A Tax Staff II role can mean two very different things depending on where you work.

At Clark Schaefer Hackett, it means real responsibility starting with your first tax season.

You'll prepare and review business and high-net-worth individual tax returns, contribute to tax research and planning work, and work alongside Seniors, Managers, and Partners on advisory projects rather than routine compliance alone.

We're looking for a bachelor's degree in accounting, two or more years of tax experience in public accounting, and progress toward a CPA or EA.

Ready for a role that puts you to work right away?

What happens when a German tax advisor spends a year working inside a US firm?

Nina Schmidt, of our AGN International partner firm Ypsilon Group, is finding out firsthand. She's spending a year at CSH in Cincinnati to build out Ypsilon's US Tax Desk, sit alongside our team, and understand US tax practice from the inside, all while studying for the Enrolled Agent exam.

Her first blog post looks at why that matters: different filing deadlines, different vocabulary, and the real risk of getting a perfectly correct answer to the wrong question when two tax systems aren't talking to each other closely enough.

Meet Olivia Dalton, Manager on our Risk & Controls team in Cincinnati!

Olivia joined CSH in August 2024 after hearing about us through word of mouth, and she's brought a mindset that fits right into R&C: leading with respect. She says it's the foundation of every successful client and colleague relationship, especially in a field built on trust and collaboration.

When she's not managing engagements or coaching her team through the "why" behind their work, you'll find her at a Broadway show, a coffee shop, or walking her dog around Cincinnati.

Welcome to the team, Olivia!

People are at the heart of every successful business. Strategy, growth, client relationships, results. Every one of them traces back to the people who show up and do the work.

That is the true meaning of Labor Day. This holiday began as a way to recognize workers, celebrate their rights, and acknowledge their contributions to our country. It honors those whose efforts have made everything else possible.

So to everyone taking a well-earned day off, and to the teams keeping things running today, thank you.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Clark Schaefer Strategic HR!

Our East Lansing team is hiring a Tax Manager, and the role goes well beyond reviewing returns.

You'd lead complex engagements from planning through delivery, serve as the primary advisor and relationship manager for your clients, and help business owners work through the decisions that actually shape where their companies go next. You'd also coach and develop the tax professionals coming up behind you.

If you hold a CPA, EA, or CA designation and have public accounting tax experience, we'd welcome the chance to connect.

Organizations often feel the strain before they see the solution. Contract HR support provides experienced, interim expertise to stabilize operations, maintain compliance, and keep strategic initiatives moving forward.

This can be a great experience for both the contractor and the company. Here is what one HR Benefits Consultant shared after an eight-month engagement:

“I spent eight months supporting a client as an HR Benefits Consultant, and it was a truly positive experience. I initially connected with Melissa Dern while working on an internal requisition at my previous company. When I mentioned I would be leaving that role, she thoughtfully kept me in mind and later reached out about this contract opportunity.

At the client, I supported benefits administration, leave management, and employee inquiries, while also partnering with HR leadership on additional initiatives, including the early stages of a new HRIS implementation. The HR team was collaborative, communicative, and welcoming, which made it easy to jump in and start contributing right away.

Overall, this was a smooth, well-run engagement. I appreciated the opportunity to make an impact during an important time for the organization and thoroughly enjoyed working with Melissa throughout the assignment.”

Our Mumbai team turned India's 80th Independence Day into more than a celebration. They spent the day answering one question: what does freedom mean to you at work? The responses, shared under , said more about our culture than any policy statement ever could.

🙋‍♀️ For Shambhavi Rimal, it's hearing "yes" when she raises her hand for something new.

🌱 For Sejal Jain, it's the money plant the firm gave each employee that day, a reminder that people grow the same way plants do, with roots of support and room to reach for the sky.

💭 Pankti Dharod, running her first event as Cultural Committee Co-Chair, called it the freedom to turn ideas into real experiences.

⏩ Arbaz Khan put it simply: the comfort of being himself and keeping moving forward, even after a mistake.

🗣️ Krishna Singh found it in the freedom to ask, "Can we try this differently?"

⚖️ Rushab Ganekar named it the power of choice and the trust to be judged by outcomes, not hours.

🧡 Pradeep Narasimhagowda reminded the team that today's freedom came at a cost worth honoring.

🧠 And Pooja Bangera summed it up as the freedom to think differently and grow without limits.

That's what Respect, Excellence, Accountability, and Leadership look like in practice: a team trusted to speak up, take initiative, and grow in their own way. Scroll through the album below to see how our India team celebrated 80 years of independence, CSH style.
