Clientele make-up is 60% oil & gas and real estate and 40% other. The tax accountant will be expected to prepare individual tax returns and simpler business returns.

- Starting out, the tax accountant will prepare mostly individual tax returns and gradually will begin to prepare more business returns (mostly S Corp and Partnership returns) and there are several clients in oil & gas and real estate. Some of the returns are more challenging and some of the returns are very basic, so there appears to be a nice mix.
