About Us

TAM Accounting Inc. is a licensed tax, accounting, and advisory firm headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. We serve individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses across all 50 states, with a particular focus on Turkish-speaking founders and investors building companies in the United States.

Our services cover:

  • U.S. company formation
  • Tax preparation and planning
  • Bookkeeping and accounting
  • Payroll
  • International tax compliance

    • We take signature-level responsibility for our clients' work, and we don't pass it along to third parties. Our clients rely on us not only for accurate filings but for clear guidance as they navigate the U.S. tax and regulatory system. We are building a team that shares that standard.


    The Role

    We are looking for an experienced U.S. Tax Accountant who can own a portfolio of clients end to end, from bookkeeping and monthly close through year-end tax filings.

    This is not a back-office role. You will:

    • Meet with clients directly
    • Explain their numbers and obligations in plain language
    • Follow up proactively on what's missing
    • Become the person clients trust to guide them

    We want someone equally comfortable in a tax return and in a client meeting.

    • Perform periodic reviews of client records to ensure accuracy and flag issues early

    • Hold regular video and phone meetings with clients, in English and Turkish
