How to sex it up?

I'm planning on changing jobs and I'm struggling with my resume. For the past 10 years or so I've worked in public accounting and have been a tax manager the past 2-3. The problem I'm having is how to describe my work duties in an impressive way.

I work hard and do quality work but I don't think it's too impressive saying things like "reviews tax returns". How can i sex this up a bit? I realize most people bs and imbellish on their resumes so i have to compete with that somehow.
