Tax Manager
Not every move needs to be a huge leap. Sometimes it’s about finding the right team, the right leadership, and the right environment to do your best work. This growing firm is looking for a Tax Manager to join their close-knit team of 16 people.
The owner has been very hands-on up to this point, but as the firm continues to grow, he’s ready to step back from the day-to-day and focus more on high-level leadership. This is a key role in that transition, they’re looking for someone experienced who can take ownership of the tax team, bring a strategic mindset, and help continue building and developing the staff.
You’ll be working with high-profile clients across real estate, professional services, healthcare, financial services, creatives, and high-net-worth individuals. Alongside tax, the firm also offers fractional CFO and back-office services to a range of industries, so there’s strong variety across the client base. Right now, the owner still gets involved in about 20% of client planning and technical review, the goal is for you, as the technical Tax Manager, to bridge that gap and take full ownership.
They pride themselves on a coaching-led, high-trust culture, where flexibility and strong communication go hand in hand.
They’re targeting a busy season that tops out around 50–55 hours per week and offer a hybrid schedule (three days in the office, two remote). There’s additional flexibility over the summer, with summer Fridays or four-day workweeks when team goals are met. They believe in rewarding results, not just time in a chair.
The right person will be a CPA (or EA) with a strong tax background, ideally with some financial accounting knowledge and QuickBooks experience. Just as important, they’re looking for someone who enjoys developing others — not just managing work, but helping the team become stronger, more well-rounded accountants. It’s a hands-on role, but with a clear path to growing into a bigger leadership position as the firm evolves. Salary is up to $150K plus bonus.

The firm is dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace, and we are always looking for talent with a range of experiences.
