Tax Manager | CPA Firm | Hybrid | $140,000 – $200,000 | Irvine, CA
Most “hybrid” jobs are like hotel minibars, technically there, but not really for you. This one is different.
If you’re an experienced Tax Manager who wants challenging, interesting work and evenings that still belong to you, this opportunity could be the rare thing you’re looking for.
This regional CPA firm in Irvine has managed to combine the resources and technical complexity of a much larger practice with the humanity and flexibility of a mid-sized one. Their client base is diverse from HNWIs to multi-entity corporations, but stable, so your role doesn’t feel like putting out fires every week.
Why CPAs actually stay here:
- Hybrid schedule where flexibility isn’t rationed like it’s a luxury item
- Supportive leadership that understands autonomy works better than micromanagement
- Professional development and mentorship built into the culture
- Complex, varied client work that keeps your skills sharp without consuming your life
- A modern Irvine office with tech that helps rather than hinders
What’s on offer:
- $140,000 – $200,000 base salary
- A clear path to leadership
- because careers don’t advance by accident
- Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, 401k, PTO)
- A hybrid schedule that’s part of the design, not a grudging concession
- A collaborative, people-first team environment
The right fit:
- 6+ years of tax experience in public accounting
- CPA license
- Strong technical skills across S Corps, partnerships, individuals, and multi-entity returns
- Experience mentoring staff and leading engagements without treating it like a box-ticking exercise
- Based in Southern California
This is one of those rare roles that proves you don’t have to choose between doing meaningful, high-level tax work and living a life outside the office. Put another way: you can keep your edge and your weekends.
