Tax Manager – Flow-through Focus
Lakewood, CO (Hybrid – Denver Metro)
Competitive Compensation + Bonuses
Capped Busy Season (55 Hours Max)
Want to lead without losing balance?
This firm has built its reputation on doing things differently. No charge-hour tracking. No “growth at all costs.” Just a selective client base, capped busy season hours, and a team of highly experienced professionals who’ve left national firms for something better.
Why move here?
Busy season actually means 55 hours, not survival mode.
Twice-yearly profit sharing (around 10% of profits) plus competitive pay.
Leadership opportunities without the politics of a national firm.
Interesting flow-through work (S-Corps, partnerships) with clients who value you.
Where could this lead?
As a Manager, you’ll take on a key role leading client relationships and mentoring Seniors, with the potential to grow further as the firm continues to expand thoughtfully. The next 2–3 years could mean greater leadership responsibility, or simply a stable and rewarding career if that’s what you prefer.
Culture in three words?
Experienced. Selective. Balanced. The team is about 30 people, many from national firms, operating as a close-knit group rather than a corporate machine.
Who thrives here?
Managers who are technically strong, enjoy leading people, and want to focus on high-quality clients without chasing every dollar. If you value both career progression and your evenings, you’ll fit right in.
Not ready with a resume? Or want a bit more information before applying? That’s fine. Apply the old-fashioned way, or simply reach out to me on LinkedIn or through the Distinct Recruitment website. I’ll happily talk you through the role, the firm, and where it could take you before you make any commitments.
I’m Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I don’t just look at job specs; I look at people, and where they’ll thrive. It’s not about filling gaps. It’s about finding a fit that lasts.
Outside of work, balance for me is Pilates to reset, travel to explore, and skiing to recharge. Because the truth is, you don’t slog through hours for the love of a spreadsheet. You do it for the freedom it buys you. Same principle here.
