Tax Partner – Private Clients
Are you ready to step into a leadership role where your impact is felt at every level? Clients, colleagues, and the firm’s future? Do you thrive on building lasting client relationships while mentoring and shaping the next generation of tax professionals?
This firm is at a pivotal moment of growth, currently mid sized ready for continued expansion. It’s an exciting time to help drive that growth, bring fresh ideas, and see tangible results from your leadership.
As a Partner, you’ll be a key figure in the firm both as a technical expert in private clients and a leader who cultivates collaboration and development. You’ll work with HNW and UHNW clients, offering strategic guidance in: • Tax compliance & planning • Family office oversight • Estate & succession planning • Broader financial management strategies
This isn’t just about tax it’s about seeing the full picture for your clients and working closely with them and their advisors to create meaningful, long-term financial strategies.
If you’re currently a director looking for a clear path to Partner, this firm offers a direct route with a potential 1-2 year timeline based on performance and contribution.
Beyond the technical work, this firm has created a truly different public accounting environment one that prioritizes work-life balance without sacrificing excellence.
They have capped busy season hours at 55 and stuck to it. They offer an open PTO policy where partners and staff typically take four to five weeks off, and leadership ensures people actually take the time they need. There’s a strong culture of collaboration, not competition when someone is away, the team steps in to help. They are deeply committed to giving back, with active volunteer initiatives and charitable projects woven into their identity.
While being local to the office is important for collaboration and leadership, there’s no rigid policy on set in-office days. The focus is on meaningful facetime, mentorship, and team engagement, not outdated rules
