Tax Manager, Private Client

At most firms the private client work is whatever is left once the companies are done. Somebody picks it up in March and puts it down again in April.

Not here. There's a proper private client and estates bench, a tax group big enough that 1041s, 706s and 709s are somebody's actual job, and a tax manager seat at $137k to $167k, hybrid, in Campbell. The honest bit: this is a bigger firm than most on my desk, so there's process, and process isn't everyone's thing.

• $137k to $167k, hybrid
• Private client and estate work as a service line, not an overflow
• Big enough to have specialists to ask, small enough that the partners know your name
• CCH Axcess and Pro System, so the tooling isn't the thing holding you up
• The biggest firm on this list by some way. Expect process and a bit of hierarchy

• Review on individual, trust and estate returns for wealthy families
• 1041s, 706s and 709s alongside the personal returns
• Planning with families and the advisers around them
• Managing seniors and reviewing their work

• 5 or more years of public accounting tax
• Private client, trust or estate experience
