Job Details

Tax Manager – Remote – Real Estate & Construction Focus

Salary: $120,000 - $175,000 per year

We are a full‑service, independently owned regional CPA firm with approximately 100 professionals and over 40 years of history serving a diverse, complex client base. We have built a reputation as the largest local public accounting firm in our region and we have done it by going beyond traditional CPA functions to act as true advisors and partners to our clients.

Our practice is centered on business taxation, primarily pass‑through entities, with additional work in HNWI, Trusts & Estates, and assurance. Our client base spans real estate, construction, manufacturing, professional services, energy, agriculture, communications and more. We have been recognized on Construction Executive’s Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms list six consecutive years running, reflecting genuine depth in an industry where complexity is the norm.

We are growing, profitable, and selective about who joins the team. Average tenure across the firm is seven years, a number that reflects a culture where people actually want to stay.

This role is fully remote with quarterly in‑person meet‑ups in Sacramento for team connection and collaboration.

No mom‑and‑pop rentals or small residential work. Our real estate and construction clients include large syndicated deals with multiple partners, major general contractors, and sophisticated developers. If you have worked on complex, multi‑entity partnership structures and want to go deeper rather than broader, this is the right seat.

• People who grow here earn recognition. A partner on our team joined 14 years ago and made partner 3 years ago. This kind of trajectory is the norm here.
• 7‑year average tenure in public accounting is rare. It tells you that people who join this firm tend to stay because the work is interesting, the culture is supportive, and the firm takes care of its people financially.
• Competitive compensation and bonus eligibility.
• Recognized expertise – six consecutive years on Construction Executive’s Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms list.

This is an 80% real estate and construction‑focused Tax Manager position, with the remaining work spanning pass‑through entities, HNWI, and other business tax clients. You will own relationships, lead engagements, and mentor the team within a firm that has built its reputation on being true advisors, not just compliance processors.

• Managing a complex client portfolio weighted heavily toward real estate and construction, including syndicated deals, multi‑partner structures, large GCs, and developers.
• Reviewing federal and multi‑state tax returns across partnerships, S‑Corps, LLCs, and individual returns prepared by staff and senior associates.
• Serving as the primary client relationship manager, staying current on client businesses, proactively identifying issues, and bringing solutions.
• Providing on‑the‑job training and mentorship to staff and seniors.
• Keeping partners informed of key engagement developments and contributing to firm‑wide practice management.
• Ensuring all deliverables and compliance deadlines are met with accuracy.
• Independently researching and applying tax and accounting standards as needed.

• Active CPA license required.
• 5+ years of public accounting experience with meaningful exposure to real estate and/or construction clients, complex deal structures, partnership taxation, and multi‑entity environments preferred.
• Pass‑through entity experience essential; syndicated real estate, large GC, or developer experience a strong plus.
• Proven ability to supervise and develop staff and senior associates.
• Strong client communication skills, written and verbal.
• Comfortable managing multiple engagements simultaneously with competing deadlines.
• A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in mentoring others.

• Competitive salary of $120,000‑$175,000 per year.
• Bonus eligible.
• Fully remote with quarterly Sacramento meet‑ups for in‑person connection.
• Recognized expertise – six consecutive years on Construction Executive’s Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms list.
