Senior Tax Advisor - Sarasota, FL

Location: Sarasota

Job Description

Tired of the long hours in public accounting? Feeling stuck in an industry role with little to no upward mobility?

We're partnering with a well-established, highly respected wealth advisory firm in Sarasota, Florida that might be the next step you're looking for.

Founded in 2002, the firm also has offices in Columbus and Lancaster, Ohio, and continues to grow with a strong reputation and client base.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with a strong background in individual tax planning who's looking to step into a more strategic, client-focused role. One unique perk of joining this team: the ability to become a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) - opening the door to additional income opportunities outside of traditional tax work.

Key responsibilities:

• Provide strategic tax planning for high-net-worth individuals and families, including estate, trust, and gift tax considerations
• Serve as the lead contact for client relationships on all tax-related matters
• Research and advise on complex tax situations (multi-state, partnership, international, etc.)
• Ensure accurate and timely tax compliance
• Mentor and supervise junior team members
• Contribute to firm development and client service initiatives

What makes this opportunity stand out:

• A collaborative, relationship-driven environment
• The ability to take on more advisory work, not just compliance
• Opportunities for professional growth and increased income
• A stable firm with long-term client partnerships

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• CPA license
• 5+ years of tax experience, preferably in public accounting or a similar client-facing environment
• Strong knowledge of individual income tax and high-net-worth client tax planning
• Experience with trusts, estates, and gift taxation
• Excellent communication and client relationship management skills
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset
