Tax Manager, Hybrid, Peak

Made Manager and found busy season only got longer? At this Fort Worth firm, peak weeks top out around 50 to 55 hours, you work hybrid all year, and the role pays $125,000 to $160,000.

An independent CPA firm in Fort Worth TX is adding a Tax Manager with at least five years of public accounting tax experience. You get the real Manager job: owning clients, reviewing returns and developing junior staff. What you don't get is the lifestyle that usually comes bundled with it.

Busy season is still busy, nobody is pretending otherwise. The firm just keeps a lid on it, and the independent setup means far less corporate feel than the larger names.
