Senior Manager, Tax

Tax Manager / Senior Tax Manager

A Houston‑based wealth management firm is seeking an experienced Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager to help build and lead an in‑house tax offering for its established client base. This is an ideal opportunity for a CPA coming out of public accounting who enjoys complex tax work but is ready for a better quality of life. The firm serves successful business owners, executives, and family groups and has a built‑in client base that regularly needs sophisticated tax planning and compliance support.

The role will focus on serving existing clients rather than generating new business.

• Not public accounting
• No business development expectations
• No requirement to build or bring a book of business
• Limited overtime and a more predictable schedule
• Flexibility and autonomy
• Strong work/life balance
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Opportunity to help shape a growing tax function

• Review and manage complex individual, partnership, S corporation, C corporation, trust, and family group tax returns
• Provide proactive tax planning for business owners and high‑net‑worth individuals
• Work closely with financial advisors to integrate tax strategies into broader planning
• Serve as a trusted tax resource for clients
• Research tax issues and communicate recommendations clearly
  
  Help develop processes and best practices as the tax offering grows

• Active CPA required
• 8+ years of tax experience preferred
• CPA firm experience required
• Strong experience with business owners, closely held companies, and high‑net‑worth individuals
• Ability to manage complex tax work independently
• Strong client communication skills

This could be a great fit for a public accounting Tax Manager or Senior Manager who still enjoys the technical work but is ready to leave behind the grind, heavy overtime, and pressure to sell. A solo practitioner interested in joining an established platform with a built‑in client base may also be a strong fit.
