Job Description & How to Apply Below

Most Tax Managers don't leave because they've forgotten how to prepare a tax return.

They leave because somewhere along the way, they stopped feeling like an accountant and started feeling like a bottleneck.

Review. Sign off. Repeat.

If the reason you got into public accounting was to solve problems, build relationships and become someone clients actually call for advice, this firm has managed to preserve exactly that.

Their clients are privately owned businesses, real estate groups and investment entities. The technical work is certainly there, but it's only part of the job. The interesting bit is helping business owners make better decisions throughout the year, not just at filing deadlines.

You’ll get to know your clients well enough that you’ll understand where they’re trying to get to, not just where they were last April.

Why people tend to enjoy working here:

Busy season is capped at around 55 hours, and they have open PTO, with leadership encouraging people to actually take time off.

They work with complex, privately held businesses where planning and advisory work are just as important as compliance, in a collaborative environment where Partners remain approachable and involved.

They have clear progression towards Senior Manager, Director, and ultimately Partner, with continued investment in technology to make the work better, not simply faster.

What you’ll be doing
  • Reviewing complex Partnership, S Corporation and C Corporation returns.
  • Advising privately owned businesses, real estate groups and investment entities.
  • Working on tax planning and consulting projects throughout the year.
  • Becoming a trusted point of contact for your clients.
  • Coaching and reviewing the work of Staff and Seniors.
  • Working closely with leadership on key client relationships and strategic projects.
What they’re looking for
  • CPA required.
  • Strong experience with Partnerships, pass‑through entities, S Corporations and C Corporations.
  • Someone who enjoys working directly with business owners, not just reviewing returns.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues in a practical way.
  • Someone who wants to continue growing as both a technical professional and a leader.
