Tax Manager

An established CPA firm in Marin County, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, is hiring a Tax Manager. Roughly 40 years in business, and still growing organically rather than through acquisition.

You'll work across individual, business, nonprofit, and trust returns rather than sitting in one niche — the kind of variety you don't usually get once you're past a certain size. The workload is a genuine mix of prep and review depending on what's needed; managers here aren't locked into review-only. Busy season runs February through April at 50-55 billable hours a week;

outside of that it's a standard 40. The office closes on Fridays throughout July.

• 8-10 years of tax experience
• Broad exposure across individual, business, nonprofit and trust work
• A stable work history — this firm is looking for someone building a career here, not passing through
• Comfortable moving between preparation and review as workload requires
• Lacerte experience is a plus but not a deal breaker
• An existing book of business is a plus
• Local to the North Bay for a manageable commute

• Base salary $150,000-$200,000 depending on experience and book of business
• Bonus of roughly 5-15%
• 10% commission on any new client business you bring in, paid for as long as that client stays with the firm
• Hybrid schedule: 2 days WFH per week, non-consecutive, and flexible enough to shift week to week around your life
• A real path to partnership based on client relationships and effort rather than tenure or title — partners here have made it without ever holding a manager title
• CPE, licensing, and master's in taxation reimbursement
• Small-firm culture with direct access to leadership — weekly staff lunches, in-person collaboration valued for training and knowledge-sharing

The firm has grown from 3 to 5 partners in the last two years, with more change ahead as growth continues and one partner looks toward retirement.
