Tax Manager

Public Accounting Recruiter | Tax & Audit | DC, Maryland & Virginia

Senior Tax Accountant or Tax Manager

Most adverts in public accounting feel identical. Software lists. Entity lists. A polite mention of culture. But the things that actually make people move are rarely written down. So here is what matters.

If you like being trusted to do high-quality work, want a stable team with almost no turnover, and want a life outside of March and April, this is a role worth exploring.

• You would prepare and review individual, corporate, partnership, estate and trust returns, along with compilations, and review of financial statements. No audits.
• You would have genuine client responsibility and the space to work like a grown‑up.
• The office expectation is 1x per week in Columbia, MD, on Tuesdays.
• Tax season is controlled rather than chaotic. Expect around fifty hours a week. Partners do fifty‑five and consider anything above that unnecessary. Extra hours earn comp time.

• 7+ years of experience and a CPA license are ideal.
• Estate and trust experience helps but is not essential.
• Signing experience is nice to have, but not required at day one.
• EA candidates can be considered at the Senior level, but a CPA is needed for review work.

Benefits include 11 paid holidays, PTO, a retirement plan, 100% paid medical for employees, dental included, vision optional, all CPE and travel covered, and a full home office setup provided.

Salary depends on the level and the size of the book managed.
