We are a regionally rooted, independently owned CPA and advisory firm with nearly five decades of history—serving privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and a broad range of corporate and nonprofit clients across the country. We are hiring a Tax Manager to join a growing, high-performing tax practice—fully remote—with a clear path for someone who wants to build a career, not just fill a seat.
This is a firm that has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way. Ranked among the Top 200 accounting firms in the U.S. every year since 2020, recognized as a "Best of the Best" firm by Inside Public Accounting, and sitting at a 4.5/5 star Glassdoor rating—the culture here is not a talking point, it's the product of 200 people who actually want to be there.
Median employee tenure exceeds 7 years.
And if you've been watching firms around you get absorbed by PE platforms or rolled up into national aggregators—this is the alternative. This firm is 100% independently owned, has no interest in private equity, and intends to keep it that way.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out- Genuinely Flexible Remote Work: The firm has 27+ fully remote employees outside of its home market.
- Summer Hours (32 Hours Per Week): Every summer, the firm shifts to a 32-hour workweek, firm-wide.
- Busy Season That Stays in Its Lane: February and March run 45-50 hours. April peaks at 50-60 max.
- Partner Track That's Actually Real: The firm promotes from within and has the tenure data to prove it.
- Quarterly Fly-Outs for Remote Employees: The firm flies remote employees in at least once per quarter for company meetings and events—all expenses paid.
- Sabbatical Leave: A genuine sabbatical program for long-tenured employees.
- Generous PTO
- 9 paid holidays
- Sabbatical leave eligibility
- 32-hour summer workweeks
- Full reimbursement for CPA exam fees and continuing education
- Quarterly all-expenses-paid remote employee fly-outs
- Company events throughout the year
- Review and manage tax compliance and planning for closely held businesses, pass-through entities, and high-net-worth individuals.
- Lead and develop client relationships with a quality-first approach.
- Mentor junior and senior staff; contribute to internal training and team development.
- Identify proactive tax planning opportunities and advise clients on evolving tax law.
- Collaborate with partners and senior leadership on client strategy and firm growth.
- Active CPA license required.
- 5-6+ years of public accounting experience, with meaningful tax review and management responsibility (1-2 years as Manager).
- Strong background in pass-through entities, closely held businesses, and/or HNW individual taxation.
- Excellent client communication and relationship management skills.
- Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment.
