Tax Advisor​/Tax Manager - Wealth Management; CPA or EA)

What if your tax expertise could shape client decisions before they create tax consequences?

If you enjoy solving complex tax problems, building long-term client relationships, and helping families make proactive financial decisions, The Planning Center may be the next step in your career.

Unlike a traditional CPA firm, our tax professionals work alongside CFP professionals all year long. Tax planning is part of the whole financial picture here, not a task at the end of it. You will spend less time tracking billable hours and more time helping clients make informed decisions that improve their lives.

No audit and accounting work. No business development quotas. No endless busy-season grind.

Just meaningful client relationships, sophisticated planning work, and a team committed to helping clients thrive.

We are a fee-only, fiduciary financial planning firm, and we have been guiding families for over 25 years. Our vision is to create a safe place for everyone to talk about money and navigate life's transitions. Our mission is to help people find financial clarity through stewardship and connection.

We work with professionals, executives, business owners, retirees and multi-generational families who want a guide for their financial lives and value having tax and financial planning under one roof. We are a privately owned, mid-size firm with several locations across the U.S., and we are still growing. We value different perspectives, entrepreneurial thinking, and above all a commitment to act in our clients' best interests.

We have been named one of the Best RIAs to Work For several years running. We pride ourselves in how we work as a collaborative, values-focused team that leaves room for life outside the office.

As a Tax Advisor, you lead the tax side of the relationship for many of our client families. You'll work closely with our financial planners and fellow tax professionals, join planning conversations throughout the year, and help clients make informed choices before a transaction happens. That year-round conversation is what makes filing season go smoother, and what leads to better results for the people we serve.

This is a great fit if you enjoy the tax work but want the opportunity to build deeper and more meaningful relationships through the work you do - both with clients and others on the team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the tax service piece of the relationship for many of our clients and collaborate extensively with our financial planners and others on our tax team to best serve our clients;
• Work on tax projections and multi-year tax planning, such as Roth conversion analysis, retirement distribution planning, equity compensation planning, charitable giving strategies, and other exciting projects that make a tangible difference in the lives of our clients;
• Review federal and multi-state tax returns prepared by others and prepare more complex returns; and
