We are one of the largest and most established independently owned accounting and advisory firms in the Northeast, serving clients across the country. We are creating a brand-new internal tax department for the firm itself, and you would be the first hire and the person who builds it.

This is not a client-service seat. You would own tax for the firm, its partnership entities, and its owners, reporting directly to the CFO and advising firm leadership. There is no inherited structure and no legacy process to untangle, so you decide how the department runs.

• Build the Department:
  You set the processes, define the standards, and hire the team. The plan is a Tax Manager and then a Tax Senior reporting to you, in that order.
• Fully Remote:
  Work from anywhere in the Eastern or Central time zones, with no relocation and no commute.
• Direct Line to Leadership:
  You report to the CFO and advise firm leadership on tax planning, ownership changes, and legislative updates. Your work shapes decisions, not just returns.
• No Client Pressure:
  No billable hours, no busy season treadmill built around client deadlines, and no business development quotas. Your only client is the firm.
• Technically Rich Work:
  Partnership taxation, allocations, distributions, capital accounts and basis, multi-state compliance, provisions, estimates, and forecasting, plus owner and partner individual returns.
• A Stable Finance Team:
  Turnover in the finance group has been very low. Leadership is established and people stay.
• Independent Firm:
  Independently owned and committed to staying that way, with strong growth and the resources of a much larger platform.

• Build and lead the firm's internal tax function, including processes, controls, and calendar
• Oversee partnership returns and K-1s for the firm's entities, including allocations, distributions, capital accounts, and basis
• Manage individual (1040) compliance and planning for the firm's partners and owners, both active and retired
• Handle multi-state compliance, quarterly provisions, estimates, forecasting, notices, and audits
• Oversee sales and use, property, and other indirect tax, along with some S-corporation work
• Advise the CFO and firm leadership on tax strategy, ownership transitions, and legislative changes, translating technical issues into practical guidance
• Hire, develop, and lead the team as it grows

• 10+ years of tax experience
• CPA or EA Required
