Ready to Be More Than the Tax Expert in the Room?

Lifetime Tax Advisors is looking for a Tax Manager who brings together two things that aren't always easy to find: deep technical tax expertise and the ability to become a genuinely trusted advisor to clients.

You’ll manage sophisticated tax relationships with business owners, high-net-worth individuals, and successful professionals—helping them understand not just their tax situation today, but the decisions and strategies that can help them get where they want to go.

This is not a compliance-only role. We’re looking for someone who can see around corners, communicate clearly, develop people, and proactively bring solutions to the table.

Lifetime Tax Advisors is part of Lifetime Cos., an à la carte family office providing comprehensive wealth management, tax advisory, and insurance services.

Lead People & Projects

• Train, supervise, mentor, and develop tax professionals
• Provide technical guidance and maintain quality standards across client work
• Manage multiple client projects and priorities simultaneously
• Support business restructurings and transaction implementation
• Identify inefficiencies and help improve workflows
• Document successful processes so they can be replicated across the organization

Help Build What’s Next

• Help Lifetime continue evolving from traditional compliance into proactive advisory relationships
• Collaborate with Lifetime’s Wealth Management and Insurance teams
• Identify opportunities to provide greater value across the broader client relationship
• Contribute ideas that improve how the Tax division operates and serves clients

What We’re Looking For

• CPA, EA, Attorney, or equivalent professional credential with the ability to represent clients before the IRS and sign tax returns
