Tax Manager – Ownership Track Opportunity

 We’re partnering with a well-established CPA firm that has been a trusted name in the market for many years. Due to an upcoming retirement of one of the owners, the firm is looking for an experienced Tax Manager who not only wants to manage and grow client relationships but is also interested in an ownership track within the firm. This is a rare chance to step into a leadership role with a clear path to partnership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and review complex corporate, partnership, high-net-worth individual, fiduciary, and tax-exempt entity tax returns.

  • Meet with prospective clients, assist with proposals, and develop new relationships.

  • Interpret trust documents, wills, business operating agreements, and other related documents.

  • Support clients with related business needs (QuickBooks, payroll tax, sales tax).

  • Represent clients before the IRS as needed.

  • Supervise and mentor staff, providing feedback and supporting professional growth.

  • Maintain accurate billing records and manage multiple client relationships, engagements, and projects—delivering on time and within budget.

  • Keep partners informed of key developments, identify potential issues, and recommend solutions.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s in Accounting or related field preferred.

  • Active CPA license required.

  • At least 5+ years of progressive public accounting experience.

  • Solid technical tax knowledge and client service skills.

  • Strong interpersonal and leadership abilities with a team-oriented mindset.

  • Proficiency with MS Office Suite and tax software such as Thomson Reuters (or equivalent).

What’s In It For You

  • Clear path to ownership/partnership as part of a succession plan.

  • Stable client base and supportive leadership team.

  • Competitive compensation package and benefits.

  • On-site role with direct access to senior leadership and decision-making.
