Tax Manager

We're a growing, tech-forward firm that runs on systems, not chaos, and we're looking for an experienced tax manager who can own work from start to finish. Not another preparer who needs everything reviewed. Someone we can hand a client to and trust it's handled.

You won’t report up through layers of review; you’ll manage outcomes. You'll have direct access to firm leadership and a strong team behind you, including bookkeeping and prep support, so you can focus on higher-level returns, review, planning, and getting work out the door on time. If you're tired of the traditional firm model- four layers of review, billing by the hour, partners who never talk to clients- you'll like it here.

Responsibilities

What you'll own

• Prepare and review business and individual returns, including complex and multi-state work
• Manage your engagement pipeline, deadlines, and team capacity proactively; identify bottlenecks early and communicate before something becomes a fire.
• Handle IRS notices and resolution cleanly and proactively
• Proactive tax planning and strategy for clients (R&D, cost seg, PTE, entity structure, and the like)
• Spot process improvements and make them; we want your judgment, not just your hours
• Lead, coach, and develop tax preparers. Delegate effectively, provide clear review notes, and help the team become stronger and more independent.

Qualifications

You're a fit if you

• Have 5+ years in tax (7+ preferred) and can work independently from day one
• CPA required with real planning and multi-state experience
• Know Lacerte, QuickBooks, and general-ledger accounting
• Have IRS resolution experience
• Communicate proactively with clients, staff, and leadership.
• Are a self-managed adult who pushes us, not the other way around
