Tax Manager

Here's a thing about mid sized firms. The manager who can do a bit of everything tends to be worth more to them than a specialist, and they usually treat that person accordingly. This Tax Manager seat in Irvine is that sort of job, $118k to $147k plus a bonus, hybrid, with a firm of between 50 and 100 people that does audit and tax and a bit of outsourced CFO work.

The returns run across individuals and businesses, with nonprofits and trusts in the mix, and you'll be the one answering when a tax authority writes in. Nobody's promised me a number on hours for this one, so ask.

Why this firm:

• $118k to $147k, plus a performance bonus
• Hybrid, with some remote working on top
• Medical, dental and vision, and a matched retirement plan
• A good spread of return types, so the season doesn't blur into one
• They want someone who's already a manager, so it's not the move for a first step up

What you'll be doing:

• Reviewing individual, business, nonprofit and trust returns
• Handling notices and helping when a client is audited
• Planning and research for clients
• Training the staff coming up behind you

What you'll have:

• CPA
• 5 years or more of public accounting tax, with a year or two as a manager already
• A master's in tax is a plus
