Tax Manager | Public Accounting | $140K–$170K
A well-established public accounting firm is expanding and looking to add several Tax Managers to their team. These are newly created roles driven by growth — not backfills.
What sets this firm apart: leadership is a mix of partners who've come from both Big 4 and boutique firms, so you get sophisticated technical resources alongside a genuinely collegial, low-politics culture. They hire for fit as much as for technical skill, and they invest in people through structured mentorship and a formal leadership development program.
The firm also takes work-life balance seriously in practice, not just in messaging — flexible remote work, no expectation of weekend email, and a culture that actually encourages people to step away during the day. Remote social hours and workout classes help keep the team connected.
What You'll Do
- Lead and manage complex tax compliance engagements, ensuring quality, budget, and deadlines are met
- Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, resolving issues promptly and professionally
- Manage client and staff expectations through clear, proactive communication
- Mentor and advise associates on tax and accounting matters
- Contribute to firm-wide initiatives and take on internal leadership opportunities
- Plan, staff, and schedule engagements across teams and clients
What You Bring
- 7+ years of experience in corporate, partnership, and individual tax compliance
- CPA license (required)
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting; Master's a plus
- Strong tax research and analytical skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
Compensation: $140,000–$170,000, commensurate with experience
