Tax Partner | Equity Opportunity | Cleveland, OH
*Location: Cleveland, Ohio | On-site leadership role
Candidates currently outside Northeast Ohio who are open to relocation are encouraged to apply.
Build a Practice. Influence a Firm. Become an Owner.
An established Cleveland CPA firm is seeking an experienced Tax Partner to help lead and expand one of Northeast Ohio's premier middle-market tax practices. You do not need to bring an existing book of business to be considered.
This is more than a leadership role—it's an opportunity to work alongside the Managing Partner, inherit an established client base, expand a thriving manufacturing practice, and play a key role in shaping the future of the firm.
Whether you're already a Partner seeking greater autonomy or a Tax Director ready to step into ownership, this opportunity offers a genuine path to long-term success.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Immediate leadership role within an established tax practice
- Step into an established client base while having the opportunity to expand your own portfolio and grow the firm's manufacturing tax practice.
- Strong manufacturing and middle-market client base
- Direct partnership with firm leadership
- Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture
- Competitive compensation, significant signing bonus, and equity participation
Compensation & Partnership
- Competitive executive compensation
- Performance-based incentive opportunity
- Equity participation or accelerated path to equity
- Significant signing bonus
- Comprehensive benefits
What You'll Lead
- Manage and grow a successful manufacturing-focused tax practice
- Serve as a trusted advisor to privately held businesses
- Review complex tax engagements involving corporations, partnerships, trusts, nonprofits, and high-net-worth individuals
- Provide advanced tax planning and technical guidance
- Mentor and develop future tax leaders
- Expand client relationships and support strategic business development throughout Northeast Ohio
What We're Looking For
- Active CPA
- 7+ years in public accounting
- Strong experience with privately held businesses
- Expertise in pass-through entities, S-Corporations, partnerships, and high-net-worth clients
- Demonstrated client relationship and business development skills
- Collaborative leadership style with experience mentoring tax professionals
Experience with a regional or Big Four accounting firm is highly preferred.
Who This Role Is Ideal For
- Tax Directors ready to become Partner
- Existing Partners seeking greater influence and autonomy
- Senior tax leaders looking to build and grow a practice within a respected regional firm
