Tax Senior Manager (or Tax Director)

Job Overview

Join a highly respected CPA firm that truly offers the best of both worlds: the close‑knit culture of a local practice backed by the resources and stability of a national platform. This is a succession role with a clear path to partner in 1–2 years, stepping into strong, long‑standing client relationships. The firm is growth‑focused, PE‑free, and hiring while others pull back. If you’re a Tax Director or a strong Senior Manager ready to lead, this is the kind of opportunity that can define your next chapter.
