Business Advisor | Senior Manager

This Is Not a Traditional Senior Manager Role Kirsch CPA Group is seeking a dynamic CPA who wants to consult, lead, and advise—not sit behind the scenes reviewing work. This role is designed for a professional who thrives in client conversations, connects tax and accounting to real business decisions, and wants clear authority over client relationships. As a Client Lead, you serve as the primary advisor for a portfolio of business clients. You lead the conversation, answer questions in real time, identify opportunities, and ensure clients feel confident that their tax, compliance, and advisory needs are fully covered. This Role Is Especially Compelling If… You are a partner or partner-track CPA who enjoys advising clients but finds that: Your time is increasingly consumed by internal management, firm politics, or administrative overhead True advisory conversations are constrained by firm structure or legacy billing models Client leadership is fragmented, limiting your ability to deliver clear, decisive guidance You want meaningful influence and ownership of client relationships—without waiting years for formal authority This role offers the opportunity to lead client relationships, exercise professional judgment in real time, and focus on advisory impact, within a firm that has already built the infrastructure to support it. While the title is Senior Manager, the scope, autonomy, and client authority align with what many firms reserve for partner-level professionals.
