Tax Manager at Distinct | North America in Fort Worth, Texas

Tax Manager

North Dallas, TX

$135,000 to $160,000

If you want strong clients, real ownership, and a role that can genuinely lead somewhere, this is worth a serious look

A lot of Tax Manager roles sit in the middle. Plenty of responsibility. Plenty of client work. Plenty of pressure. But not always much clarity on what it is all building toward. This opportunity is with an established Texas CPA firm in North Dallas with a broad service offering across tax, accounting, audit, review, and bookkeeping. The client base includes high net worth individuals alongside businesses across sectors such as oil and gas, healthcare, and hospitality, which gives the role more variety and more depth than a narrow compliance only seat.

What makes this role interesting is the mix of visibility and opportunity. In a firm like this, you are not hidden behind layers. You are close enough to the work, the clients, and the leadership team for your contribution to be felt. That matters if you want more than just another manager title and would rather step into something with real weight to it. The work would suit someone who enjoys leading client relationships, keeping quality high, and being trusted with more than just getting returns out the door. It is the sort of role where technical grounding matters, but so does judgment, presence with clients, and the ability to help drive things forward. It is also a smart time to have this conversation. Joining a new firm over the summer gives you the chance to get settled properly, build relationships, and head into the fall deadlines from a much stronger position.

Exposure to high net worth clients and a varied business client base

Real visibility inside a smaller leadership group

A role built around client relationships, delivery, and trust

A strong platform for someone who wants to keep progressing

What You'll Be Doing

Working closely with firm leadership on client priorities and delivery

Building toward a bigger leadership role over time

What They Are Looking For

Strong public accounting tax experience at Manager level

Someone credible with clients and comfortable leading relationships

CPA or EA preferred

If you are at the stage where you want your next move to bring more visibility, better clients, and a stronger platform for the next few years, this is well worth a conversation.

If LinkedIn hides it, I'm Alex Alcock (Distinct). I'm around from 6am CST and after 5pm CST. Sitting at ~87% of the spec? Perfect. Apply anyway. The CPA firms I partner with want interesting people, not corporate clones. Don't overthink it. Worst case, we have a useful chat about your next step. Best case? You've just found the last firm you'll need for a long time.
