Job Description

Job Description

Senior Tax Manager Construction Tax | Business Advisory | Leadership Opportunity | Path to Principal

Compensation: $160,000 - $220,000+ Base + Performance Bonus Opportunities

Location: Chandler, Arizona (Phoenix Metro Area)
Schedule: Hybrid / Remote Flexibility Available

Our client, a highly respected CPA and advisory firm serving construction companies, real estate organizations, and closely held businesses, is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Manager to join its leadership team.

This is more than a traditional tax management role.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted advisor to construction business owners, real estate investors, and entrepreneurial companies while helping lead a growing practice known for technical expertise, exceptional client service, and a culture that supports both professional growth and personal balance.

The firm has built a strong reputation by helping business owners navigate complex tax and financial challenges, improve profitability, maximize bonding capacity, and make informed strategic decisions. Leadership places a strong emphasis on long-term client relationships, practical business advice, and developing future leaders from within.

If you're looking for a role that combines sophisticated tax planning, client advisory work, leadership responsibility, and a realistic path toward Principal or Partner, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • $160,000 - $220,000+ base salary
  • Significant performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Hybrid and remote flexibility
  • Principal/Partner-track opportunity
  • Specialized construction and real estate client base
  • Direct access to firm leadership
  • Strong work-life balance culture
  • Meaningful client interaction year-round
  • Entrepreneurial and collaborative environment
  • Opportunity to influence the future growth of the practice
  • Continuing education and professional development support
About the Firm

Our client is a growing public accounting and advisory firm focused on helping businesses thrive through proactive tax planning, accounting expertise, and strategic business consulting.

The firm has developed deep expertise serving:

  • Construction Contractors
  • General Contractors
  • Specialty Contractors
  • Real Estate Investors
  • Developers
  • Closely Held Businesses
  • High-Net-Worth Individuals
  • Multi-Entity Businesses

Services include:

  • Tax Planning & Compliance
  • Business Advisory Services
  • Financial Statement Services
  • Business Consulting
  • Accounting Services
  • QuickBooks Consulting
  • Business Valuation Support
The Opportunity

As a Senior Tax Manager, you'll serve as both a technical tax leader and strategic advisor while helping clients navigate increasingly complex business and tax issues.

You'll gain exposure to:

  • Construction Taxation
  • Real Estate Tax Planning
  • Long-Term Contract Accounting
  • Percentage-of-Completion Accounting
  • Multi-State Taxation
  • Pass-Through Entity Taxation
  • Entity Structuring
  • Cost Segregation Planning
  • Tax Advisory Services
  • Client Relationship Management
  • Leadership & Team Development

This role provides an exceptional blend of technical expertise, advisory work, leadership responsibility, and firm influence.

Key Responsibilities Tax Planning & Advisory

  • Develop proactive tax strategies for construction and real estate clients
  • Research and resolve complex federal and state tax matters

  • Assist with Section 460 matters and long-term contract accounting issues
  • Consult on revenue recognition strategies
  • Support bonding, surety, and financial reporting considerations
  • Provide guidance on cost segregation and depreciation planning
Client Relationship Management
  • Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships
  • Lead client meetings and planning discussions
  • Provide year-round business and tax consulting support
  • Communicate complex issues in a practical, understandable manner
  • Identify opportunities to expand client services
Leadership & Staff Development
  • Mentor, supervise, and develop tax professionals
  • Review workpapers, tax returns, and deliverables
  • Provide technical guidance and coaching
  • Help build future leaders within the firm
  • Promote a collaborative and growth-oriented culture
Practice Development
  • Assist with firm growth initiatives
  • Improve processes and operational efficiency
  • Contribute to leadership discussions and strategic planning
  • Support recruiting and staff retention initiatives
  • Help expand the firm's construction and real estate niche expertise
Qualifications Required
  • Active CPA license
  • 7+ years of public accounting tax experience
  • Strong construction industry tax experience
  • Experience reviewing complex business tax returns
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Partnership Taxation
    • S-Corporation Taxation
    • Multi-State Taxation
    • Construction Taxation
    • Long-Term Contract Accounting
  • Strong client relationship management abilities
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Ability to manage multiple engagements simultaneously
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation package
  • Significant annual bonus opportunities
  • Flexible hybrid and remote scheduling
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Continuing education support
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Leadership development initiatives
  • Partner-track opportunities
  • Strong work-life balance culture
What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Many Senior Tax Manager opportunities focus heavily on compliance and internal responsibilities.

This position allows you to become a true strategic advisor to construction and real estate business owners while helping shape the future direction of a growing CPA and advisory practice.

You'll have the opportunity to build deep client relationships, solve sophisticated tax challenges, mentor talented professionals, and actively contribute to the firm's long-term growth and success.

The combination of compensation, flexibility, specialized industry focus, leadership opportunity, and partner-track potential makes this one of the strongest senior tax opportunities in the Phoenix market.

About Our Client

Our client is a respected CPA and advisory firm known for technical excellence, construction industry expertise, strong client relationships, and a collaborative culture. Through investment in people, technology, and professional development, the firm has built an environment where experienced professionals can continue growing while making a meaningful impact on both clients and colleagues.

If you're a Senior Tax Manager, Tax Director, Construction Tax Specialist, or experienced CPA seeking leadership opportunities, advisory-focused work, and a realistic path toward ownership, we'd love to speak with you confidentially.
