  • Partner closely with firm leadership on client growth and relationship expansion
  • Identify planning opportunities across trust, estate, gift, and private wealth structures
  • Build strong internal and external referral relationships
What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out
  • Highly visible leadership-track Tax Manager role

  • Strong preference for California market exposure
  • National firm resources with entrepreneurial team feel
  • Long-term path toward Senior Manager / Director / Partner
  • Excellent work-life flexibility and autonomy
Ideal Background
  • CPA, EA, or JD required
  • 5+ years in public accounting tax
  • Strong experience in Estate, Gift, Trust, and Private Wealth taxation
  • Prior experience reviewing complex fiduciary and individual returns
