Tax Manager

Our client, an established, highly respected regional CPA firm in the Greater Cincinnati area is seeking a Tax Manager to step into a highly visible advisory role. If you are looking for a clear path to equity ownership without the brutal burnout of traditional public accounting, this firm offers a rare balance: a culture that explicitly caps busy season hours, true remote/hybrid flexibility, and a structured path to partnership.

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

• Real Work-Life Balance: Busy season expectations are strictly managed and capped significantly lower than the industry average, complemented by reduced summer hours and Summer Fridays off.
• Advisory Focus: Move away from data entry. You will serve as a trusted consultant to closely held businesses, helping them navigate strategic growth, entity structuring, and proactive planning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage tax engagements for a diverse portfolio of privately held businesses, partnerships, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Review complex federal, corporate (S-Corp, C-Corp), and multi-state tax returns.
• Provide year-round strategic tax planning and consultative business advisory services.
• Mentor and develop a talented team of seniors and staff accountants, fostering a collaborative, low-turnover environment.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of progressive tax experience within a public accounting environment.
• Active CPA certification is strongly preferred (or concrete plans to finalize licensing).
• Strong technical background reviewing pass-through entities, partnerships, and corporate structures.
• A passion for client relationships and team mentorship.

Benefits & Perks:

• Profit-Sharing & Capital Growth Plan
• Comprehensive healthcare, generous PTO package, and parental leave.
• Structured internal leadership development and mentorship pathways.
