Our boutique, high-performing CPA firm is searching for a Tax Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment — someone who owns client relationships, delivers excellence, and develops a winning team.

• Advise with Authority: Be the trusted advisor to business owners and high-net-worth clients, providing proactive, strategic tax guidance.
• Manage and Mentor: Supervise and inspire tax staff to produce their best work. You hold high standards and lead by example.

• Utilize Top Tools: Work efficiently in Lacerte for tax preparation and QuickBooks (Desktop and Online) for reconciliation and review.

• Proven ability to lead, problem-solve, and elevate performance

What Sets You Apart

• You’re a strategic thinker who sees beyond the numbers.
• You’re a natural leader — firm, fair, and growth-minded.
• You can command a client meeting with credibility and presence.
• You don’t need micromanagement — you bring initiative and ownership.
• You’re energized by collaboration, not politics.

• Annual performance-based bonus
• Full benefits package: health, dental, vision, 401(k)
