  • Full benefits package
What You’ll Own
  • Lead and grow a manufacturing-focused tax practice
  • Manage and expand relationships with middle‑market clients
  • Provide strategic tax planning (not just compliance)
  • Mentor and develop tax staff and managers
  • Drive business development in the Northeast Ohio market
  • CPA with 10–15+ years in public accounting
  • Strong experience with:
  • Pass‑through entities (S‑corps, partnerships)

  • High‑net‑worth clients
  • Proven ability (or strong interest) in building client relationships
  • Background in regional or Big 4 firm preferred
Who This Is Perfect For
