The Opportunity:

We're seeking a Tax Director to lead and expand our flow‑through tax practice, working primarily with complex partnerships, LLCs, and S‑corporations. This is a true career‑defining role for a tax professional who wants more than a title—someone motivated by ownership, influence, and significant long‑term earning potential.

This position comes with a clear, achievable path to Partner, including meaningful profit sharing. You will inherit an existing book of business while being expected—and supported—to grow your own client base. This role is ideal for a current or former Big 4 tax leader who wants to apply their technical depth in a more entrepreneurial, client‑centric environment.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to owners of complex flow‑through entities across industries such as manufacturing, distribution, real estate, construction, agriculture, and professional services.
• Lead tax planning and compliance for partnerships, multi‑entity structures, and high‑income pass‑through businesses.
• Manage and grow an existing portfolio of clients while actively developing new client relationships.
• Support a wide variety of clients in industries such as: Real Estate, Construction, Tech, Manufacturing, Retail, Professional Services, and more.
• Play a key role in firm leadership, mentoring managers and senior staff, and shaping the future of the tax practice.
• Collaborate closely with audit, consulting, and transaction teams to deliver integrated client solutions.

Qualifications

• Eight or more years of progressive tax experience, with deep expertise in flow‑through entities.
• Current or prior Big 4 experience strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage client relationships and generate new business.
• Experience advising privately held businesses and their owners.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a long‑term vision toward partnership and firm leadership.
• CPA license required
• Master's degree in Taxation strongly preferred

Why Sacramento?

This role is designed for someone ready to trade the high cost of living and stress of a major market for a smarter lifestyle—without sacrificing earning potential.

Sacramento offers

• A family‑friendly environment with excellent neighborhoods, schools, and quality of life
• Significantly lower cost of living compared to larger, coastal cities
• Short commutes, access to outdoor recreation, and proximity to Napa, Tahoe, and the coast
• The ability to maintain big‑city compensation and upside while building real wealth faster
• We offer relocation assistance to make the transition seamless
