Tax Manager

Job Title: Tax Manager Location: Nashville, TN (On Site) Industry: Real Estate Compensation: $140K to $160K base plus annual performance bonus The Opportunity Seeking a Tax Manager on behalf of a well established, growing real estate organization. You will be the company's tax expert, owning partnership tax from the calculations through review and serving as the go to resource when leadership weighs new markets and new ventures. If you are a partnership tax pro who wants to own the whole picture instead of one slice of it, this is the seat. Why This Role Stands Out • Full ownership. You run tax for the organization end to end, with the technical work kept in house and only return prep handled outside. • A seat at the table. Your research directly shapes decisions on expansion, new partnerships, and tax savings opportunities. • Strong foundation. The function is well organized, so you can focus on building momentum rather than starting from zero. • Real balance. Busy season is concentrated in late winter, and hours are very reasonable the rest of the year. • Growth trajectory. Join a respected organization with a strong leadership team and continued expansion ahead. What You Will Own • Prepare and review book to tax calculations across a portfolio of partnership entities • Track partner capital and basis for investors across multiple ownership structures • Manage the outside preparers handling federal and state return filings, and review their work • Monitor multi state filing obligations as the footprint grows into new markets • Research the tax impact of new ventures, structures, and locations and present clear recommendations • Identify planning opportunities and stay ahead of regulatory changes • Partner with the accounting team on tax accounting, controls, and property tax payments • Serve as the point of contact for auditors on tax matters What You Need • 4 to 8+ years of direct tax experience in public accounting or industry • Hands on Form 1065 preparation and review experience • Working knowledge of partnership allocations, capital accounts, and basis tracking • Federal and multi state income tax compliance experience • Comfortable as a standalone tax lead who both does the work and owns the outcome • Strong research skills and the ability to explain conclusions to non tax leaders What Sets You Apart • CPA • Real estate, construction, or development tax experience is a plus • Experience with multi entity structures and special purpose entities • Background managing outsourced tax providers • Exposure to tax planning for new partnerships or joint ventures Good to Know • Fully in office role in Nashville • Peak season runs late January through mid March About Synergy Search Synergy Search is a finance and accounting executive search firm where every recruiter has an accounting background.
