Job Description

Senior Tax Manager / Director Tax Advisory | Business Consulting | Client Relationships | Leadership Opportunity

Compensation: $185,000 Base + Significant Annual Bonus Potential

Location: Boise, Idaho
Schedule: Flexible Hybrid

Our client, a highly respected CPA and advisory firm with a strong reputation throughout the Treasure Valley, is seeking a Senior Tax Manager / Director to join its leadership team.

This is more than a traditional tax leadership role.

It's an opportunity to become a trusted advisor to business owners, families, and entrepreneurs while helping lead a firm built around relationships, flexibility, professional development, and exceptional client service.

For more than 25 years, the firm has helped clients thrive through tax planning, business advisory services, financial statement support, and estate planning solutions. Just as importantly, they have built a culture focused on helping their people thrive as well.

Their philosophy is simple:

• Honor relationships with gratitude and respect
• Be authentic and responsive
• Invest in people and professional growth
• Build a great life, not just a great career

If you're looking to move away from bureaucracy and toward a firm where your voice matters, your relationships matter, and your impact is visible, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $185,000 base salary
• Significant annual bonus opportunities
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• Comp time program with payout opportunities twice annually
• Established and respected Boise CPA firm
• Strong advisory and consulting focus
• Direct access to ownership and leadership
• Significant client-facing responsibilities
• Leadership role with influence on the future of the practice
• Family-oriented culture
• Exceptional flexibility outside of busy season
• Long-term career growth opportunities

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Many senior tax leadership positions focus primarily on compliance, production, and managing deadlines.

This opportunity is much more relationship-driven and advisory-focused. You'll work directly with business owners and families, provide strategic guidance, help shape the future of the firm, and join a culture that genuinely invests in its people.

The combination of compensation, bonus potential, flexibility, leadership influence, and firm culture makes this one of the more attractive senior-level public accounting opportunities in the Boise market.

If you're a Senior Tax Manager, Tax Director, Partner-track professional, or experienced CPA seeking greater flexibility, stronger client relationships, and a meaningful leadership opportunity, we'd love to speak with you confidentially.
