Willis Johnson Wealth
Who We Are
Willis Johnson Wealth is a fast-paced wealth management firm where tax is not a back-office function, it’s a core part of the client experience. Our clients rely on us not only for technical accuracy, but for clarity, responsiveness, and trusted guidance across many moving pieces. We work quickly, manage a high volume of relationships, and hold a high bar for responsiveness and quality. The work is engaging, challenging, and never boring. If you love tax, enjoy solving complex problems, and genuinely like working with people, you’ll feel energized here.
If you prefer slow, highly siloed, or purely transactional tax work, this will not be the right fit. The Opportunity
We are seeking a Certified Public Accountant with 5–7 years of experience in public accounting who thrives in a relationship-driven, high-velocity environment and is energized by the technical side of tax. This role requires strong judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to move quickly while maintaining high standards. As a Tax Manager, you will manage both client relationships and internal team members. You will serve as a primary point of contact for a portfolio of clients, building trust, providing clarity, and delivering proactive tax guidance. This role offers significant opportunity to advise clients directly, translating complex tax concepts into practical strategies that meaningfully impact their financial lives. If you enjoy staying current on tax law and digging into complex tax research, you will find this role especially rewarding. You’ll have the opportunity to work with an international clientele and engage in U.S. reporting of foreign assets, adding depth and variety to your work beyond traditional domestic tax compliance.
You will play a key role in tax compliance, review, and extensive tax planning, working closely with our wealth management team to deliver proactive, integrated advice. This role will primarily focus on tax review, planning, and client advisory work, with some preparation responsibilities during peak periods. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to continuously learn, apply that knowledge in real time, and be part of a collaborative advisory team, not just execute returns. Qualifications
