Build a Practice. Influence a Firm. Become an Owner.

An established Cleveland CPA firm is seeking an experienced Tax Partner to help lead and expand one of Northeast Ohio's premier middle-market tax practices. You do not need to bring an existing book of business to be considered.

This is more than a leadership role—it's an opportunity to work alongside the Managing Partner, inherit an established client base, expand a thriving manufacturing practice, and play a key role in shaping the future of the firm.

Whether you're already a Partner seeking greater autonomy or a Tax Director ready to step into ownership, this opportunity offers a genuine path to long-term success.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

\n
• Immediate leadership role within an established tax practice
\n
• Step into an established client base while having the opportunity to expand your own portfolio and grow the firm's manufacturing tax practice.
\n
• Strong manufacturing and middle-market client base
\n
• Direct partnership with firm leadership
\n
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture
\n
• Competitive compensation, significant signing bonus, and equity participation
\n

Compensation & Partnership

\n
• Competitive executive compensation
\n
• Performance-based incentive opportunity
\n
• Equity participation or accelerated path to equity
\n
• Significant signing bonus
\n
• Comprehensive benefits
\n

What You'll Lead

\n
• Manage and grow a successful manufacturing-focused tax practice
\n
• Serve as a trusted advisor to privately held businesses
\n
• Review complex tax engagements involving corporations, partnerships, trusts, nonprofits, and high-net-worth individuals
\n
• Provide advanced tax planning and technical guidance
\n
• Mentor and develop future tax leaders
\n
• Expand client relationships and support strategic business development throughout Northeast Ohio
\n

What We're Looking For

\n
• Active CPA
\n
• 7+ years in public accounting
\n
• Strong experience with privately held businesses
\n
• Expertise in pass-through entities, S-Corporations, partnerships, and high-net-worth clients
\n
• Demonstrated client relationship and business development skills
\n
• Collaborative leadership style with experience mentoring tax professionals
\n

Experience with a regional or Big Four accounting firm is highly preferred.

Who This Role Is Ideal For

\n
• Tax Directors ready to become Partner
\n
• Existing Partners seeking greater influence and autonomy
\n
• Senior tax leaders looking to build and grow a practice within a respected regional firm
