Senior Tax Manager

$155k - $180k

Distinct | North America

Tax Director | Experienced Managers and Senior Managers considered

Hybrid | $155,000 to $180,000

CPA or EA | Opportunity to progress to Partner

Apply now, read the job details by scrolling down Double check you have the necessary skills before sending an application.

If you're ready to take work off a Partner's desk, you want to know where that responsibility could take you.

At this independent CPA firm of around 25 to 50 people, one of the Partners is retiring. They're looking for an experienced Manager, Senior Manager or Director who can step in, take ownership of reviewing tax work and start managing established client relationships as that Partner transitions out.

You'll need to be confident technically and comfortable advising clients directly. In return, you'll work closely with the Partners, have a say in the practice and a clear opportunity to progress towards Partnership yourself.

Your current title matters less than your ability to take that on.

The firm has grown through reputation and referrals, with no private equity behind it. It's small enough to know everyone and see the impact of your work.

You'll review tax work across closely held businesses, HNW individuals, trusts and estates, including real estate and construction clients. The firm also carries out business valuation work, adding another dimension to the practice.

You'll also manage and, develop colleagues and bring strong technical knowledge to client conversations. A CPA or EA is important so you can deal directly with tax agencies, and an MST would be valuable too.

Progression won't look identical for everyone. Some people move faster than others, depending on their experience and how they develop. The firm wants people to progress and is open to recognising when someone is ready to take on more.

You'll likely bring around ten or more years of public accounting experience, including reviewing tax work, managing client relationships and developing staff. Experience in a smaller or mid sized firm would fit well, alongside a clear interest in progressing towards Partnership.

If you are just browsing the job boards and have not dusted off that resume yet, that is not a problem, you can give me a call first. My number is View phone number on financialjobbank.com.
