Tax Manager

Tax Manager | Coral Gables | Hybrid 2 or 3 days in office. A "People First" CPA Firm - but what does that actually mean? It means you can have a successful career in Public Accounting without your entire life revolving around tax deadlines. School drop offs and pick ups without anyone batting an eyelid. A busy season that doesn't completely take over your life. Partners who trust you to get the job done without watching the clock, and a firm that understands there's more to life than accounting. This is a mid sized Miami CPA firm that's managed to create something surprisingly rare in Public Accounting. A place where people genuinely enjoy working, feel valued and aren't made to feel guilty for having a life outside the office. There's no Private Equity involvement, and there never will be, the Partners are committed to keeping the firm independent and protecting the culture they've built. And when they say they look after their people, they mean it. I know this firsthand because I helped a Tax Director join the firm earlier this year, and their feedback since has been fantastic. They didn't work more than 50 hours a week during tax season, work from home three days a week and, perhaps most importantly, haven't missed a single one of their son's soccer practices since joining. That probably tells you more about the culture than any benefits brochure ever could. Busy season typically sits around 45 to 50 hours, with 55 being the maximum rather than the expectation. You'll have a flexible hybrid schedule, generous PTO, twice yearly bonuses and additional days off around April 15th, July 4th and Thanksgiving, plus a full Christmas and New Year shutdown. There's also health, dental and vision insurance, a 401k match, life insurance, long term disability cover, new business commissions and referral bonuses. As Tax Manager, you'll work across a varied client base, reviewing returns, managing engagements, developing staff and building relationships with clients who genuinely value your advice. They're looking for someone with a strong Public Accounting background who enjoys being a tax generalist rather than spending their entire career in one niche. You'll have plenty of autonomy, direct access to the Partners and room to keep progressing. And you don't need to be a CPA to be considered. If you still enjoy Public Accounting but have started to wonder whether the long hours, constant pressure and missed moments outside of work are simply part of the deal, this might be the firm that changes your mind.
