Their client base is wide: real estate partnerships, small and mid sized businesses, service companies, online sellers, tech companies, high net worth individuals, and trust and estate clients. Something worth knowing about this firm: they turn away more work than they take on. They would rather keep the client list manageable and do the work well than chase volume, and you can feel that in how the year is paced. Busy season runs January through April at roughly 55 hours a week. The rest of the year is relaxed, and people actually have their evenings and weekends back. The Role They are hiring a Tax Manager.
