Senior Tax Manager

Senior Tax Manager/ Director | Wooster, Ohio | Mid-sized CPA Firm

There are 2 ways to become an important person in an accounting firm.

Spend 15 years waiting for somebody to give you the opportunity.

Or join when they are actually looking for the next person to step up.

I am working with a growing public accounting firm in Wooster that is recruiting for the next generation of leadership in this office.

They are deliberately keeping the level flexible.

If you are an established Senior Manager ready for more, they can hire at that level, with compensation from $130,000 to $170,000.

If you are already operating at a more senior leadership level, compensation is $200,000 to $250,000.

Either way, they are not looking for somebody to simply inherit a collection of tax returns.

They want a CPA who can own client relationships, lead and develop people, handle complex engagements and become increasingly involved in business development and the wider direction of the practice.

At the more senior end, that means originating work, expanding client relationships and having a genuine voice in practice strategy and growth.

The firm has recently taken on investment and is growing organically and through acquisitions, with further investment going into people, technology and infrastructure.

So the timing isn't accidental.

They are thinking about who leads this office next.

For the right person considering a move to Wooster, partial relocation assistance can also be offered.

Here is the truth about applications.

Many people treat them like a checklist, where missing 1 item means instant rejection. That is not how this works.

Do not overthink it. The worst outcome is a friendly conversation about your career. The best outcome is where it gets exciting.
