Job Description

This is a remote position.

About the Firm

Our client is a $350M registered investment advisory (RIA) firm based in Minnesota, built around a simple but powerful philosophy: clients are owned by the firm, not any single partner. The team operates with genuine cohesion, high accountability, and a shared commitment to exceptional client service. Everyone has a voice. Heads are down getting the work done, but there's real camaraderie and a lightheartedness that makes the culture stand out. This is a team that works hard and genuinely enjoys working together — the kind of culture that's easy to talk about but rare to actually find.

Their client base centers on equity compensation holders, founders, self-employed business owners, and high-net-worth individuals, including retirees navigating sudden wealth events and inheritance situations. The firm has built strong tax strategy and planning capabilities into its advisory practice and is now ready to bring tax compliance fully in-house as a natural extension of that offering.

About the Role

Our client is looking for a competent, dependable tax professional to own the compliance function and serve as a reliable tax resource across the client base. The firm has the client relationships and planning infrastructure in place — the right person comes in, owns the compliance function, supports the advisory team where needed, and grows into the role over time. Flexible hours are on the table for the right candidate, making this a strong fit for someone who wants quality work without the grind of a traditional public accounting schedule. If you're tired of the hours, the pressure, and the churn of a large firm environment, this is a different kind of opportunity.
