The Opportunity

Are you a seasoned public accounting professional looking for a Tax Manager role where you're trusted to lead without micromanagement? This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-autonomy, no-billable-hours environment with a team that prioritizes both technical excellence and work-life balance.

Responsibilities
  • 70% review, 30% preparation of individual, business, and trust returns (1040, 1065, 1120, 1041)
  • Lead and manage a small but growing staff (you'll help hire your #2)
  • Maintain excellent client relationships with a hands-on approach
  • Deliver high-quality tax work without timesheet pressure
Ideal Background
  • 7+ years of public accounting experience
  • CPA or EA preferred (or in process, near completion)
  • Experience with CCH, QuickBooks, and BNA a plus
  • Strong communication, leadership, and review skills
Perks & Benefits
  • Base up to $160K + bonus + profit sharing
  • Company vehicle
  • Full health/dental + 401(k) + tuition assistance
  • Generous PTO + flexible scheduling
  • Half-day Fridays all summer
  • No billable hour requirements

This role offers real leadership, autonomy, and stability in an industry where that's increasingly rare. If you're ready to make a long-term move to a firm that respects your time and expertise, let's talk.
