We're seeking a Tax Director to lead and expand our flow-through tax practice, working primarily with complex partnerships, LLCs, and S-corporations. This is a true career-defining role for a tax professional who wants more than a title—someone motivated by ownership, influence, and significant long-term earning potential.

This position comes with a clear, achievable path to Partner, including meaningful profit sharing. You will inherit an existing book of business while being expected—and supported—to grow your own client base. This role is ideal for a current or former Big 4 tax leader who wants to apply their technical depth in a more entrepreneurial, client-centric environment.

Responsibilities:

1. Serve as a trusted advisor to owners of complex flow-through entities across industries such as manufacturing, distribution, real estate, construction, agriculture, and professional services.
2. Lead tax planning and compliance for partnerships, multi-entity structures, and high-income pass-through businesses.
3. Manage and grow an existing portfolio of clients while actively developing new client relationships.
4. Support a wide variety of clients in industries such as: Real Estate, Construction, Tech, Manufacturing, Retail, Professional Services, and more.
5. Play a key role in firm leadership, mentoring managers and senior staff, and shaping the future of the tax practice.
6. Collaborate closely with audit, consulting, and transaction teams to deliver integrated client solutions.

Qualifications:

1. Eight or more years of progressive tax experience, with deep expertise in flow-through entities.
2. Current or prior Big 4 experience strongly preferred.
3. Proven ability to manage client relationships and generate new business.
4. Experience advising privately held businesses and their owners.
5. Entrepreneurial mindset with a long-term vision toward partnership and firm leadership.
6. CPA license required
7. Master's degree in Taxation strongly preferred

This role is designed for someone ready to trade the high cost of living and stress of a major market for a smarter lifestyle—without sacrificing earning potential.

Sacramento offers:

• A family-friendly environment with excellent neighborhoods, schools, and quality of life
• Significantly lower cost of living compared to larger, coastal cities
• Short commutes, access to outdoor recreation, and proximity to Napa, Tahoe, and the coast
• The ability to maintain big-city compensation and upside while building real wealth faster
• We offer relocation assistance to make the transition seamless
