Senior Tax Manager

Job Description

Senior Tax Manager | Coral Gables, FL | Hybrid

Sometimes the hardest part about leaving a firm isn't the job itself. It's leaving the people you've grown to love working with.

Last year, I helped a Tax Director join this independent CPA firm in Coral Gables. But they almost didn't make the move.

They liked their colleagues, had built strong relationships and weren't convinced they'd find that same culture elsewhere.

The problem? They were working 60+ hours during busy season, had very little flexibility and were expected in the office 5 days a week.

Eventually, they decided to take the chance.

A few months ago, I received a text thanking me for encouraging them to make the move. They told me how glad they were that they'd done it.

And what stood out most wasn't just the improved work life balance.

They actually love the culture more than at their previous firm.

They feel appreciated, enjoy the complex and varied clients they're working with and, perhaps most importantly, they're having fun again.

There's always something happening in the office, people genuinely enjoy spending time together and there are plenty of opportunities to socialise outside of work too.

They're now working from home 3 days a week, have flexibility around school drop offs and pick ups, and no longer feel like they have to choose between being a good parent and being good at their job.

They described it as refreshing to enjoy Public Accounting again.

Turns out they didn't need to leave the profession they loved. They just needed to find the right firm, and that's exactly why I'm excited to be recruiting for them again.

This Coral Gables firm is now looking for a Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager to join their team.

They're large enough to offer interesting, complex client work and genuine progression, but small enough that the Partners know their people and actually care about keeping them.

They're also committed to remaining independent, with no Private Equity involvement or plans to sell.

What can you expect?

Busy season typically runs between 45 and 55 hours, you'll have the option to work from home up to 3 days a week, flexible hours, generous PTO, additional days off throughout the year and a Christmas and New Year shutdown.

You'll also receive twice yearly bonuses, a 401(k) match, health, dental and vision insurance, life and disability cover, referral and new business incentives, plus an annual weekend away with the firm.

They're looking for an experienced Senior Tax Manager with a strong generalist tax background in Public Accounting who enjoys client relationships, technical work and being part of a collaborative team.

If you're in a firm where you love the people but the hours and lack of flexibility are making you question your future, I'd encourage you to have a conversation.

You might be surprised how much better things can be without having to compromise on the parts of your job you already enjoy.
