Tax Manager

A bit about us:

We are a full-service, independently owned regional CPA firm with approximately 100 professionals and over 40 years of history serving a diverse, complex client base. We have built a reputation as the largest local public accounting firm in our region, and we have done it by going beyond traditional CPA functions to act as true advisors and partners to our clients.

Our practice is centered on business taxation, primarily pass-through entities, with additional work in HNWI, Trusts & Estates, and assurance. Our client base spans real estate, construction, manufacturing, professional services, energy, agriculture, communications, and more. We have been recognized on Construction Executive's Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms list six consecutive years running. That reflects genuine depth in an industry where complexity is the norm.

We are growing, profitable, and selective about who joins the team. Average tenure across the firm is seven years, a number that reflects a culture where people actually want to stay.

This role is fully remote with quarterly in-person meetups in Sacramento for team connection and collaboration.

Why join us?

Why Join Us
Real estate and construction at an institutional level.
This is not mom-and-pop rentals or small residential work. Our RE and construction clients include large syndicated deals with multiple partners, major general contractors, and sophisticated developers. If you have worked on complex, multi-entity partnership structures and want to go deeper rather than broader, this is the right seat.

A firm that invests in its people.
Our partners are not just leaders in title. Growth here is earned and recognized. One example: a partner on our team joined 14 years ago and made partner 3 years ago. That kind of trajectory is the norm here, not the exception.
Tenure that speaks for itself.
A 7-year average tenure in public accounting is rare. It tells you that people who join this firm tend to stay because the work is interesting, the culture is supportive, and the firm takes care of its people financially.
Profitable firm, competitive comp.

Bonus eligible
Fully remote with quarterly Sacramento meetups for in-person connection

Recognized expertise.
Six consecutive years on Construction Executive's Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms list. Our clients expect sophisticated advice and our team delivers it.
