Tax Manager

Ready CPA is a growing New Orleans CPA firm. We are expanding our tax practice and adding a Tax Manager to lead engagements, review staff work, and serve as a trusted advisor to an established book of business and individual clients. This is an in-office role with room to grow as the firm expands.

What you'll do

• Review and prepare individual, partnership, S-corp, C-corp, trust, and estate and non-profit returns prepared by staff; sign off on quality and accuracy.

• Manage a portfolio of clients as their primary point of contact — planning, projections, IRS/state notices, and year-round advisory.

• Lead tax planning and consulting engagements, including entity structuring and multi-state issues.

• Mentor, train, and develop tax staff and seniors; manage workflow and deadlines through busy season.

• Support a smooth transition and retention of clients joining the firm through a recent practice acquisition.

• Keep current on federal and Louisiana tax law and identify planning opportunities for clients.

What we're looking for

• CPA license (active) required.

• 5–7+ years of tax experience in public accounting, with at least 2 years reviewing returns and supervising staff.

• Strong technical knowledge across individual and business taxation; comfort with multi-entity and closely-held business clients.

• Excellent client-relationship and communication skills — this role is client-facing.

• Experience with ProSeries and GoSystem Tax RS required; QuickBooks a plus.

• Bachelor's in accounting; Master's in Taxation a plus.

What we offer

• Competitive salary (starting at $90,000, commensurate with experience) plus performance bonus.

• Room to grow as the firm expands, with advancement opportunities for strong performers.

• CPA license, dues, and CPE fully covered.

• Retirement plan with match and PTO.

• A close-knit team where you'll have real ownership of client relationships, not just a cog in a large machine.
