Tax Manager

Job Description

What if your next move allowed you to help shape a firm - not just manage a workload?

We're conducting a confidential search for an experienced Tax Manager who is ready to expand beyond compliance into leadership, client advisory, practice growth, and long-term career advancement.

This is an opportunity to join one of Ohio's leading independent accounting and advisory firms, where technical excellence is matched by a genuine commitment to developing people, building lasting client relationships, and empowering growth.

If you're looking for a place where your leadership matters as much as your technical expertise, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You'll have the opportunity to:

\n
• Advise privately held businesses on complex tax matters.
\n
• Lead sophisticated client engagements across multiple industries.
\n
• Mentor and develop the next generation of tax professionals.
\n
• Partner directly with Directors and Principals.
\n
• Expand into planning, consulting, and business development.
\n
• Build a clear path toward Director and future ownership opportunities.
\n

This is a firm that believes leadership starts well before the Partner level.

What You'll Do

Lead Complex Client Engagements - Manage corporate, partnership, trust, and individual tax engagements from planning through delivery while ensuring technical excellence, exceptional client service, and profitable execution.

Develop High-Performing Teams - Coach, mentor, and develop Senior Associates, Staff, and Interns while fostering a collaborative environment built on accountability, continuous learning, and professional growth.

Become a Trusted Advisor - Help business owners navigate complex tax and financial decisions by providing proactive planning, practical recommendations, and long-term strategic guidance.

Strengthen the Practice - Improve engagement profitability, identify new business opportunities, support firm initiatives, and contribute to the continued growth of a nationally respected accounting and advisory practice.

What We're Looking For

\n
• CPA required.
\n
• Approximately 5–8+ years of public accounting tax experience.
\n
• Strong technical knowledge of federal, state, and local taxation.
\n
• Experience managing corporate, partnership, trust, and individual tax engagements.
\n
• Proven ability to coach and develop professionals.
\n
• Exceptional communication and client relationship skills.
\n
• Desire to participate in practice growth and leadership.
\n
• Commitment to continuous learning and embracing emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tax tools.
\n

Why Professionals Build Their Careers Here

This firm is intentionally built around people - not bureaucracy.

You'll find:

\n
• Direct access to firm leadership.
\n
• A collaborative culture where ideas are encouraged.
\n
• A dedicated Performance Manager invested in your growth.
\n
• Structured onboarding and leadership development.
\n
• Meaningful client relationships.
\n
• Hybrid work flexibility.
\n
• A culture committed to community involvement and inclusion.
\n
• A clear and transparent path toward Director and beyond.
\n

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, leadership capability, and technical expertise.

In addition to a highly competitive salary, you'll enjoy:

\n
• Annual performance bonus.
\n
• CPA and continuing education support.
\n
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
\n
• Retirement plan with employer contributions and profit sharing.
