Tax Manager

Looking for a tax role where advisory is more than a buzzword? Most firms talk about advisory. In reality, the planning work often stays with the Partners, the consulting projects go to someone more senior, and the Tax Manager ends up spending most of the year focused on compliance. This opportunity is different. This independent CPA firm in Grapevine TX has built strong client relationships with businesses that want ongoing advice, not just completed tax returns. As a result, tax planning and consulting aren't occasional extras. They're a genuine part of the role. You'll work directly with clients on planning opportunities, contribute to strategic conversations throughout the year, and help clients make informed decisions before they act, not simply report on what has already happened. Alongside the advisory work, you'll manage a varied portfolio of compliance engagements, giving you the balance of technical tax and client facing work that many Tax Managers are looking for but don't always find. The package reflects the level of responsibility, with a salary of up to $160,000 , a 20% bonus , and hybrid working built around outcomes rather than time spent at a desk. Joining over the summer also gives you time to get to know the clients, the team, and the firm's way of working before the September and October deadlines arrive. Why this opportunity stands out A meaningful mix of tax compliance, planning, and consulting throughout the year. Clients who actively seek advice, creating regular advisory opportunities. Hybrid working based on trust, flexibility, and results. Direct access to the firm's leadership team. Salary up to $160,000 plus a 20% bonus . What you’ll be doing Manage and review tax returns for individuals and privately owned businesses. Support clients with year round tax planning and advisory work. Contribute to consulting projects beyond routine compliance. Build trusted relationships as a key point of contact for clients. Review work and mentor junior team members. Work closely with firm leadership on client strategy and service delivery. Manage deadlines while maintaining high technical standards. What we’re looking for Public accounting tax experience at Senior, Supervisor, or Manager level. Strong technical knowledge across core tax compliance. Confidence building trusted relationships with clients. Someone who enjoys combining technical expertise with commercial thinking. The ability to balance compliance work with advisory conversations.
