Senior Tax Manager
Construction Tax | Business Advisory | Leadership Opportunity | Path to Principal
Compensation: $160,000 - $220,000+ Base + Performance Bonus Opportunities
Location: Chandler, Arizona (Phoenix Metro Area)
Schedule: Hybrid / Remote Flexibility Available
Our client, a highly respected CPA and advisory firm serving construction companies, real estate organizations, and closely held businesses, is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Manager to join its leadership team.
This is more than a traditional tax management role.
It's an opportunity to become a trusted advisor to construction business owners, real estate investors, and entrepreneurial companies while helping lead a growing practice known for technical expertise, exceptional client service, and a culture that supports both professional growth and personal balance.
The firm has built a strong reputation by helping business owners navigate complex tax and financial challenges, improve profitability, maximize bonding capacity, and make informed strategic decisions. Leadership places a strong emphasis on long-term client relationships, practical business advice, and developing future leaders from within.
If you're looking for a role that combines sophisticated tax planning, client advisory work, leadership responsibility, and a realistic path toward Principal or Partner, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
