Our client, a growing public accounting firm, is seeking a Standalone Tax Manager to lead and expand its tax practice. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced tax professional who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and is excited to play a key role in building a growing business. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats, developing trusted client relationships, and contributing to the strategic direction of a practice—not just preparing returns.

• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and introduce additional services.

• Collaborate with firm leadership to grow and shape the tax practice.

• Research and resolve complex tax issues while ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local tax regulations.

• Review tax returns and provide technical guidance and mentorship as the practice grows.

• Stay current on changing tax laws and communicate their impact to clients.

• Help establish and improve tax processes, workflows, and best practices.

 

What We're Looking For

• CPA license preferred.

• 5+ years of public accounting tax experience.

• Strong technical knowledge of individual, business, and partnership taxation.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• Entrepreneurial mindset with a genuine interest in helping grow a business.

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of client service.

• Self-motivated, collaborative, and comfortable working independently.

 

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional Tax Manager role. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping build and shape a growing practice while working closely with leadership. If you're looking for a position where your ideas are valued, your relationships matter, and your contributions directly influence the firm's success, we'd love to hear from you.
