The Role: Tax Manager

As a Tax Manager, you will serve as a cornerstone of our firm's operations. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will oversee the intersection of tax strategy and financial reporting. You aren't just reviewing files; you are managing a book of business, mentoring a talented team, and acting as a primary advisor to diverse clients in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and professional services.

Key Responsibilities

Engagement Leadership & Review

• Technical Oversight: Lead and review complex tax engagements, including federal and multi-state returns for corporations, partnerships, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Financial Integrity: Review financial records, reconciliations, and tax provisions to ensure technical rigor and accuracy.
• Specialized Advisory: Manage complex partnership ownership changes, IRC Section 754 basis step-ups, and hedge fund reporting for wealthy clients.

Client Strategy & Relationship Management

• Trusted Advisor: Act as the primary point of contact for a diverse client base, offering proactive guidance on tax planning and system design.
• Proactive Planning: Identify opportunities for tax minimization and long-term financial success before the year-end close.
• Communication: Maintain professional, transparent communication with clients regarding project status, billing, and strategic shifts.

Operational & Team Growth

• Mentorship: Train and supervise staff and seniors, conducting performance evaluations and fostering a culture of accountability.
• Workflow Management: Oversee scheduling and project execution to ensure efficiency and meeting of all deadlines.
• Firm Development: Contribute to process improvements, technology adoption, and the expansion of the firm's business network.

What You'll Need

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting; Master's in Taxation or Accounting is highly preferred.
• Licensure: Active CPA license is required.
• Experience: 7+ years of progressive public accounting experience, with a proven track record in a supervisory or management capacity.
• Technical Depth: Expert-level knowledge of tax law, accounting methods, and financial reporting.
• Attributes: An entrepreneurial spirit, a desire to be responsive to client needs, and a commitment to integrity in every detail.

Why Join Us?

• Sophisticated Complexity, Boutique Feel: Handle high-level technical issues (like 754 step-ups and estate planning) without the burnout of a massive regional firm.
• A True Partnership: Our team members stay for years because we value their lives outside the office-whether that's spending time at the lake, supporting youth programs, or following college basketball.
• Impactful Leadership: Your voice will directly influence firm processes, technology choices, and growth strategies.

Are you ready to lead with clarity and confidence? We would love to discuss your future with our firm.
