Job Description

Tax Manager Public Accounting $140K-$170K

A well-established public accounting firm is expanding and looking to add several Tax Managers to their team. These are newly created roles driven by growth - not backfills.

What sets this firm apart: leadership is a mix of partners who've come from both Big 4 and boutique firms, so you get sophisticated technical resources alongside a genuinely collegial, low-politics culture. They hire for fit as much as for technical skill, and they invest in people through structured mentorship and a formal leadership development program.

The firm also takes work-life balance seriously in practice, not just in messaging - flexible remote work, no expectation of weekend email, and a culture that actually encourages people to step away during the day. Remote social hours and workout classes help keep the team connected.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and manage complex tax compliance engagements, ensuring quality, budget, and deadlines are met
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, resolving issues promptly and professionally
  • Manage client and staff expectations through clear, proactive communication
  • Mentor and advise associates on tax and accounting matters
  • Contribute to firm-wide initiatives and take on internal leadership opportunities
  • Plan, staff, and schedule engagements across teams and clients

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of experience in corporate, partnership, and individual tax compliance
  • CPA license (required)
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting; Master's a plus
  • Strong tax research and analytical skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment


Compensation: $140,000-$170,000, commensurate with experience
