Tax Manager

Role Overview

As a Tax Manager, you will serve as a high-level technical expert and a key strategic advisor to our clients. You will lead the tax lifecycle—from managing complex compliance for diverse entities to identifying sophisticated tax-planning opportunities. This role balances technical "in-the-trenches" review with high-level team leadership and client relationship management.

Key Areas of Responsibility
1. Technical Compliance & Quality Control
  • Final Review: Review and approve federal/state returns for Individuals, Partnerships, S-Corps, C-Corps, Trusts, and Estates.
  • Complex Issues: Manage multi-state filings, PTE elections, cost-segregation, and basis analysis.
  • Audit Defense: Oversee responses to IRS/state notices and lead clients through tax audits and examinations.
  • Tax Research: Interpret complex tax laws and draft technical memoranda for internal and client use.
2. Strategic Planning & Advisory
  • Tax Optimization: Develop strategies to minimize liability, including 1031 exchanges and restructuring.
  • Business Lifecycle: Advise on entity selection, M&A transactions, and succession planning.
  • Collaborative Consulting: Work alongside attorneys and financial advisors to provide holistic wealth and business solutions.
3. Team Leadership & Practice Management
  • Mentorship: Supervise and develop Senior Associates and Interns through consistent, constructive feedback.
  • Workflow Oversight: Manage multiple engagements simultaneously, ensuring projects stay on budget and meet all deadlines.
  • Process Innovation: Improve internal templates and procedures to increase firm-wide efficiency.
Candidate Profile

Required Qualifications:
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting.
  • Certification: Active CPA license (or CPA-eligible).
  • Experience: 3–8 years in public accounting with a focus on tax.
  • Software: High proficiency in professional tax software (
    Lacerte preferred).
Preferred

Skills:
  • Experience with multi-entity structures and high-net-worth individuals.
  • Strong background in PTE taxes and multi-state compliance.
  • Proven ability to translate complex tax concepts for non-technical clients.
Work Environment & Expectations
  • Location: In-office professional environment.
  • Seasonal Demand: Extended hours are expected during peak tax filing seasons.
  • Growth: A commitment to continuous professional education (CPE) to stay ahead of tax law changes.

Pay Details: $ to $ per year
