Shape strategies. Simplify complexity. Empower financial confidence.
At Savant, we believe taxes shouldn’t just be managed — they should be mastered as part of an integrated financial strategy.

Our Tax Strategy Advisors are trusted partners to high‑net‑worth individuals, families, and business owners who rely on us to help them see the full picture — and keep more of what they’ve earned.

If you’re an experienced tax professional who thrives on solving complex challenges and building meaningful client relationships, this is your opportunity to make a true impact while working alongside some of the brightest minds in wealth management.

What You’ll Do

You’ll serve as the go‑to tax expert for a select group of sophisticated clients (typically $5M–$10M AUM), helping them align their financial goals with smart, forward‑thinking tax strategies.

In This Role, You Will
  • Develop and implement proactive tax planning strategies that minimize liability and support clients’ long‑term objectives.
  • Review and analyze complex tax situations, turning intricate data into clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Collaborate with advisors, financial planners, and other specialists to deliver integrated, holistic client experiences.
  • Prepare and review advanced tax returns (individual, trust, partnership, foundation, corporate) to ensure accuracy and compliance.
  • Guide clients through IRS and state inquiries, crafting and reviewing responses that resolve issues efficiently.
  • Contribute to firm‑wide learning and development, mentoring team members and sharing expertise across the organization.
  • Educate and inspire others by supporting client workshops, advisor trainings, and thought‑leadership initiatives.
Who You Are

You’re a seasoned tax professional who’s not satisfied just checking boxes — you want to advise, influence, and innovate. You love digging into the details but never lose sight of the bigger picture. Clients trust your guidance because you bring clarity, insight, and genuine care to every interaction.

What You’ll Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration (required)
  • Active CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA) designation (required)
  • 6+ years of experience in tax planning and advisory for high‑net‑worth clients
  • Strong understanding of individual, trust, and business taxation
  • Familiarity with Thomson Reuters Ultra Tax, Go File Room , and Practice CS preferred
  • Experience using BNA, Planner CS, or Holistiplan for advanced planning
  • Exceptional communication, analytical, and problem‑solving skills
  • Collaborative mindset — you thrive working in partnership with other experts
  • A commitment to excellence, integrity, and continuous improvement

Master’s in Taxation and/or CFP® certification a plus.
