Are you excited about becoming a senior-level leader of a next-generation accounting and tax firm that is backed with significant capital for growth?

Would you like to join a firm on the ground level and help build it into a thriving growth company?

Then this may be the opportunity for you!

OVERVIEW We are a rapidly growing accounting and tax firm that exclusively serves small-to-mid sized business clients via three offices across the country. With significant capital raised for growth, and a strong industry reputation, we have shifted into our next phase of expansion and will be opening a new office in Phoenix, Arizona.

We are actively recruiting a talented leader to join the team as the Tax Manager.

You will take the lead in key personnel decisions, including hiring and cultivating talent. You will work with small business owners to offer meaningful tax advice for their specific and sometimes complex situations, while managing a growing volume of returns. You will be part of a high energy, highly collaborative entrepreneurial environment, where your desire to build something special and to grow a firm is just as important as your technical ability!

WHAT YOU HAVE • Minimum of 5 years recent experience in an accounting firm working with small business clients, including having a significant amount of client facing interactions

• Extensive technical tax experience in high production volume environments and advising on complex tax situations that small-to-mid sized business owners face • Minimum of 2 years recent experience in managing small to mid-sized teams • CPA designation required • Excellent people-management and communication skills, with experience in hiring, training, motivating, and developing staff • Collaborative, can-do attitude with a passion for building more efficient processes and teams • Must be experienced with Lacerte or UltraTax, QuickBooks, and MS Office.

WHAT YOU’LL GET The firm will reward your talents with an attractive salary plus bonus. Excellent opportunities to share in the firm’s financial success as a partner exist for someone who will grow with us. You will also receive a competitive benefits package that includes Simple IRA, paid holidays & vacation. This position will be hybrid (approximately 50% in-office, 50% remote) with benefits such as flexible scheduling, and paid continuing education.
