Tax Administrative Manager

We are on a mission to change the accounting industry by creating the premier people-first firm where strong and talented team members will thrive. We are innovators of tax services and firm culture with work-life integration. We accomplish this by using the best technology and automation on the market, offering unlimited vacation and sick days, fostering an autonomous work environment, providing ongoing training, and offering health insurance and 401(k) matching.

As an Administrative Manager at our firm, you oversee a team of Administrators who provide administrative support to our accounting, tax, and advisory teams and deliver high-quality, timely client deliverables. This role maintains SOPs, leads the annual systems roll-forward for admin-owned tools, and serves as the primary point of contact for tax admin staff and service line teams on processing and onboarding coordination.

We are a 100% virtual CPA firm, with our team located across the United States. As a real estate niche-focused firm, we serve Real Estate Investors, Syndicates, and Fund Managers. Our team has a passion for real estate and often owns investment properties themselves.

Team members who thrive at our firm have excellent time management skills, are self-starters, adaptable, take pride in their work, and work well in an autonomous environment.
