Tax Senior Manager

This is a remote position.

About the Firm

We are representing a rapidly growing boutique CPA practice that provides tax compliance, planning, and advisory services to individuals and businesses. The firm runs a fully paperless, technology-forward environment and places a strong emphasis on efficiency, analytical rigor, and long-term client relationships. Leadership is growing the senior bench as the practice expands, which creates real room for an experienced tax leader to make an impact.

About the Role

Our client is seeking a seasoned Tax Senior Manager who can operate as a true senior leader in the practice. This person will own client relationships from first conversation through ongoing service, sign returns, and serve as a mix of first and final reviewer on high-complexity individual returns and select business returns. The role also carries a meaningful share of the workload of a senior leader who is stepping into a Director position, so the firm is looking for someone who can take ownership quickly with minimal ramp time.

The ideal candidate is organized, approaches every issue with an analytical mindset, converts prospects into clients with confidence, and enjoys developing a small team.
