Tax Manager / Senior Tax Manager
Fully Remote | Top 100 Independently Owned CPA Firm
Sophisticated Tax Work. Meaningful Client Relationships. Better Work-Life Balance.
A growing, independently owned Top 100 CPA firm is looking to add a Tax Manager / Senior Tax Manager to its expanding team. This is a fully remote opportunity for a tax professional who wants the technical complexity and client exposure of a larger firm—without sacrificing their quality of life.
The firm has built a strong reputation for work-life balance, and that commitment has helped attract and retain talented professionals who have made the move from larger national and regional firms.
This is not a role where you’ll simply push returns through a compliance process. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with business owners and decision-makers, combining tax compliance, consulting, accounting methods, transaction advisory, and proactive tax planning to help clients make better business decisions.
The Opportunity
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys the “why” behind the numbers and likes finding creative, practical solutions to complex tax issues.
You’ll work primarily with operating businesses, including companies with inventory and more complex accounting and tax considerations. Your clients may be navigating growth, acquisitions, mergers, ownership changes, accounting method decisions, or other significant business events.
You’ll have the opportunity to own client relationships from both the compliance and consulting sides, serving as a trusted advisor rather than simply a preparer or reviewer.
What You'll Be Doing
- Manage a diverse portfolio of operating business clients
- Oversee and review complex federal and state tax compliance engagements
- Provide proactive tax planning and consulting throughout the year
- Advise clients on accounting methods and tax implications of business decisions
- Work with businesses involving inventory and more complex accounting methods
- Assist clients with mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, and other transactions
- Identify tax-saving opportunities and develop practical planning strategies
- Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships
- Serve as a trusted advisor to business owners and executive teams
- Work collaboratively with partners and other service lines to identify opportunities and solve client issues
- Research complex tax questions and communicate recommendations clearly to clients
- Review work prepared by staff and provide coaching and development
- Help identify opportunities to improve processes and deliver greater value to clients
What We're Looking For
We’re looking for a tax professional who combines strong technical knowledge with genuine curiosity and business judgment.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience at the Manager or Senior Manager level in public accounting
- Strong experience with business taxation
- A background working with operating companies, particularly those dealing with inventory
- Experience with accounting methods, M&A, and/or proactive tax planning
- Both tax compliance and tax consulting experience preferred
- Strong client relationship and communication skills
- The ability to independently manage client relationships and engagements
- A creative, outside-the-box approach to solving tax problems
- Strong technical research and analytical abilities
- Experience reviewing and developing staff
- CPA preferred
Most importantly, you should enjoy working directly with clients and thinking beyond the return.
Why Make the Move?
If you’ve spent time at a larger accounting firm, you already know the tradeoff: sophisticated clients and challenging work can come with demanding hours, layers of bureaucracy, and limited flexibility.
This firm has taken a different approach.
You’ll get the opportunity to work on complex tax issues and meaningful client engagements while being part of an organization that genuinely prioritizes work-life balance.
That philosophy has helped the firm attract experienced professionals from larger firms—and retain them.
What You Can Expect
- 100% fully remote position
- Competitive compensation
- Excellent benefits package
- Strong commitment to work-life balance
- Sophisticated tax and consulting work
- Direct client exposure and relationship ownership
- Opportunity to work with business owners and decision-makers
- Growing, independently owned Top 100 CPA firm
- Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture
- Career growth without the traditional large-firm lifestyle
The Bottom Line
This is an opportunity for a Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager who wants to continue doing sophisticated work, build meaningful client relationships, and be viewed as a trusted advisor—while having a life outside of public accounting.
If you’re coming from a larger firm and have been looking for a place where technical tax work, client relationships, career growth, and work-life balance can actually coexist, this could be a great fit.
Apply today for a confidential conversation about the firm, clients, compensation, and long-term opportunity.
