Tax Manager | Top 200 Independent CPA Firm | True Work-Life Balance
Location: 100% Remote (Must be located in the US & authorized to work)
Compensation: Up to $165k base + discretionary bonus + partner-track equity opportunity
Requirements: 5-6+ years public accounting tax experience | 1-2 years as a Manager| CPA Required
We are a regionally rooted, independently owned CPA and advisory firm with nearly five decades of history—serving privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and a broad range of corporate and nonprofit clients across the country. We are hiring a Tax Manager to join a growing, high-performing tax practice—fully remote—with a clear path for someone who wants to build a career, not just fill a seat.
This is a firm that has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way. Ranked among the Top 200 accounting firms in the U.S. every year since 2020, recognized as a "Best of the Best" firm by Inside Public Accounting, and sitting at a 4.5/5 star Glassdoor rating—the culture here is not a talking point, it's the product of 200 people who actually want to be there. Median employee tenure exceeds 7 years. That tells you something.
And if you've been watching firms around you get absorbed by PE platforms or rolled up into national aggregators—this is the alternative. This firm is 100% independently owned, has no interest in private equity, and intends to keep it that way. The culture, the client relationships, the autonomy—none of it is going anywhere.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Genuinely Flexible Remote Work — The firm has 27+ fully remote employees outside of its home market. You're not an outlier here. You're part of how this firm operates.
- Summer Hours — 32 Hours Per Week — Not a rumor. Not a pilot program. Every summer, the firm shifts to a 32-hour workweek, firm-wide. It is a real, structured benefit.
- Busy Season That Stays in Its Lane — February and March run 45–50 hours. April peaks at 50–60 max. When the deadline passes, it's over. There is no "extended busy season" here.
- Partner Track That's Actually Real — The firm promotes from within and has the tenure data to prove it. If you want to make Partner, the path is visible and actively supported.
- Quarterly Fly-Outs for Remote Employees — The firm flies remote employees in at least once per quarter for company meetings and events—all expenses paid. You are not an afterthought on the org chart.
- Sabbatical Leave — A genuine sabbatical program for long-tenured employees. A rare benefit in public accounting, full stop.
Benefits Worth Mentioning
- Generous PTO — depending on tenure
- 9 paid holidays
- Sabbatical leave eligibility
- 32-hour summer workweeks — firm-wide, every year
- Full reimbursement for CPA exam fees and continuing education
- Quarterly all-expenses-paid remote employee fly-outs
- Company events throughout the year — and yes, remote employees are included
- Top 200 U.S. accounting firm — ranked consistently for 6+ consecutive years
- "Best of the Best" designation from Inside Public Accounting
Key Responsibilities
- Review and manage tax compliance and planning for closely held businesses, pass-through entities, and high-net-worth individuals
- Lead and develop client relationships with a quality-first approach — this is not a volume-first environment
- Mentor junior and senior staff; contribute to internal training and team development
- Identify proactive tax planning opportunities and advise clients on evolving tax law
- Collaborate with partners and senior leadership on client strategy and firm growth
Qualifications
- Active CPA license required
- 5–6+ years of public accounting experience, with meaningful tax review and management responsibility (1-2 years as Manager)
- Strong background in pass-through entities, closely held businesses, and/or HNW individual taxation
- Excellent client communication and relationship management skills
- Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment
