Real Estate Tax Manager | 100% Remote | Independent CPA Firm | $120k-$170k

Compensation: $120k-$170k base | Performance bonuses | Sign-on bonus available

Requirements: CPA or EA required | 5-7+ years tax experience | Real estate focus

Location: 100% Remote nationwide (East Coast hours preferred)

We are a century-old independent CPA firm in the Washington, D.C. area with a thriving real estate specialty practice—and we've intentionally remained independent (no PE, never will be).

Nearly all our Partners started as associates here, and our average employee tenure exceeds 9.5 years. If you're seeking a long-term home with clear advancement pathways, a nurturing culture, and sophisticated real estate clients—this is it.

What You'll Do:

• Lead tax compliance and planning for real estate investors, developers, and property management companies—including 1031 exchanges, entity structuring, and complex partnership returns
• Develop and maintain strong client relationships while identifying growth opportunities
• Mentor and develop staff accountants and seniors
• Participate in business development and client retention initiatives
• Stay current on tax law changes and emerging real estate strategies

What You'll Bring:

• 5-7+ years of public accounting experience with real estate taxation focus
• Strong background in partnerships, multi-entity structures, and investor clients
• CPA or EA required
• Experience from regional or mid-sized firms preferred
• Excellent client communication and relationship management skills
• Proficiency in [firm's tax software] and portal-based client collaboration

Why This Stands Out:

• 100% remote flexibility - 35% of our team works fully remote
• Multiple career pathways - Partner track or Director track (we embrace that not everyone wants equity)
• Exceptional retention - 9.5+ year average tenure speaks volumes about our culture
• No PE in our future - Independently owned with organic growth strategy
• Strategic workload management - We intentionally balance work to avoid burnout
• Reasonable billable hours - 1,300-1,600 annually (55-65% chargeable)
• Tempered busy season - Intentional work-life balance built into firm structure

Total Compensation:

• Base Salary: up to $170,000 (experience-based)
• Performance bonuses tied to realization and business development
• Sign-on bonus available for qualified candidates
• 3 weeks vacation + 2 weeks sick time
• Employer-contributed medical coverage
• 401(k) match: 50% up to a percentage of salary
• Life insurance and short-term disability

Our Culture:

We're a forward-thinking firm that stays ahead of technology and industry trends while valuing long-term careers over corporate bureaucracy. Nearly all our Partners started as associates here—that's the kind of growth opportunity we offer.

This role is ideal for an experienced tax professional who wants to build deep relationships with real estate clients in a firm that values intentional growth and sustainable work-life balance.
