Tax Manager – Real Estate Focus

Compensation: $120k-$170k base | Business development incentives | Sign-on bonus

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

Location: 100% Remote (East & Central Coast preferred)

Nearly 100-year-old independent CPA firm in the Washington, D.C. area hiring for our growing real estate practice

This is a rare opportunity to join a firm that has intentionally remained independent (no private equity), where nearly all Partners started as associates and the 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:

• Manage complex tax returns for real estate investors, developers, and property management companies
• Provide sophisticated tax planning for real estate transactions, 1031 exchanges, and entity structuring
• Handle partnership and multi-entity real estate structures
• Develop and maintain strong client relationships with real estate investors and developers
• Mentor and develop staff accountants and seniors
• Participate in business development activities and client retention initiatives
• Stay current on tax law changes and emerging real estate tax strategies

What You'll Bring:

• 5-7+ years of public accounting experience required
• Strong background in real estate taxation, partnerships, and investor clients
• CPA or EA required
• Experience from regional or mid-sized firms preferred
• Excellent client communication and relationship management skills
• Proven ability to handle complex multi-entity real estate structures

Why This Stands Out:

• 100% remote flexibility (35% of our associates are fully remote)
• Multiple career pathways: Partner track or Director track (we embrace that not everyone wants to be Partner)
• Exceptional retention: 9.5+ year average tenure speaks to our culture
• No PE in our future: Independently owned with organic growth strategy
• Strategic workload management: We intentionally allocate work to avoid burnout—quality over quantity
• Reasonable billable hours: 1,300-1,600 annually (55-65% chargeable)
• Tempered busy season with intentional work-life balance

Total Compensation:

• Base: $120,000 - $170,000 (experience-based)
• Sign-on bonus available
• Business development incentive program
• 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 and collaborative culture 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 work-life balance.
