Job description

Director of Tax Operations - RCG Tax Partners

Are you an experienced tax professional who enjoys helping clients solve problems rather than focusing on compliance and tax returns? Have you ever wanted the opportunity to lead a successful tax consulting firm without taking on the financial risks of ownership?

If you're ready to put your tax expertise and leadership skills to work in a role where you can make a meaningful impact, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.

RCG Tax Partners is looking for a Director of Tax Operations to lead day-to-day operations, develop a high-performing team, and help drive the continued success and growth of our firm.

This is not a traditional tax compliance position. In this Tax Consulting role you'll have the opportunity to combine your technical tax expertise with business leadership, focusing on specialized tax consulting, operational improvements, and client relationships rather than the routine preparation and review of tax returns.

You'll work closely with the firm's founder, with meaningful responsibility for how the business operates and the opportunity to help shape its future.

About RCG Tax Partners

Founded in 2004, RCG Tax Partners is an established and successful specialty tax advisory firm headquartered in Stow, Ohio. We help businesses identify and claim valuable tax incentives, specializing in Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credits, Cost Segregation Studies, and 179D Energy-Efficiency tax deductions.

With more than 27,000 studies completed and over $950 million in combined federal and state tax savings delivered to clients, we've built a strong reputation for technical expertise, personalized service, and results.

Our clients represent a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, technology, engineering, construction, and more. We're proud of what we've accomplished, and we're looking for an experienced leader who can help us build on that success.

What You'll Do

As Director of Tax Operations, you'll oversee the firm's daily operations, lead and develop the team, and strengthen the systems and processes that support our success. You'll also apply your tax expertise to client engagements, making this a unique combination of business leadership and specialized tax consulting.

Lead the Business Operations

• Oversee day-to-day operations, including project scheduling, workflow management, and resource allocation.
• Ensure client engagements are completed accurately, on time, and within budget.
• Monitor operational performance and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability.
• Partner with the firm's leadership to execute strategic initiatives and support continued growth.
• Take ownership of operational challenges and drive solutions that improve business performance and the client experience.

Improve Systems and Processes

• Evaluate existing workflows and identify opportunities to streamline operations.
• Implement and optimize systems, technology, and processes that increase efficiency and profitability.
• Develop scalable procedures that support consistent, high-quality work.
• Use operational data and performance metrics to guide decisions and improvements.

Lead and Develop the Team

• Provide leadership, coaching, and support to operations and administrative team members.
• Foster a positive, collaborative, and accountable work environment.
• Establish clear expectations, encourage professional development, and help employees reach their potential.
• Build a high-performing team that takes pride in delivering exceptional work and client service.

Provide Specialized Tax Consulting

• Apply your technical tax knowledge to client engagements involving specialty tax incentives.
• Collaborate with clients and internal team members to identify opportunities and deliver valuable tax solutions.
• Provide technical guidance and oversight to ensure the accuracy and quality of client work.
• Develop and expand your expertise in R&D tax credits, cost segregation, and other specialized tax incentives.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Active CPA license.
• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting.
• At least 7 years of professional tax experience.
• Strong technical tax knowledge and analytical skills.
• Experience managing multiple projects, deadlines, and competing priorities.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
• Intermediate or advanced Microsoft Excel skills.

• Master's degree in Accounting or Taxation.

What Will Make You Successful

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical expertise with business acumen, leadership ability, and a genuine interest in helping people succeed.

You'll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Think like a business owner: You take responsibility for results, look for opportunities to improve the business, and approach challenges with an ownership mindset.
• Enjoy leading people: You believe that developing employees and building a strong team are essential to business success.
• Are naturally process-minded: You see opportunities to improve systems, eliminate inefficiencies, and create better ways of working.
• Balance strategy with execution: You can see the big picture while staying involved in the details necessary to get things done.
• Take initiative: You're a proactive problem-solver who brings ideas and follows through on solutions.
• Value quality and client service: You understand the importance of accuracy, responsiveness, and delivering meaningful results for clients.
