MANAGER, TAX - Public Accounting

The short story:

Opportunity for a Manager, Tax with depth in capital intensive small business to join a local CPA firm offering a great work environment and work / life balance. Opportunity to achieve Partner status.

The long story:

The 2025 tax season is winding down, and you are finishing extensions and doing some tax planning with clients for 2026 filings. You’re researching the impact of tax law changes, and spending some time getting your CPE credits in.

You know how tax season goes with a CPA firm. Maybe you work now in tax for a CPA firm, and thrive on the pace and intensity. You love working with outside clients and understanding their situation and making it better. Your team looks up to you for leadership. Sure, the hours are tough, but at the end, you’re proud of what you do. Help clients preserve their hard-earned assets and get them in a good spot for the next year.

It’s all the other stuff that bothers you. Missing your kid’s school and sports events. Politics with those shooting for Partner. A feeling that “more” is never “enough”. Too much work-life imbalance is starting to make you think there might be something better, but you don’t want to end up in corporate cube-ville either.

There is something better. Keep reading.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Our client is a small CPA firm in central Ohio focused on small to mid-sized businesses, not-for-profits, and individual business owners. They’ve been around for over a half century, and their reputation for trust and performance has helped them retain clients for decades.

Several positive events have transpired to create this opportunity, with partner potential in the future.

WHY THIS ONE:

What’s different about this one? It’s culture and environment. We interviewed a couple of folks at the firm to see:

"I like that there's no politics here. Everyone is open and honest, no pretenses, and no games."

"The Managing Partner sits just down the hall, and I see him all the time. His door's always open and I can just walk in and talk about a situation or ask a question."

"It's a real family-oriented company. If I need to take my kid to the doctor, I can do it and adjust my hours without being made to feel guilty about it."

"I came from a large firm where it was all about your boss making partner. Here, there are no ego’s - we all work as a team to help each other."

"We do all sorts of team and community things, like charity golf outings and helping our not for profit clients with their events and initiatives."

WHAT IT TAKES:

You probably already know what this type of role requires:

• A passion for Tax Accounting and at least 8 years of relevant experience in public accounting.
• A degree in Accounting and active CPA status.
• Experience as a Sr. Tax Accountant, specifically in working with and supporting small businesses and high wealth individuals.
• Experience managing associates. Coaching / mentoring. Doing reviews.
• Strong understanding and experience in tax accounting for C-corps, S-corps, partnerships, LLC's, etc.
• Familiarity with real estate / construction sector is a huge plus. A good understanding and experience with various forms of partnerships and tax implications.
• You’ll be in a client facing role much of the time, so strong interpersonal and client relationship skills are key to success. Experience working with CFO’s, Controllers, and other financial executives.
• Adept at common software like UltraTax, Quickbooks, RIA, and Excel.

Benefits and compensation are solid.
