• Comp time for hours worked beyond required tax-season minimums
• Half-day Fridays during June and July
• Direct exposure to Partners and key client relationships
• Long-established firm with a stable and diverse client base
• Strong benefits including health insurance, retirement benefits, PTO, life/disability insurance, and tuition reimbursement

• Manage and review complex individual, corporate, partnership, fiduciary, and other tax returns
• Provide tax planning, research, and advisory services across federal, state, and local tax matters
• Manage key client relationships and multiple tax engagements
• Work directly with Partners on complex tax issues and strategies
• Review staff work and provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship
• Manage engagement workflow, deadlines, priorities, and deliverables
• Identify opportunities to improve tax processes, efficiency, and client service
• Stay current on changes in federal, state, and local tax regulations

Qualifications of the Senior Tax Manager

• Active CPA license required
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
• 8+ years of recent public accounting tax experience
• Tax review and supervisory/management experience
• Strong experience with individual, corporate, partnership, and fiduciary returns
• Strong tax planning, research, and analytical skills
