Schedule: Flexible Hybrid

Our client, a nationally recognized consulting, tax, accounting, audit, and advisory firm, is seeking an experienced Tax Senior Manager to join its growing Kansas City metro practice based in Overland Park.

This is more than a traditional tax senior management role.

It's an opportunity to serve as a trusted advisor to business owners, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, real estate companies, manufacturers, and professional service firms while helping lead and develop one of the firm's expanding tax practices.

The ideal candidate brings technical tax expertise, client relationship skills, leadership capabilities, and the desire to help clients navigate increasingly complex business and tax challenges.

• Significant client advisory responsibilities
• Diverse industry exposure
• Strong mentorship and career development opportunities
• Opportunity to work directly with firm leadership
• Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture
• Clear path toward Principal-level advancement
• Access to national resources with local market influence

Exceptional candidates with niche industry expertise, advanced tax consulting experience, strong business development skills, or significant leadership experience may be considered above the posted compensation range.

• Business Strategy & Growth Planning
• Healthcare Industry Tax Services
• Financial Institution Tax Planning
• Real Estate Tax Advisory
• Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Develop proactive tax strategies that support client growth and profitability
• Advise clients on business structuring, entity selection, and tax-efficient planning opportunities

• Serve as a strategic advisor to business owners and executive leadership teams

Client Relationship Management

• Build and maintain long-term client relationships
• Deliver exceptional service and practical business solutions
• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and services
• Coordinate tax, accounting, consulting, and advisory engagements
• Become a trusted year-round resource for clients

Leadership & Team Development

• Manage, mentor, and develop tax professionals across multiple levels
• Provide coaching, technical guidance, and career development support
• Review work product and maintain quality standards
• Assist with recruiting, retention, and staff development initiatives
• Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement

Practice Growth

• Participate in networking and business development activities
• Assist with proposals, presentations, and client pursuits
• Build referral relationships and cultivate new business opportunities
• Support strategic growth initiatives across the practice

• Healthcare
