Location: Bedford, NH

At Altair, you’ll be part of a rapidly growing, nationally recognized firm that was recently named one of New Hampshire’s Best Companies to Work For.

Altair Group was built on the idea of doing things differently. After years at mid-sized and Big 4 firms, our three founders set out to build an employee-focused firm—one that delivers challenging, rewarding work in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. And we have the awards to prove it!

Our Awards

Ranked #14 Best Company to Work For in New Hampshire by Business NH Magazine

Named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

For a boutique firm founded just seven years ago, these milestones reflect both our entrepreneurial spirit and our commitment to building an extraordinary culture.

What Makes Us Different?

Culture First: At Altair, we believe great work starts with great people—and great people thrive in a team-focused culture that cares. We celebrate together, embrace flexibility, and invest in well-being with perks like summer half-day Fridays and in-office massages when it matters most.

Growth You Can Feel: We’re not just growing—we’re evolving. Here, you’ll gain mentorship from experienced leaders, the freedom to innovate, and the opportunity to help steer a firm that’s redefining what an accounting firm can be.

High-Impact Work: Our clients turn to Altair for the best of both worlds—big-firm expertise with boutique-level care. You’ll work with New England/CA/NY based founders, high net worth individuals and entrepreneurs whose complex needs make every project meaningful and engaging.

Recognition & Rewards: We believe great work deserves to be celebrated. Along with competitive compensation and benefits, we recognize both personal and team achievements with surprise bonuses and meaningful appreciation in a team-first environment.

Your Role

As a Senior Tax Manager, you’ll be part of the firm’s management team as well as own client relationships, specializing in high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and estates. Your responsibilities will include:

Oversee individual income, trust and estate income tax compliance and planning.

Review complex tax returns, including hedge fund/VC/PE K-1s and international reporting.

Identify tax planning opportunities and analyze complex tax issues.

Mentor and develop staff, while contributing to and leading firm-wide initiatives.

Be the primary contact for clients, ensuring excellence in communication and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

CPA or EA designation required.

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Taxation, or related field.

8+ years of experience with high-net-worth individual taxation and trust/estate work.

A proactive, collaborative, and positive mindset.

Comfort working in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

Hybrid work is available for the right candidate.

We welcome candidates with less experience who are high performers ready for the next step.

Why Make the Move Now?

At many firms, your growth may be limited, or you may feel like just another cog in the wheel. At Altair, you’ll be a key part of a growth-oriented firm where your expertise is valued, your ideas are heard, and your career can flourish.

If you’re looking for a place that values people as much as performance, we’d love to talk.
