Job description

Tax Director (Top 25 Firm) | Tampa, FL | $170,000 to $280,000 + Bonus

Good money. More influence. And a chance to actually enjoy the senior position you've spent years working towards.

At some point in your public accounting career, you probably hoped you'd spend more time advising clients, developing people and making decisions, rather than just being the person everyone sends their complicated tax returns to.

Well, this could be worth a conversation.

I'm working with a large, established public accounting firm looking for a Tax Director in Tampa.

The salary is $170,000 to $280,000, plus an annual bonus, comprehensive benefits, generous PTO and a firm that recognises you've got a life outside of tax.

So, what's the attraction?

You'll work with middle market businesses, business owners and high net worth individuals, advising on complex tax matters, particularly partnerships and pass through entities.

You'll have the opportunity to build meaningful client relationships, mentor talented accountants and play a part in growing the practice.

And importantly, you'll have a voice in how things are done.

The firm offers flexibility, investment in professional development and the resources of a substantial national practice.

Who would this suit?

Perhaps you're already a Tax Director wondering whether the grass might actually be greener.

Or maybe you're a Senior Tax Manager who's ready for more responsibility, more influence and a salary that reflects it.

You'll need a CPA, substantial public accounting experience and a strong background in business taxation, particularly partnerships.

The rest? Let's have a conversation.

Here’s the part most people get wrong: you don’t need to tick every box to introduce yourself. The apply button is not legally binding. Worst case? We chat, decide the timing isn’t right, and you carry on. Best case? You bag yourself a fantastic new position.
