A Leadership Opportunity Beyond the Traditional Tax Director Role

We are assisting an established accounting and advisory firm in identifying a Tax Director / Senior Tax Manager to join its New Castle, Delaware office.

This is an on-site opportunity for an experienced CPA to take on a significant leadership role within an established office, with a clear path toward becoming deeply integrated into the firm's leadership structure and assuming non-equity partner-level responsibilities.

The firm is looking for someone who can take ownership of the office's tax operations while also playing an important role in client relationships, advisory services, business development, and the continued growth of the practice.

Why This Opportunity Matters

• Partner-track opportunity: The successful candidate will be positioned for significant integration into the firm's leadership and a path toward non-equity partner-level responsibilities.
• Meaningful ownership: Take a leadership role in overseeing and developing the office's tax practice rather than simply managing a portfolio of engagements.
• Established platform: Join an approximately 15-person New Castle office with an established client base and approximately $4 million in annual revenue.
• No book of business required: The firm is seeking leadership and growth capability, not simply a portable client base.
• Broad client exposure: Work with clients across real estate, construction, nonprofit organizations, trusts and estates, and privately held businesses.
• Tax + advisory: Play an active role in both compliance and tax planning/advisory services.
• Strong earning potential: Compensation is expected to range from $150,000 to $300,000, depending on experience and level of responsibility.

The Role

The Tax Director / Senior Tax Manager will provide broad leadership over the office's tax operations and serve as a senior resource for both clients and internal staff.

Responsibilities will include:

• Oversee the office's tax practice, including workflow, engagement management, review, and staff development.
• Provide tax compliance, planning, and advisory services to a diverse client base.
• Serve as a senior advisor to clients and develop long-term relationships.
• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and contribute to business development.
• Help shape the continued growth and strategic direction of the office.
• Mentor and develop tax professionals.
• Collaborate with the firm's accounting and advisory professionals.
• Take on increasing leadership responsibilities as the individual becomes more integrated into the firm's overall operations.

Qualifications needed:

• Active CPA license required.
• Significant accounting and tax experience, with tax as a primary area of expertise.
• Strong general tax knowledge and the ability to oversee a broad range of tax engagements.
• Experience with both tax compliance and advisory/planning.
• Demonstrated experience developing client relationships and contributing to business development.
• Strong leadership, communication, and client-facing skills.
• Public accounting experience preferred.

Compensation & Growth

$150,000 - $300,000, depending on experience and level of responsibility.

This opportunity is designed for a CPA who is ready to move beyond the traditional Senior Manager/Director track and take on substantial leadership responsibility within an established accounting and advisory practice.

The firm is willing to consider candidates countrywide, at both the Senior Tax Manager and Tax Director level, with the scope, compensation, and leadership expectations adjusted accordingly.
