Job description

Tax Manager, Hybrid, Small CPA Firm | Arlington, TX | $125,000 to $150,000

Spent last busy season picking up the work of people who'd already left? At this Arlington firm, staff stay for years, peak weeks top out around 50 to 55 hours, and it pays $125,000 to $150,000 with hybrid working.

It's an independent CPA firm of around 15 to 25 staff with strong client relationships and a real track record of retention. That usually points to a well run business, a team that works well together, and clients who value what they're getting.

They're adding an experienced Tax Manager to be a steady senior presence: owning clients, reviewing complex work and developing junior staff, with your impact visible rather than lost in a corporate structure.

What's on offer

• $125,000 to $150,000
• Busy season generally around 50 to 55 hours a week at peak
• 401(k), plus medical, dental and vision insurance
• Tuition assistance
• A team of around 15 to 25 with strong staff and client retention
• Real client ownership in a firm where your work gets noticed

What you'll be doing

• Owning long term client relationships
• Reviewing complex returns and managing deadlines
• Communicating directly with clients
• Mentoring and supporting junior staff

What they're looking for

• At least 5 years of tax experience at a CPA or public accounting firm
• Comfortable reviewing returns, managing deadlines and developing junior staff
• CPA or EA preferred
• CCH Axcess, Lacerte or UltraTax is useful, though other software backgrounds are welcome
