Job description

We are partnering with a well-established public accounting firm in New Hampshire to find an experienced Tax Manager who is ready to take the next step in their career.

This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys staying technically engaged while also leading client relationships, mentoring developing professionals, and providing strategic guidance to closely held businesses and their owners.

You’ll manage a diverse portfolio of tax engagements, work directly with clients and professional advisors, and join a collaborative team that genuinely values professional development, work-life balance, and long-term relationships.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact without stepping away from the technical work you enjoy, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare and review complex business, individual, trust, and other tax returns with a strong focus on accuracy and quality.
• Manage tax engagements from planning through final delivery, keeping projects organized and deadlines on track.
• Identify proactive tax planning opportunities and provide practical, value-added recommendations to clients.
• Research complex federal and state tax matters and communicate findings clearly.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for clients, attorneys, bankers, taxing authorities, and other professional advisors.
• Develop a deep understanding of clients’ businesses, goals, and long‑term financial needs.
• Delegate assignments effectively and provide thoughtful, actionable review feedback.
• Mentor and develop associates and senior‑level team members through coaching, technical guidance, and ongoing feedback.
• Collaborate with professionals across service lines to identify additional ways to support clients.
• Participate in networking, relationship development, and community involvement to support continued firm growth.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of public accounting tax experience with increasing levels of responsibility.
• Strong experience preparing and reviewing complex business and individual tax returns.
• Solid knowledge of federal and state taxation, particularly for closely held businesses and their owners.
• CPA license preferred.
• Strong client service and relationship‑building abilities.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple engagements and priorities effectively.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A genuine interest in mentoring and developing other accounting professionals.

You’ll Stand Out If You

• Enjoy remaining hands‑on with complex tax work while also leading and reviewing engagements.
• Naturally enjoy coaching and developing other professionals.
• Build long‑term client relationships and want to become a trusted advisor beyond annual tax compliance.
• Look proactively for planning opportunities rather than simply reacting to deadlines.
• Enjoy researching and solving challenging tax issues.
• Value a collaborative environment where team members support one another.

Benefits & Work-Life Balance

The firm offers a competitive benefits package designed to support employees both professionally and personally, including:

• Employer‑paid contribution covering 85% of employee health insurance premiums, with an opt‑out stipend available for employees with qualifying alternative coverage.
• Company‑paid life insurance.
• Company‑paid short‑term and long‑term disability insurance.
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays.
• Fridays off throughout June and July, with a 36‑hour workweek during those months.
• Office closure during the week of July 4.
• Office closure the day after the April tax filing deadline.
• Dinner stipends during tax season.
• Access to modern technology and business systems.
• Ongoing continuing education and professional development.
• A supportive, team‑oriented culture focused on helping people succeed.
