Base pay range

$125,000.00/yr - $145,000.00/yr

This long‑established and highly regarded CPA firm in the North Dallas (TX) area offers exactly that. The firm has built its reputation through consistency, integrity and a genuine people‑first approach. Growth is measured and intentional, and senior hires are made because they add value long term, not to solve short‑term capacity issues.

As Tax Manager, you will be a key figure in the delivery of client work. You will review complex returns, lead planning conversations and support both clients and team members, with real autonomy and direct access to Partners. The environment is calm, collaborative and free from the constant fire drills often found in larger firms.

Your role

• Managing and reviewing complex federal and state tax returns for individuals, partnerships and closely held businesses
• Acting as a primary point of contact for a portfolio of long‑standing clients
• Providing practical planning and advisory support throughout the year
• Mentoring and developing senior and mid‑level staff
• Working closely with Partners on workflow, quality and client strategy

Who this suits

• CPA or EA with solid public accounting experience
• Comfortable reviewing work and guiding others rather than focusing purely on preparation
• A strong communicator who values long‑term client relationships
• Someone who enjoys being part of a stable, collaborative firm

Why this role stands out

• A respected CPA firm with a strong local reputation across DFW
• Supportive Partners who trust their Managers and welcome good ideas
• Sensible workloads with a focus on quality over volume
• Clear long‑term opportunity for progression for the right person

If you want to remain in public accounting but in an environment that feels balanced, grown‑up and professionally rewarding, this is the kind of Tax Manager role that is rarely available and well worth exploring.
