Job description

You're already a Tax Manager. So why move firms just to do the same job somewhere else?

This one gives you a few good reasons.

More progression without donating your evenings to the cause.

That's the appeal here.

You'll join a regional CPA firm that's big enough to offer genuine career progression, but still feels small enough that people know who you are.

And because work life balance shouldn't just be something written on the careers page, there's generous PTO and busy season hours are capped at 55 per week.

There's genuine room to progress, a broad commercial client base, generous PTO and, rather importantly, a 55 hour cap during busy season.

The other nice bit is variety. This is a proper generalist Tax Manager role, working across manufacturing, real estate, nonprofits and professional services. You'll handle 1120s, 1040s, 1065s and 1041s, provide technical support to clients, and get involved with billing, scheduling and project management.

It's a top rated regional firm with the opportunities that brings, without turning your role into one tiny corner of tax or expecting the office to become your second home.
