Job description

Tax Manager, Hybrid, Independent CPA Firm | Fort Worth, TX | $125,000 to $150,000

Manager pay and responsibility, without a Manager sized busy season. At this Fort Worth firm, peak weeks top out around 50 to 55 hours, you work hybrid all year, and it pays $125,000 to $150,000.

An independent CPA firm in Fort Worth TX is adding a Tax Manager with at least five years of public accounting tax experience. You get the real Manager job: owning clients, reviewing returns, developing junior staff. What you don't get is the lifestyle that usually comes bundled with it.

Busy season is still busy, nobody's pretending otherwise. The firm just keeps a lid on it, and the independent setup means a lot less corporate feel than you'll find at the larger names.

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
• Real ownership of client relationships and engagements
• An independent firm where you can keep progressing without burning out

What you'll be doing

• Reviewing returns and owning the quality of the work that goes out
• Managing your own client relationships and engagements
• Mentoring and developing junior staff
• Juggling priorities and working independently at Manager level

Who fits well here

• At least 5 years of tax experience in a CPA or public accounting firm, ideally including return review and client management
• Comfortable talking with clients and bringing less experienced staff along
• CPA or EA preferred
• CCH Axcess, Lacerte or UltraTax is a plus, though other software is considered
