Job description

It's a Wednesday in late August and a client who owns half a dozen buildings around the Valley rings to ask what happens to all of it when he dies. You've done his 1040 for three years, you know the partnerships sitting underneath it, and for once you're the person who can answer him rather than the one who books the meeting.

That's the seat. Tax manager in a small Woodland Hills practice, $152k to $172k, CPA required. Supervisors ready for the step up are in the frame too, and where you land in the range comes down to what you bring.

Why this firm:

• $152k to $172k, set by your experience
• A small office, so you'll know every client on your list by name
• Plenty of estate work alongside the income tax side
• Hybrid, though you'll be in the office more than you're out of it
• Busy season is still busy season. Nobody's given me hours for it, so ask

What you'll be doing:

• Reviewing returns and getting them ready for a partner to sign
• Partnership and corporate returns, with a lot of real estate in the mix
• 1040s for professionals and wealthier families
• Estate and gift returns through the year
• Being the person clients ring between deadlines

What you'll have:

• Supervisor or manager time in public accounting tax
• A home within a reasonable drive of Woodland Hills
