Job description

Grayson & Associates, P.C. is a newly founded CPA firm launched in May 2026 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We serve clients across a variety of industries, with a particular focus on construction contractors and not-for-profit organizations, along with real estate, manufacturing, and other industries. As a growing firm, we are building a team of high-quality professionals and offer a genuine path to leadership, and ultimately partnership, for the right people. We are selectively growing an A+ client base and are looking to add one or two strong hires as we build out our audit and tax practices.

This is a full-time, hybrid role for a Tax Manager, based in our Murfreesboro office (require at least 2–3 days per week in-office). We use CCH Axcess for tax preparation and workflow, and are looking for someone who can help lead a growing tax practice, supervise tax staff, and build strong client relationships. Our tax growth strategy prioritizes quality over quantity: we are focused on serving business owners and their related entities with sophisticated planning and compliance needs, particularly in construction and the not-for-profit sector, rather than growing a large volume of stand‑alone individual returns.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and review tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, S corporations, estates/trusts, and not-for-profit organizations, with an emphasis on construction contractor and NPO clients
• Supervise, train, and mentor tax staff and seniors, contributing to their technical and professional growth

• Use CCH Axcess Tax and related software for return preparation, review, and workflow management
• Contribute to firm growth through client service excellence and business development

Requirements:

• CPA license is preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in accounting; a Master's degree in Taxation is a plus
• 4+ years of progressive tax experience in public accounting
• Experience with construction contractor or not-for-profit tax returns preferred
• Experience with CCH Axcess or similar professional tax software preferred
• Strong supervisory, organizational, and client relationship skills

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience
• Firm-paid health, vision, and dental insurance
• A genuine path to advancement, including partnership potential, at a growing firm
• The opportunity to help shape the culture, systems, and client base of a new firm from the ground up
• Most Friday's off during summer months
• Hybrid work schedule
