Job description

Want a Tax Manager role with a genuine path to Partner, hybrid flexibility, strong benefits, and a culture people actually choose to stay in?

An independent CPA firm in Providence, RI is looking for a Tax Manager to join its team.

Work life balance here is tangible. You can work from home 2 to 3 days a week, get half day Fridays from late April through June, and every Friday off in July and August.

• 15 to 21 days of vacation
• health, dental and vision coverage
• retirement matching
• wellness initiatives
• free parking
• continued investment in your development

Busy season is typically around 55 hours. The firm deliberately carries more staff to keep workloads manageable rather than running people into the ground.

And there’s somewhere to go.

They’ve doubled revenue over the last four years, continue to grow organically and through acquisitions, and are fiercely committed to remaining independent rather than selling to private equity. That creates a genuine route toward Partner.

• You’ll manage client relationships
• You’ll oversee tax engagements
• You’ll review complex returns
• You’ll provide planning and advisory support
• You’ll mentor Staff and Seniors across a broad mix of closely held businesses and their owners

The tax team is around 23 people within a 60+ person firm, with dedicated admin support and a focus on automation to keep unnecessary work off your plate.

The culture backs all of this up too. Turnover is low, and the firm has been recognized as one of Rhode Island’s Best Places to Work and one of Accounting Today’s Best Firms to Work For.

• 6+ years of public accounting tax experience
• an active CPA license
• experience managing clients and people

If you want a route to Partner, real autonomy, and a better quality of life without stepping away from interesting tax work, this could be a really good move.
