Job description

At White Tiger Connections, we believe that growth isn’t just about numbers; instead, it’s about vision, strategy, and connections that truly count. Our focus on the accounting industry isn’t incidental—it’s entirely intentional. As a result, we’re a team dedicated to helping firms achieve meaningful growth, whether through mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or carefully placed talent. Ultimately, our approach isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about understanding the unique dynamics of each firm we work with and crafting solutions that propel them forward.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to make powerful connections that propel accounting firms toward lasting success. We connect buyers, sellers, and partners with strategies that aren’t just transactional but transformative. Whether you’re growing through acquisition, looking to expand your capabilities, or planning for succession, we provide tailored solutions that create real value for your firm and your clients.

WHAT WE DO

White Tiger Connections focuses on three core areas: Mergers & Acquisitions, Consulting, and Recruiting. We work alongside you at every step, from identifying strategic opportunities to securing the right talent and guiding growth decisions. Our approach combines industry insight with hands‑on support, ensuring that each decision aligns with your firm’s goals and sets you up for sustainable success.

Job Description

This is a remote position.

About the Firm

Our client is a registered investment advisory (RIA) firm headquartered in Texas. The firm operates under a fiduciary standard and is built around a client-first philosophy, offering a fully integrated approach across financial planning, portfolio management, and income planning.

Their client base is predominantly retired individuals with Social Security income, pensions, investment and stock accounts, and straightforward single-state filings. The firm has been offering tax preparation as part of its integrated service model, with that work currently handled by outside providers. They're now ready to bring it fully in-house, and the Tax Manager will step into an existing book of client work from day one.

About the Role

The Tax Manager will be stepping into a well-established environment with an existing client base and integrated workflows already in place. While tax compliance is a new internal function, the foundation is already there: a well-defined book of clients, strong existing relationships, and a planning team that has been working alongside these clients for years.

The role is compliance-focused, with additional responsibilities spanning extension deadlines, quarterly estimates, tax advisory, business development, and special projects.

Responsibilities

Own tax compliance for an existing book of client work, transitioning responsibility fully in-house from outside providers

Prepare, review, and sign off on tax returns independently

Serve as the tax advisor inside client meetings, including Roth conversion discussions, estate planning conversations, and advisory work alongside the financial planning team

Requirements

CPA required

5+ years of tax experience in public accounting, with demonstrated strength in individual compliance, including W-2 earners, retirees, rental property, and investment accounts

Experience managing client relationships directly, not just doing compliance work

Interest or experience in business development

Strong communicator who can translate tax concepts clearly for clients without accounting backgrounds

Located in the state of Texas and comfortable working independently in a remote environment with occasional travel as needed

Competitive salary commensurate with experience

Benefits package available, details to be discussed during the process

Fully remote with occasional travel as needed
