Job description

Become a trusted advisor to a loyal, high-quality client base at Hare CPAs. In this leadership role, you’ll oversee client relationships, guide a talented team, and provide strategic tax and business insights in a collaborative environment. You’ll oversee tax planning, review complex returns, and make a real impact.

About the Position:

If you’re a driven professional who thrives in a collaborative, family-oriented environment, then you’re in the right place! At our privately held firm, we pride ourselves on fostering deeper, more meaningful client relationships. We are seeking a passionate, detail-oriented Tax Manager to join our high-performing team and grow their career in an exceptional environment.

You won’t be stepping into chaos here—this is a well-functioning organization with a loyal and high-quality client base that truly values our work. As a Tax Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to work broadly across client needs, not in a narrow specialization. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, often serving as a sounding board for business owners and providing insights that truly matter.

We take care of our team so they can take care of our clients. Our hybrid schedule allows flexibility while ensuring we work together in-office Monday through Thursday during tax season. Every Wednesday, we gather as a team for a staff meeting, complete with lunch provided by the firm—it’s a great chance to connect, collaborate, and grow together. At our firm, we care deeply about each other and about creating a supportive, positive environment where you can be your best. Whether it’s encouraging personal growth, covering for a team member on a family trip, or simply being there for one another, we prioritize our team as much as we do our clients.

If this sounds like the kind of workplace where you can thrive, we’d love to have you join us.

About Us:
