• Serve as the primary relationship manager for an assigned portfolio of clients.
• Manage engagements from initial planning and budgeting through final delivery and billing.
• Review work prepared by associates and senior accountants for accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Coach, mentor, and develop tax professionals while providing timely and constructive feedback.
• Monitor engagement deadlines, workloads, budgets, realization, and profitability.
• Collaborate with firm leadership on client retention, process improvement, and practice growth.
• Remain current on changes to federal, state, and local tax laws.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
• Active CPA license required.
• Current or recent public accounting experience required.
• At least 7 years of progressive tax experience, including experience reviewing complex returns.
• Previous experience managing client engagements and supervising tax professionals.
• Strong knowledge of federal and multistate taxation.
• Experience serving closely held businesses, partnerships, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Demonstrated ability to provide proactive tax planning and advisory services.
• Strong technical research, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with partnership taxation and complex ownership structures.
• Exposure to trust, estate, gift, or succession planning.
• Experience serving clients in industries such as real estate, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, franchising, professional services, retail, or nonprofit organizations.
• Familiarity with tax credits, multistate filings, and international reporting requirements.
• Experience managing engagement economics, including budgets, realization, and billing.
• Master’s degree in Taxation, Accounting, or Business Administration.

What Makes This Opportunity Attractive

• Meaningful client contact and the opportunity to operate as a trusted advisor.
• A leadership role with influence over engagements, staff development, and client strategy.
• Exposure to sophisticated tax-planning matters and a diverse client portfolio.
• Professional growth and a clear path toward greater leadership responsibility.
• Competitive compensation, performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits.
• A collaborative environment that values technical excellence, responsive client service, and long-term relationships.

Ideal Candidate Profile
