Job description

Plenty of tax managers have never filed a 5471 without someone senior checking their homework first. In this job they're just part of the week. It's a Tax Manager seat in West Hollywood, hybrid, paying $141k to $173k, at a practice small enough that you'd talk to the clients yourself.

The clients are individuals, a lot of them wealthy, some living here and some not, and a good share have something going on abroad. If foreign reporting makes you curious rather than nervous, you'll like the work. Nobody's promised me a number on hours for this one, so ask.

Why this firm:

• $141k to $173k, hybrid
• International individual work at a size of firm that usually farms it out
• You deal with the clients directly
• Wealthy individuals and families, residents and non residents alike
• Small team, so there's no big review department to lean on

What you'll be doing:

• Individual returns with foreign reporting attached, 5471s among them
• Some trusts and entity returns in the mix
• Reviewing other people's work as well as preparing your own
• Answering client questions without going through a partner first

What you'll have:

• CPA or EA
• 7 or so years of tax behind you
• Comfortable on Lacerte, with QuickBooks a plus
