Job description

CPA or EA | High-growth accounting business | Genuine progression

A fast-growing, entrepreneurial accounting business is looking for a Tax Manager to join its Brooklyn operation.

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than another traditional CPA firm role. The business is growing quickly through acquisition, investing heavily in technology and AI, and creating plenty of opportunities for people who want to take on more responsibility as it scales.

You’ll work closely with small businesses and business owners across:

• 1040, 1065, 1120-S, 1120 and 1041 returns
• Tax preparation and review
• Client management and advisory
• Staff supervision and development
• Tax planning
• Bookkeeping and financial statement oversight

What they’re looking for:

• CPA or EA
• Strong public accounting / CPA firm background
• Broad tax generalist experience
• Comfortable reviewing returns and managing clients
• Experience supervising or mentoring staff
• Commercial, ambitious and happy working in a growing environment

This is particularly suited to someone who wants more ownership, faster progression and the chance to grow with a business rather than wait years for the next title.
