Job description

If you told most firm leaders their competitor was capping busy season at 45 hours and only asking staff to come in two days a week, they'd laugh. They'd say that firm won't make it. That they're soft. That they're leaving money on the table. But what if they're just wrong? Turns out, you can have your cake and eat it too—if you're in the right seat. And this seat is real. Capped at 45 hours. Two days in-office. But if this all sounds too good to be true—for some people, it is. The only way this setup holds is if you walk in already confident in tax. They'll train you on how the firm runs, how the systems work, how they approach delivery. But they can't teach you the technical side from scratch. The seat's built for someone who's already been running returns front to back—and is ready for a place that's built to last.

Requirements

• 5+ years of tax experience with exposure across nonprofits, corporations, or partnerships
• Confidence running returns and filings from kickoff to delivery
• Experience leading seniors and reviewing workpapers
• Strong tax technical knowledge and sound professional judgment
• CPA preferred, but not a barrier

Responsibilities

• Lead full engagements from planning through review and delivery
• Manage a team of seniors who know the work and don't need micromanaging
• Mentor when it's needed and clear roadblocks when they hit
• Keep timelines moving without chaos
• Lead with structure—but with space to actually operate

Benefits

• 45-hour weekly cap—even during busy season
• Hybrid setup: 2 days in-office, 3 remote
• Competitive base salary with twice-yearly bonus
• Long-term clients across nonprofit, corporate, and partnership tax
• Team of capable seniors and steady support
• Clear path forward into senior leadership
