Job description

Overview

Tax Manager - Growing Tampa CPA Firm

Location: Tampa, FL

Compensation: Up to $150,000 + Bonus

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

Join a dynamic, full-service accounting firm in Tampa that’s redefining what it means to work in public accounting. We’ve built something special - combining the sophisticated client work and professional development opportunities of a Big 4 environment with a culture that actually values work-life balance and employee well-being.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Professional Growth Without the Politics. Get exposure to complex, high-level tax work across multiple industries without the bureaucratic bottlenecks that plague traditional large firms. Our streamlined structure means you’ll have direct access to leadership and real input on firm direction.
• Capped Busy Season Hours. We believe great work comes from rested, motivated professionals. That’s why we’ve implemented busy season hour caps - no more endless 80-hour weeks that burn out talented people.
• Rapid Growth Environment. We’re in expansion mode, consistently adding new clients and team members. This isn’t just job security - it’s career acceleration in a firm that’s building something significant in the Tampa market.
• Big 4 Caliber Leadership. Our leadership team brings extensive Big 4 and public company experience, including alumni from PricewaterhouseCoopers. You’ll learn from professionals who’ve worked at the highest levels but chose to build something better.

What You’ll Do

• Lead complex tax planning and compliance projects for diverse client portfolio
• Manage and mentor junior staff members
• Drive process improvements and efficiency initiatives
• Build lasting client relationships across industries
• Contribute to firm growth through business development support

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of public accounting tax experience
• CPA certification required
• Strong technical skills across individual, corporate, and partnership taxation
• Leadership experience with team management capabilities
• Client service mindset with excellent communication skills
• Desire to be part of a growing, innovative firm

What Sets Us Apart

• Forward-Thinking Approach. We embrace new technologies and methodologies to work smarter, not harder. No “we’ve always done it this way” mentality here.
• Community Investment. Our leadership is deeply involved in the Tampa business community and professional organizations, providing extensive networking opportunities.
• Professional Development Focus. We invest in our people’s growth through training, conference attendance, and clear advancement pathways.
• Collaborative Culture. While we maintain high professional standards, we’ve created an environment where people genuinely enjoy working together and supporting each other’s success.

Benefits & Compensation

• Competitive base salary up to $150,000
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Comprehensive health benefits package
• Professional development allowance
• Flexible work arrangements
• Generous PTO policy

Ready to Make a Move?

If you’re tired of the traditional public accounting grind but still want challenging, high-level work, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to join a firm that’s proving you can have sophisticated client work, professional growth, and quality of life.
