Job description

Tax Manager | New Haven, CT | Public Accounting

Flexible salary depending on experience. 401(k) with matching, health insurance, life insurance, vision insurance and ongoing training and development.

Some Tax Managers love tax. What they don't necessarily love is being micromanaged while doing it.

I'm working with a public accounting firm in New Haven, CT that's looking for an experienced Tax Manager who knows their stuff and enjoys being trusted to get on with it.

The firm works with high net worth individuals, closely held businesses and a varied portfolio of clients, providing tax, accounting, business management and advisory services.

What's the job?

It's a good mix of hands on tax work, client relationships and leading a team.

You’ll be reviewing complex 1040, 1065 and 1120S returns, alongside estate, trust, corporate and gift tax work.

There's also plenty of opportunity to get involved in tax planning, projections, financial forecasting and advisory work.

You’ll have the autonomy to manage your own workload, develop junior accountants and improve how things are done.

What are they looking for?

• 6+ years of tax experience, ideally within public accounting.
• Strong individual, partnership and S Corp tax experience.
• Confidence preparing and reviewing complex returns.
• Experience with tax planning, research and client advisory.
• Someone who enjoys mentoring staff and taking ownership.

A bookkeeping background would be useful too.

And the working environment?

The firm places a real emphasis on creating a positive, supportive environment where people can develop their careers.

It's a Monday to Friday position, with additional hours during tax season.

If you're an experienced tax professional who enjoys the technical work but wants more independence, variety and responsibility, this could be worth a conversation.
