Build Relationships. Deliver Strategy. Shape the Future.

At Magone & Company, we believe great tax professionals do more than prepare and review tax returns—they become trusted advisors who help businesses and individuals make smarter financial decisions.

As a growing public accounting firm, we partner with privately held businesses, business owners, and individuals to provide proactive tax planning, strategic guidance, and practical solutions that extend far beyond compliance.

If you're looking for a role focused solely on tax return preparation and review, this may not be the right fit.

If you're excited about building long-term client relationships, delivering strategic tax advice, expanding your advisory skills, participating in business development, and helping shape the future of a growing CPA firm, we'd love to meet you.

About The Role

We're seeking an experienced Tax Manager to lead tax compliance and planning engagements while serving as a trusted advisor to our clients. You'll work directly with business owners, executives, and high-net-worth individuals, helping them navigate complex tax issues and make informed financial decisions.

This role goes well beyond compliance. You'll collaborate with clients throughout the year, provide proactive planning, identify opportunities to improve their businesses, mentor and develop staff, and help expand our firm's advisory services.

You'll also have meaningful exposure to firm leadership, business development, process improvement, and long-term career advancement while helping shape the future of our growing tax practice.

Why You'll Love It Here

At Magone & Company, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Build trusted relationships with business owners, executives, and high-net-worth individuals
• Develop proactive tax strategies that support clients' long-term business and financial goals
• Become a valued advisor by delivering practical guidance beyond tax compliance
• Participate in business development by strengthening existing client relationships and identifying opportunities to provide additional advisory, accounting, audit, and consulting services
• Collaborate directly with Partners on strategic client initiatives and complex tax matters
• Mentor and develop talented professionals while helping shape the next generation of leaders
• Leverage technology, AI, and automation to improve efficiency and enhance the client experience
• Gain exposure to multi-state, international, and sophisticated tax planning opportunities

What You'll Do

• Review complex individual, partnership, S corporation, C corporation, trust, and other business tax returns
• Develop and implement proactive tax planning strategies for business and individual clients
• Serve as the primary relationship manager for a portfolio of clients, providing responsive guidance throughout the year
• Advise clients on entity structure, business transactions, tax-saving opportunities, and emerging legislation
• Identify opportunities to expand client relationships through advisory, accounting, audit, outsourced accounting, and consulting services
• Lead client meetings and communicate complex tax concepts in a practical, understandable manner
• Mentor, coach, and develop tax professionals while fostering a collaborative, high-performing team
• Collaborate with Partners on business development, firm initiatives, and strategic growth
• Drive process improvements through technology, automation, and innovation

What You'll Bring

• CPA license required
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting (Master's in Taxation or related field is a plus)
• 7+ years of progressive public accounting tax experience
• Strong knowledge of federal, state, and local tax compliance and planning
• Experience reviewing complex individual and business tax returns
