Job description

Amy did a client meeting in a Zoom window, then hit the gym over lunch. At most firms that'd be a flex day. Here it's just called lunch.

Instead of dealing with daily traffic, regular distractions, and busy seasons that keep you from interacting with those you care about.

You could be working for a remote first public accounting firm, that knows how to grow without taking on PE money.

Instead they've been growing organically for decades, operating under a normal llp. So the partner track still ends in ownership here, because there's still something to own.

Tax Manager is more than a title, you'll move away from preparing, and instead focus more time on mentorship, reviews, client development.

Most of the clients are privately owned businesses and the families that own them. Car dealerships, and construction companies, real estate investors, manufacturers, doctors, and law firms make up a majority of the client type.

Over 60% of the companies book have been clients for over 20 years, so the work ends up being more than annual returns, strategic conversations around estate planning and the sale of the business are part of the work too.

This is a remote role with a preference for candidates based in the Los Angeles Metro, candidates in California with a public accounting background are also encouraged to apply.

What makes a candidate stand out:

• Recent public accounting experience at the Manager level
• Active CPA license
• Proven ability to lead seniors and supervisors through full engagements
• Experience managing a book of tax clients across industries
• Stability in job tenure (everyone gets a mulligan)
