Job description

Tax Partner | Equity Opportunity | Cleveland, OH

Build a Practice. Influence a Firm. Become an Owner.

An established Cleveland CPA firm is seeking an experienced Tax Partner to help lead and expand one of Northeast Ohio's premier middle-market tax practices.

This is more than a leadership role—it's an opportunity to work alongside the Managing Partner, inherit an established client base, expand a thriving manufacturing practice, and play a key role in shaping the future of the firm.

Whether you're already a Partner seeking greater autonomy or a Tax Director ready to step into ownership, this opportunity offers a genuine path to long-term success.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Immediate leadership role within an established tax practice
• Opportunity to build and expand your own client portfolio
• Strong manufacturing and middle-market client base
• Direct partnership with firm leadership
• Competitive compensation, significant signing bonus, and equity participation

Compensation & Partnership

• Competitive 1st year compensation
• Performance-based bonus
• Equity participation or accelerated path to equity

What You'll Lead

• Manage and grow a successful manufacturing-focused tax practice
• Serve as a trusted advisor to privately held businesses
• Review complex tax engagements involving corporations, partnerships, trusts, nonprofits, and high-net-worth individuals
• Provide advanced tax planning and technical guidance
• Mentor and develop future tax leaders
• Expand client relationships and support strategic business development throughout Northeast Ohio

What We're Looking For

• Active CPA
• 10–15+ years in public accounting
• Strong experience with privately held businesses
• Expertise in pass-through entities, S-Corporations, partnerships, and high-net-worth clients
• Demonstrated client relationship and business development skills
• Collaborative leadership style with experience mentoring tax professionals

Experience with a regional or Big Four accounting firm is highly preferred.

Who This Role Is Ideal For

• Tax Directors ready to become Partner
• Existing Partners seeking greater influence and autonomy
• Senior tax leaders looking to build and grow a practice within a respected regional firm
