Remote Tax Manager | Independent CPA Firm | Partner Track | Work-Life Balance

Tax Manager | Independent Partner-Owned CPA Firm | True Work-Life Balance

Location: 100% Remote (Must be located in the US & authorized)

Compensation: Up to $175k base + 10–15% discretionary bonus + future equity opportunity

Requirements: 5–10+ years tax experience, CPA Required

We are a nationally recognized, partner-owned CPA and advisory firm with roots going back more than five decades—serving privately held businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and not-for-profit organizations across the country. We are hiring a Tax Manager to join a growing tax practice in a fully remote capacity, with an eye toward someone who wants to build something lasting—not just a job.

This is not a revolving door. With a median employee tenure approaching 8 years and a culture that has been built deliberately over generations, this is a firm where careers are made—not just started.

And if you've been watching firms around you get swallowed up by private equity or absorbed into a national platform—this is the alternative. This firm is independently owned, has zero interest in PE investment or acquisition, and intends to stay that way. That means the close-knit culture, the quality-first client relationships, and the autonomy you value aren't going anywhere.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in the US, in your own time zone, on a schedule that works for you. Roughly 40% of the team operates fully remotely.
• Compensation: Up to $175k base + 10–15% discretionary bonus, plus profit sharing and a clear path to future equity.
• Busy Season That Actually Ends: Max hours during busy season cap at 55 hours per week.
• Succession Planning Opportunity: Genuine advancement opportunities from Manager to Senior Manager to Partner.
• Future Equity: The firm believes in building ownership for the people who build the firm.

Benefits That Are Actually Generous

• Medical coverage 100% employer-paid for you and all dependents.
• 401(k) with 5% employer match.
• Firm-wide profit-sharing program.
• Full reimbursement for certifications, continuing education, and professional development.
• Annual firm-wide trip to a top destination.
• All-expenses-paid post-season gatherings.
• Ranked among the top 100 accounting and advisory firms in the US (Accounting Today, 2024).
• 18%+ growth over the last two years.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and manage tax compliance and planning for a portfolio of closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Lead client relationships with a quality-first, relationship-driven approach.
• Mentor and develop junior staff; participate in training and team development.
• Identify tax planning opportunities and proactively advise clients on evolving tax law.
• Collaborate with partners and senior leadership on firm growth initiatives and client strategy.

Qualifications

• Active CPA License.
• 5–10+ years of public accounting experience, with meaningful tax review and management experience.
• Strong foundation in pass-through entities, closely held businesses, and/or HNW individual taxation.
• Excellent client communication and relationship management skills.
• Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment.
