Senior Tax Manager (Business Advisory) - Remote

Help Business Owners Build Wealth - Not Just Tax Returns.

Are you tired of spending busy season cranking out returns without having the opportunity to truly help your clients?

At Action Accounting & Advisory, we believe accountants should be trusted advisors—not just tax preparers.

We're a growing, advisory-focused accounting firm based in the Tampa Bay area, helping entrepreneurs and business owners reduce taxes, improve profitability, and build more valuable businesses. We combine tax planning, bookkeeping, accounting, and business advisory into one proactive client experience.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Tax Manager who enjoys solving complex tax issues, building client relationships, mentoring others, and identifying opportunities that make a real difference for clients.

If you're looking for a firm where your ideas matter, technology is embraced, and your career can continue to grow, we'd love to meet you.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a position where you'll simply prepare tax returns and move on to the next one.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Advise business owners throughout the year—not just during tax season.
• Identify proactive tax-saving strategies.
• Help shape and improve firm processes.
• Mentor and develop junior team members.
• Work with modern technology and AI tools that help you work smarter.
• Be part of a collaborative leadership team that's focused on continuous improvement.

This is a fully remote position. While our firm is based in the Tampa Bay area, we welcome qualified candidates who are authorized to work in the United States.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and review Individual (Form 1040), Partnership (Form 1065), S Corporation (Form 1120-S), and Corporate (Form 1120) tax returns.
• Review staff-prepared returns and provide coaching and constructive feedback.
• Meet with clients regarding tax planning, compliance, and year-round tax strategies.
• Identify proactive tax-saving opportunities for business owners.

• Obtain and maintain IRS Powers of Attorney (Form 2848) when needed and communicate directly with the IRS to resolve client matters.
• Work closely with our bookkeeping and advisory teams to deliver exceptional client service.
• Improve internal processes and workflows that increase efficiency and consistency.
• Utilize AI and technology to improve productivity and enhance the client experience.
• Mentor junior staff members and contribute to a positive team culture.
