Tax Manager - CPA or Enrolled Agent
Dishion & Hurst CPAs
Louisville, KY / Jeffersonville, IN
Full-Time
Job Description
Dishion & Hurst CPAs is looking for an experienced Tax Manager to join our growing firm.
This role is for an experienced tax professional who is ready to manage their own book of clients with a high degree of independence. You will serve as the primary contact for your clients, manage tax engagements from start to finish, and take ownership of deadlines, planning, and client relationships.
We are not looking to micromanage an experienced professional. We want someone we can trust to take care of their clients, exercise good professional judgment, and keep their work moving without significant day-to-day supervision.
You will still have the support of partners and other experienced professionals whenever a complex or unusual issue arises. The goal is autonomy, not isolation.
What You'll Do
- Manage your own portfolio of individual and business tax clients
- Serve as the primary point of contact for your clients
- Prepare and review individual and business income tax returns, including Forms 1040, 1120S, 1065, 1120, 990, and 1041
- Manage tax engagements from information gathering through completion
- Review tax returns and work prepared by other team members
- Identify tax planning opportunities and proactively communicate with clients
- Prepare tax projections and estimated tax calculations
- Assist clients with IRS and state notices and other tax matters
- Manage deadlines, extensions, client follow-up, and your overall workload
- Work directly with business owners on tax and accounting matters
- Consult with partners on complex or unusual tax issues
What We're Looking For
- CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA)
- Significant public accounting tax experience
- Strong individual and business tax preparation and review experience
- Experience independently managing client relationships
- Ability to manage a portfolio of clients without significant day-to-day supervision
- Strong understanding of federal and state taxation
- Good professional judgment and problem-solving skills
- Strong organizational and deadline-management skills
- Clear, professional client communication
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership. If you're accustomed to managing your clients, making decisions, solving problems, and knowing when something needs to be elevated for discussion, you'll fit well in this role.
Why Dishion & Hurst CPAs?
We believe experienced professionals should be trusted to do their jobs.
You'll have your own clients and meaningful control over how you manage those relationships. We don't want unnecessary layers of review or partners looking over your shoulder on routine matters.
At the same time, you'll have a team behind you. When you encounter a difficult tax issue or unusual client situation, you'll have other experienced professionals available to work through it with you.
We offer the opportunity to have the autonomy and client relationships that often come with running your own practice without having to actually run one.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Four weeks of paid time off
- Flexible work environment
- Hybrid work opportunities
- Reduced summer schedule
- Continuing education and professional development support
- Long-term growth opportunities within a growing CPA firm
