What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Director position at Distinct | North America?
There’s something quietly revolutionary about a CPA firm that doesn’t demand you trade your evenings, weekends, and will to live in return for career progression.
This 25-person firm in Westwood, MA believes good work happens when people aren’t exhausted and that trust is a better management system than micromanagement.
You’ll work hard, of course. It’s public accounting, not yoga. But you’ll do it in a place where 50–60 hours is considered “very busy,” March 15th isn't too intense, and July and august come with Fridays off.
No private equity. No merger plans. Just a steady, independent firm that values consistency, human decency, and the idea that people who like their jobs tend to do them better.
If you’re a Senior Tax Manager or Tax Director, you’ll:
- Lead a mix of corp, partnership, trust, and individual work
- Build relationships with clients who actually know your name
- Mentor the next wave of accountants coming through
- Step onto a genuine path to partnership — one that doesn’t require selling your soul
Why people love working here:
- True flexibility. You’re trusted to get it done, not chained to a desk.
- Family-first culture. Leave for the basketball game; the work will wait.
- Blue Cross Blue Shield $500/quarter reimbursement
- 401(k) with Roth 3% match
- Summer Fridays, free parking, paid CPE, and no dress code.
- A managing partner who leads with kindness, not KPIs.
It’s a small firm that behaves like a smart one, where culture isn’t a marketing line, and partnership is a promise, not a carrot.
Hybrid schedule. Westwood office.
