What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Director position at Distinct | North America?
Tax Director
North Dallas, TX
$200,000 to $250,000
If you are good enough to be a Tax Director, you are probably past the point of wanting just a bigger title
At this level, the question changes.
It is no longer just about compensation or seniority. It becomes about the quality of the client base, the level of trust you are given, and whether the role actually leads somewhere meaningful.
This opportunity is with an established Texas CPA firm in North Dallas with a strong mix of tax, accounting, audit, review, and bookkeeping services. The client base includes high net worth individuals alongside businesses across sectors such as oil and gas, healthcare, and hospitality, which gives the role the kind of breadth and depth that keeps it interesting.
What makes this one stand out is the level of role you can build inside it.
This is a Tax Director position for someone who wants real influence, close client relationships, and the chance to play a visible part in the future direction of the firm. In a firm like this, your work is not hidden. Your judgment matters. Your relationships matter. And if you are looking for something with substance rather than just another senior title, that tends to matter a lot.
The client base is broad enough to keep things interesting, but personal enough that the work still feels connected. This is not about sitting at arm’s length from clients and simply keeping work moving. It is about being a senior voice, helping clients think ahead, supporting the team beneath you, and playing a bigger role in how the practice grows over time.
For the right person, that is where the appeal sits.
Why this role stands out
A genuine senior leadership role with visible impact inside the firm
An established Texas client base across individuals and diverse businesses

What they are looking for
Strong public accounting tax experience at Director level, or a very strong Senior Manager ready to step up
Someone who is credible with clients and comfortable leading relationships
A strong technical grounding with the ability to think commercially as well
Someone who wants influence, not just responsibility
