What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Manager position at Distinct | North America?
Tax Manager
International tax is demanding work — the kind that requires precision, judgment, and the ability to interpret rules most people will never read.
Finding a role that lets you do that without sacrificing your evenings is rare.
This one strikes that balance.
This Sarasota firm blends technical depth with a genuinely human approach: challenging projects, global clients, and a structure built to keep talented people long-term.
What You’ll Get
A true 37.5-hour workweek — not a marketing line
Busy season capped at 55–60 hours
Hybrid work with boundaries that are respected
Overtime that converts to PTO (your time actually comes back to you)
Paid professional development, training, and CPA licensing support
A clear path to senior leadership in a growing international practice
A team that values excellence without ego
This is one of the few firms where you can build deep technical expertise and keep your sanity.
The Important Parts of the Role
Lead compliance for clients with global structures
Review highly complex international disclosures (5471, 8865, 8992, 8621, etc.)
Navigate GILTI, Subpart F, FTCs, treaties, and PFIC calculations
Collaborate with attorneys, wealth planners, and global advisors
Support the development of junior staff and contribute to a strong technical culture
This is technical, meaningful work — the kind that sharpens your international tax brain fast.
What You’ll Bring
Experience with international forms, disclosures, and cross-border issues
Confidence reviewing complex calculations and entity structures
A collaborative approach when working with attorneys and advisors
A detail-oriented mindset suited to high-calibre international tax work
CPA, EA, or relevant advanced tax coursework preferred
If you want a role with serious international depth and the balance to enjoy life outside of it, this is one of the strongest opportunities in the Sarasota market.
Salary : $110,000 - $130,000
