What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Manager position at Distinct | North America?
Are you starting to feel like progression keeps getting pushed back?
Maybe you're ready for more client ownership, closer relationships with Partners, and a clearer path towards the next step. Not just another conversation about where you could be in a few years.
This independent CPA firm has been established for more than 40 years and has no intention of being acquired.
While many firms continue to merge or take on private equity investment, they've deliberately chosen a different path. They're growing organically, winning new clients, and investing in the people who'll help lead the firm in the future.
In fact, much of that growth has come from clients leaving larger firms in search of something more personal. They want accessible advisers, responsive service and long term relationships. That's exactly where this firm stands out.
Growth creates opportunity.
The Partner group is strong. The Senior team is strong. What they need now is the next generation of leaders.
You'll work alongside Partners, not underneath layers of Directors and Senior Managers. You'll build your own client relationships, lead conversations and gradually take on more responsibility as your career develops.
If Partnership is something you want, there is a genuine route to get there.
The client base is broad, and there's flexibility depending on your background.
If you're a generalist, you'll work across closely held businesses, S Corps, partnerships, planning projects, consulting work and M&A exposure.
If your experience leans more towards high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, you'll find plenty of opportunity there too. Their private client practice continues to grow, with clients ranging from successful business owners to multi generational families.
This is a firm for people who enjoy building relationships with clients, solving problems and becoming a trusted adviser, rather than simply delivering compliance work.
If you have experience with compilations and financial statements, that's another area where the firm continues to grow.
Several of the Partners joined from larger firm backgrounds because they wanted to build something different.
Equally, if you've built your career in a smaller firm but feel you've reached a ceiling, this gives you the chance to keep that close knit environment while opening up much greater long term opportunities.
If you enjoy public accounting, want to keep developing your career and like the idea of helping shape the future of an independent CPA firm, I'd be happy to tell you more.
