Tax Manager

Distinct | North America
Shelton, CT Full Time
POSTED ON 5/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/14/2026

Starting out at a small firm often makes sense. You gain broad exposure, work across various industries and learn quickly.


But at a certain point, breadth can start to limit depth.


You may look ahead and realize progression is slow, not because of performance, but because the structure above you is fixed. Specialization feels harder. The next step less clear.


Going straight to the Big Four can feel like too big a jump and the hours will be long.

This firm sits comfortably in between. A large national firm, big enough to offer real progression and specialization, yet small enough that Partner access and visibility still matter.


Flexible, hybrid working schedules and excellent benefits that align with the large firms.


They have Tax Manager openings across their office locations in NYC and CT. Partner track is available for those who want it, while a long term Manager or Senior Manager path is equally respected.


It is a move designed not to overwhelm, but to unlock the next stage of your career.

How to Apply


Here’s the thing about job applications. Many people overthink them. It’s easy to assume you need to tick every single box before applying, but that’s not how we work.


If this role catches your interest, just go ahead and apply. Clicking “apply” isn’t a lifelong commitment; it’s simply the first step in a conversation.


Prefer a more personal connection? Feel free to give me a call at 646-681-4031

Worried you don’t check every single requirement? That’s absolutely fine. The CPA firms we work with value people who bring different perspectives and experience. At the end of the day, the worst-case scenario is simply a friendly conversation about your career. The best-case? Something genuinely exciting.
