What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Supervisor position at Distinct | North America?
Stepping up shouldn’t mean burning out.
But a lot of the time, it does.
More responsibility. More pressure. Same level of control.
If you’ve just come out of busy season feeling like you were already doing the job above you without the title or recognition, this will land.
That’s exactly why this role exists.
The firm has a solid team in place, but there’s a gap between Senior and Manager level.
Work is getting reviewed. Clients are being handled.
But they need someone in the middle who can take real ownership and bridge that properly.
Not just do more work.
Actually lead it.
The firm
Established for 50 years in Sarasota with around 140 people across three offices.
Structured enough to support you. Small enough that you’re still visible.
The role
You’ll step into a position where you’re trusted to run things day to day.
Leading engagements
Reviewing returns
Supporting and developing junior staff
Speaking directly with clients
Working closely with Managers and Shareholders who are present and accessible

Strong tax fundamentals across individual and business work
CPA preferred, not essential

What stands out

There’s structure, support, and a clear path forward without unnecessary layers.
You’ll get exposure and responsibility, but within a team that actually works together.

37.5 hours outside of busy season
Busy season is busy, but controlled
Hybrid working available
Overtime is either paid or taken back
The reality
