What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Tax Manager position at Distinct Recruitment?
Already operating above your title
Coming out of busy season, you’ve probably had a moment where you’ve thought…
“I’m already operating at a higher level than my title suggests”
Or
“If I actually had the authority here, I’d run things differently”
That’s the gap this role is built for.
This isn’t about adding more work to your plate.
It’s about giving you the seat at the table that matches the level you’re already operating at.
This is a Senior Tax Manager role within a well established Sarasota CPA firm that has been around for over 50 years.
Strong client base. Low turnover. No mess to fix.
The opportunity is straightforward.
Step into a leadership position where your decisions actually carry weight.

Developing staff and raising standards
Improving processes where needed
Working closely with Partners on key decisions
You’re not there to just review and sign off.
You’re there to lead.

The setup

What’s in it for you

The honest bit
If you’re happy where you are and not looking to step into something bigger, this probably isn’t for you.
If you’ve been waiting for the chance to lead properly rather than just carry more work, this is worth a conversation.
You don’t need to tick every box.
