Tax Manager

Tax Manager | $110,000–$140,000 | Raleigh, NC (Hybrid)

There’s a difference between preparing someone’s taxes and actually helping them pay less tax.

This Tax Manager opportunity is much more focused on the second.

You’ll join a growing tax and financial advisory practice in Raleigh, working directly with business owners, high-income individuals and investors across compliance, tax planning and longer-term wealth strategies.

The role combines technical tax work with proactive advice, giving you the opportunity to understand what clients are trying to achieve and help structure things before year-end rather than simply reporting what already happened.

Why this role stands out:

• $110,000–$140,000 salary
• Hybrid working
• Raleigh location
• Strong tax planning and advisory focus
• Business owner and high-net-worth client base
• Individual and business taxation
• Pass-through entity exposure
• Multistate tax opportunities
• Real estate investor exposure
• Entity structuring and optimization
• Estate and wealth planning exposure
• Direct client relationships
• Opportunity to mentor and develop tax staff
• Close involvement with senior leadership
• Broader financial planning exposure beyond traditional tax compliance

What you’ll be doing:

• Manage federal and state tax engagements for individuals and privately owned businesses
• Review individual, partnership and S Corporation tax returns
• Manage more complex pass-through entity matters
• Provide year-round tax planning rather than purely seasonal compliance
• Prepare and review tax projections
• Advise business owners on tax-efficient entity structures
• Identify opportunities to reduce current and future tax liabilities
• Work with high-income individuals on more complex planning matters
• Advise real estate investors on depreciation and other tax strategies
• Handle multistate tax considerations
• Support clients approaching the sale or succession of a business
• Become involved in charitable giving and wealth-transfer strategies
• Coordinate tax planning with retirement, investment and estate objectives
• Manage client relationships throughout the year
• Research technical tax issues and legislative changes
• Review staff work and provide technical guidance
• Mentor and develop members of the tax team
• Work closely with senior leadership on more complex client situations

What they’re looking for:

• 5 years of U.S. tax/public accounting experience
• Previous Tax Manager or strong Tax Supervisor experience
• CPA or EA preferred
• Strong individual and business tax knowledge
• Experience with Forms 1040, 1065 and 1120S
• Strong partnership and S Corporation experience
• Experience working with business owners and high-net-worth individuals
• Tax planning and advisory experience
• Multistate tax experience would be valuable
• Real estate tax exposure would be an asset
• Experience with trusts, estates or wealth planning would be beneficial
• Comfortable managing client relationships directly
• Experience reviewing staff work and developing junior team members
• Someone who enjoys proactive planning rather than purely compliance-driven tax work
• Previous public accounting experience strongly preferred
