Tax Manager

Job description:

What makes us different?

Unlike traditional firms that rely on heavy billable-hour requirements, we focus on smart, efficient workflows and healthy balance, while still recognizing that busy seasons happen. We’ve built a culture that thrives on teamwork, collaboration, and real work-life balance, not the 60 billable-hour grind that many CPAs are used to.

We work hard, we play hard, and we genuinely enjoy solving problems together. If you’re looking for a place where you can continue developing strong technical skills, contribute in a meaningful way, and be part of a team that values both excellence and people, we strongly encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities:

· Review business and individual tax returns (1065, 1120, 1120S, 1040, 1041, 5471/5472, etc.) for accuracy, completeness, and compliance.

· Prepare more advanced or specialized returns as needed.

· Identify tax-saving opportunities and ensure proper tax positions.

· Research complex issues; document positions and ensure federal/state/local compliance.

· Maintain organized workpapers; communicate directly with clients on status and deliverables.

· Stay updated on new tax law changes and ensure timely implementation within the firm’s processes.

· Communicate proactively regarding deadlines, deliverables, tax positions, and planning opportunities.

· Explain complex tax matters in a client-friendly way.

· Build and maintain strong client relationships and ensure high-quality client service.

· Mentor and support staff, seniors, and interns in developing their technical and soft skills.

· Assist in developing and improving the firm’s internal processes, templates, and workflows.

· Help implement technology solutions that enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Requirements:

· Active Florida CPA license required.

· Master’s in Taxation (MST) strongly preferred; Master’s in Accounting accepted with strong tax background.

· 5 years of recent public accounting tax experience with demonstrated experience reviewing returns and managing engagements.

· Proficiency with modern tax preparation software and Excel; strong written/verbal communication.

Schedule: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM (1-hour lunch) is standard, but we are flexible. Onsite only (no remote)

Benefits: 100% employer-paid health insurance for employees; 401(k) match; PTO (vacation sick)
