Senior Tax Manager / Tax Director

Gables Search Group
Santa Clara, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/31/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/29/2026
I’m working with a highly respected, fast-growing regional CPA firm that is expanding its tax practice and looking to add a Tax Director to the team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking leadership, strong compensation, and a clear path to Partnership—all within a firm that truly values work-life balance.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Hybrid flexibility (work from home office)
  • Competitive compensation significant bonus potential
  • 5% employer 401(k) contribution
  • Exposure to both SEC and closely held clients across diverse industries
  • Clear, fast-track path to Partnership
  • Supportive, growth-oriented culture

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and review complex tax engagements and returns
  • Serve as a subject matter expert for clients and internal teams
  • Own client relationships and deliver high-quality service
  • Drive tax planning strategies and collaborate with A&A teams
  • Manage and delegate large engagements to tax staff
  • Represent clients before taxing authorities when needed
  • Stay ahead of tax law changes and advise clients accordingly
  • Mentor, coach, and develop high-performing teams
  • Contribute to business development and firm growth

What You Bring

  • 7–10 years of public accounting experience with progressive tax responsibility
  • Experience with complex tax engagements and client advisory
  • Prior experience supervising and developing staff
  • Experience representing clients before taxing authorities
  • CPA license (active and in good standing)
  • Bachelor’s in Accounting (Master’s in Taxation preferred)

What To Expect

  • Occasional travel for client meetings and events
  • Some overtime throughout the year
  • Busy season (Jan–April) may require 55 hours/week

If you’re ready to step into a leadership role with a clear path to Partnership, let’s connect.
