Tax Manager

Tax Manager – Veris | The Proactive CPA

Charleston, SC | Full-Time | Hybrid/Flexible

You’ve built your tax experience. You know how to manage deadlines, review work, navigate complex tax issues, and take care of clients. Now you may be looking for a place where you can take on more ownership, continue growing, and have a path toward Partnership while still having a life outside of work.

As our team grows, we’re looking for an experienced Tax Manager to manage a book of business, work closely with our Partners and Tax leadership, develop and delegate to our growing team, and help us continue building strong client relationships. For the right candidate, this role offers long-term advancement potential, including the opportunity to grow into a Partner role.

This position will primarily support our Mount Pleasant office, with the flexibility to split time between our Mount Pleasant and West Ashley offices. Relocation assistance is also available for candidates interested in joining us from outside the Charleston area.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

We know you have options. We’ve worked hard to build a firm where you can continue growing your career without giving up everything outside of it. Veris is an award-winning CPA and advisory firm, and there’s a reason we’ve been recognized as a Best Place to Work — our people. We value great people, teamwork, empathy, adaptability, and optimism. You’ll work alongside leaders who trust you to do your job without micromanaging and teammates who are willing to jump in when someone needs a hand.

We take our work seriously, but we also believe you should be able to build a great career and have a life outside of it.

Here’s what else you can expect:

• Path to Partnership — long-term advancement opportunity for the right candidate.
