Lead the Next Phase of Growth for One of America's Largest Tax Franchise Brands

ATAX is looking for a growth-minded CEO to lead and scale a nationally recognized franchise organization serving communities across the United States.

This is more than an executive leadership role. It's an opportunity to shape the future of a respected brand, expand its national footprint, strengthen franchisee success, and drive innovation across a thriving network of entrepreneurs.

We're seeking a strategic, hands-on leader who understands franchising, business growth, operational excellence, and relationship building. The ideal candidate is energized by helping franchise owners succeed while identifying new opportunities to grow the brand and enter new markets.

If you thrive in a high-impact environment where your leadership can directly influence the success of hundreds of business owners and thousands of clients, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Drive the Future of the Brand

• Develop and execute the strategic vision for ATAX
• Identify opportunities for growth, innovation, and market expansion
• Lead initiatives that strengthen brand positioning and competitive advantage
• Guide long-term planning while maintaining operational excellence

Champion Franchisee Success

• Lead the team responsible for supporting franchisees nationwide
• Ensure franchise owners have the tools, training, systems, and resources needed to thrive
• Build strong relationships across the franchise network
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Expand the Franchise Network

• Drive franchise development and growth initiatives
• Identify and evaluate new markets and expansion opportunities
• Support franchise recruitment efforts and successful onboarding of new owners
• Help create an environment where franchisees can achieve long-term profitability

Lead a High-Performing Organization

• Inspire and develop a talented team of professionals
• Align operations, marketing, training, technology, and finance around strategic goals
• Oversee budgeting, financial planning, and organizational performance
• Implement scalable processes and technology solutions that support future growth

Represent the Brand

• Serve as a visible leader within the franchising and financial services industries
• Build relationships with key partners, vendors, and stakeholders
• Represent ATAX at conferences, industry events, and leadership forums

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

• You think like an owner and lead like a coach.
• You balance strategic vision with practical execution.
• You enjoy building systems, developing people, and driving measurable results.
• You know how to scale organizations while maintaining strong culture and operational discipline.
• You are passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed.

What We're Looking For

• Executive leadership experience within franchising, multi-unit operations, financial services, professional services, or related industries
• Demonstrated success leading organizations through growth and expansion
• Experience supporting franchisees, business owners, or distributed operating models
• Strong financial and operational leadership capabilities
• Proven ability to implement scalable systems, processes, and technology
• Exceptional communication, relationship-building, and leadership skills
• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or relevant certifications are a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Lead an established and growing national franchise organization
• Directly influence the success of franchise owners across the country
• Opportunity to shape strategy, innovation, and long-term growth
• Work remotely while making a nationwide impact
• Join a mission-driven organization focused on helping communities access trusted tax and financial services
