Title: Sr. Dr. Client Tax Services
Location: Scottsdale, AZ
Compensation: $160-200k
This is the operational and technical backbone of our clients brand-new Tax Services division. You will own client delivery, lead a small team, and drive high-quality compliance and advisory work while the practice scales at speed.
Reporting to the VP of Tax Services and partnering closely with senior leadership, this role is for someone who wants real ownership. Someone ready to dig in, build from the ground up, and make things happen. You will help shape pricing, the service model, workflows, technology decisions, and the first wave of clients. Do it well and the path to VP is clear.
This is not a corporate tax seat. We need a hands-on leader who has grown a tax practice or book serving SMB and mid-market business owners ($1M–$100M). Big-company Head of Tax experience rarely translates here.
Our Client partners with business owners to scale companies and build generational wealth. We already serve an active ecosystem of 500–600 clients and host roughly 150 events a year where tax consistently ranks as a top need. Demand is real and leads are plentiful.
The Tax Services practice is just being built. There is no existing headcount and no fully defined pricing or delivery model. You will create it alongside leadership that moves fast and expects results. Year-one target: $5–8M in practice revenue.
The culture is high-energy, high-performance, and entrepreneurial. People here start, own outcomes, and keep raising the bar. We need someone who matches that drive — curious, grounded, and relentless about getting the work done at a high level.
