Senior Tax Manager / Tax Director
Gables Search Group
Santa Clara, CA
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.
