We’re partnering with a highly respected, fast-growing regional CPA firm that is expanding its tax practice and seeking an experienced Tax Director to join its leadership team.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a tax professional looking for long-term growth, strong compensation, and a clearly defined path to Partnership within a firm that genuinely prioritizes work-life balance and employee development.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Hybrid work flexibility
  • Competitive compensation with substantial bonus potential
  • 5% employer 401(k) contribution
  • Exposure to both SEC and closely held clients across a variety of industries
  • Clear and accelerated path to Partnership
  • Collaborative, supportive, and growth-focused culture

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, review, and oversee complex tax engagements and returns
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to clients and internal teams on tax matters
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships through exceptional service
  • Develop and implement strategic tax planning solutions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Assurance & Advisory teams
  • Manage workflow and delegate responsibilities across tax staff and seniors
  • Represent clients before taxing authorities as needed
  • Stay current on evolving tax laws and regulations and advise clients accordingly
  • Mentor, coach, and develop high-performing tax professionals
  • Support business development initiatives and contribute to firm growth

Qualifications

  • 7–10+ years of progressive public accounting tax experience
  • Strong background in complex tax engagements and client advisory services
  • Proven experience leading, mentoring, and developing staff
  • Experience representing clients before taxing authorities
  • Active CPA license in good standing
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; Master’s in Taxation preferred

Additional Details

  • Occasional travel for client meetings and firm events
  • Some overtime required throughout the year
  • Busy season (January–April) may require 55+ hour workweeks

If you’re ready to take the next step into firm leadership with a realistic and attainable path to Partnership, we’d love to connect.
