  • At least 2 years experience representing clients before taxing authorities.
  • Minimum 1 year supervisory experience managing tax preparers.
  • Bachelors degree in Accounting required; Masters in Taxation preferred.
  • Strong communication, leadership, and technical tax skills.
Why is This a Great Opportunity:
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Leadership Opportunity: Directly manage and mentor staff while overseeing complex client engagements.
  • Client-Facing Responsibility: Take ownership of client relationships and tax planning initiatives.
  • Professional Growth: Expand your leadership role while maintaining hands-on technical work.
  • Competitive Pay: $112,000 $125,000 annually with overtime eligibility during peak season.
  • Flexibility: Hybrid work arrangement designed to support balance and productivity.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated tax professional looking to step into a supervisory leadership role with impact, growth, and client interaction.
