Senior Tax Manager
 
Boutique Tax & Advisory Firm (High-Touch, Growth-Focused)
 
Position Overview
 
We are seeking a Senior Tax Manager to lead our tax review, planning, and client advisory functions within a high-growth, boutique tax and accounting firm.
 
This role is designed for a technically strong, client-facing leader who can own the review process, develop staff, and deliver proactive tax strategy to business owners and high-income individuals.
 
The ideal candidate thrives in a high-performance, relationship-driven environment and is motivated by building systems, improving processes, and elevating client experience.
 

 
Key Responsibilities
 
1. Tax Review & Compliance Oversight
    •    Review complex business and individual tax returns (1120S, 1065, 1120, 1040)
    •    Ensure accuracy, completeness, and strategic optimization of all filings
    •    Reduce review notes and rework through team training and systems
    •    Maintain firm-wide quality control standards
 

 
2. Tax Planning & Advisory
    •    Lead and deliver proactive tax planning for business owners and high-net-worth clients
    •    Identify and implement advanced strategies (entity structuring, 199A, compensation optimization, etc.)
    •    Collaborate with bookkeeping and CFO services to ensure planning is data-driven
    •    Participate in client strategy meetings and year-round advisory
 

 
3. Team Leadership & Development
    •    Manage and mentor tax staff and preparers
    •    Train team on technical tax matters and firm processes
    •    Improve staff efficiency, accuracy, and independence
    •    Conduct performance reviews and contribute to hiring decisions
 

 
4. Workflow & Process Management
    •    Oversee return workflow from preparation to final delivery
    •    Identify bottlenecks and implement process improvements
    •    Help build scalable systems and SOPs
    •    Ensure deadlines are consistently met without partner intervention
 

 
5. Client Relationship Management
    •    Serve as a primary point of contact for key clients
    •    Communicate complex tax concepts in a clear, confident manner
    •    Build long-term client relationships through proactive communication
    •    Identify opportunities to expand services (bookkeeping, planning, advisory)
 

 
Success Metrics (KPIs)
 
This role will be measured on:
    •    Review Efficiency: Turnaround time on returns
    •    Accuracy Rate: Reduction in reviewer corrections and rework
    •    Client Retention & Growth: Expansion of services within existing clients
    •    Realization Rate: Minimizing write-downs
    •    Staff Development: Team performance and independence
    •    Planning Revenue Growth: Increased advisory engagement
 

 
Qualifications
 
Required
    •    5–10+ years of tax experience in public accounting
    •    Strong experience reviewing business returns (S-Corp, Partnership)
    •    Proven experience managing staff and reviewing work
    •    Deep understanding of tax strategy for business owners
    •    Excellent communication and client-facing skills
 
Preferred
    •    CPA or EA (strongly preferred but not required)
    •    Experience in a boutique or high-touch firm environment
    •    Experience with tax planning and advisory services
    •    Familiarity with Thomson Reuters suite (UltraTax, Practice CS, etc.)
 

 
Compensation & Structure
    •    Base Salary: $100,000-$125,000 (depending on experience)
    •    Performance Bonus tied to:
    •    Production
    •    Team KPIs
    •    Client growth
    •    Upside Potential: Leadership track into Director / Partner role
 

 
Why This Role Is Different
    •    You will lead, not just review
    •    You will be involved in real tax strategy, not just compliance
    •    You will help build a top-tier boutique firm model
    •    You will work with high-quality clients (not volume-driven returns)
    •    You will have direct impact on firm growth and systems
 

 
Ideal Candidate Profile (What “A Players” Look Like Here)
    •    Thinks like an owner, not an employee
    •    Obsessed with accuracy and efficiency
    •    Strong communicator with confidence in client meetings
    •    Enjoys mentoring and building teams
    •    Wants to grow into a leadership role
