Tax Leader with Partnership Track

Job Title: Tax Manager / Senior Tax Manager – Leadership Track

Location: Cleveland, OH (Hybrid Flexibility Available)

Job Type: Full-Time

About the Opportunity

A well-established, growth-oriented public accounting firm in the Cleveland market is seeking a Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager to step into a key leadership role within its tax practice.

This is not a backfill—the firm is experiencing continued growth and is looking to add a strong leader who can make an immediate impact while positioning themselves for partnership in the near future!

The firm offers a collaborative, people-first culture, with an emphasis on sustainable workloads, long-term career development, and providing high-level advisory services to a diverse client base.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Clear path to partnership within the next couple of years for qualified leaders
• Aggressive compensation + performance-based bonus structure
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• Opportunity to work directly with firm leadership and influence growth
• Strong emphasis on client relationships and advisory services (not just compliance)
• Supportive culture focused on mentorship, development, and retention

Key Responsibilities

• Review and manage a variety of tax returns (corporate, partnership, individual, and other entities)
• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, providing tax planning and strategic guidance
• Lead and manage client engagements from start to finish
• Mentor, train, and develop staff and senior team members
• Collaborate with leadership on practice growth and client expansion
• Identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency gains

Qualifications

• CPA preferred (or actively pursuing)
• 5+ years of experience in public accounting
• Strong background in tax compliance, review, and advisory
• Proven experience managing engagements and leading teams
• Strong communication skills with a client-focused mindset
• Interest in long-term growth and leadership within a firm

If you're exploring opportunities where you can grow into leadership and have a real impact, this is worth a conversation!
