Sr Manager / Director (Unlimited PTO / Hybrid) - $170-210K

About the role

We're a modern public accounting and advisory firm built on a simple belief: great client service starts with a great place to work. We know what causes talented professionals to leave public accounting—unpredictable hours, burnout during busy season, limited time off, outdated technology, poor management, and feeling like there's nowhere meaningful to go next. We built our firm differently.

• Collaborate with accounting and advisory professionals to deliver comprehensive solutions to clients.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, leverage technology, and make the client and employee experience better.
• Participate in firm initiatives and help shape the continued growth and development of the tax practice.
• Develop new and existing client relationships and contribute to the growth of the firm in a way that aligns with your strengths and interests.
