Tax Manager

Tax Manager

We want our new team member to be excited about being at a growing and developing firm. If you want the same day to day responsibilities with the expectation you can predict what is needed of you tomorrow, this may not be the right fit. To excel at our firm and to find lasting satisfaction in doing so, these traits should resonate with you:

• Communicative. You are a confident and transparent communicator in every aspect with expert written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Service-minded. You demonstrate a desire to deliver a superior customer experience and you don’t mind taking out the trash, both literally and figuratively.
• Proactive. You’re always one step ahead because you’re an analytical thinker and can anticipate potential problems and needs, allowing you to be more efficient and provide better solutions.
• Organized. You know how to keep track of multiple projects, tasks, documents, and files, follow up on loose ends, and can readily locate a document or provide a status update.
• Eager. You enjoy working with a growing team of passionate professionals committed to changing the perception of how an accounting firm operates.
• Practical. You are more process driven than code head and can continuously weigh the cost/benefit both internally and with clients.
• Valuable. You are able to quantify the value you bring to clients and you are willing to defend that when questioned.
• Mentor. You take pride in coaching and managing a team of young professionals.
• Innovative. You scour tax articles and other news sources with the intent of discovering and implementing new ideas and solutions.
• Self-Aware. You know your audience and can expertly deliver the right message on the right platform—in person, phone, email, Slack, LinkedIn, carrier pigeon, or fax (well…only for the IRS).
• Above all else - HUSTLE. We enjoy working hard and reaping the benefits ("work hard play hard" is overused and cliche, but that's us). Let's acknowledge that public accounting is not an easy field, but it can be thoroughly enjoyable and challenging.
