Not just a name on an engagement letter. You know what they're trying to build. You know when they're thinking about growing, buying another business, bringing someone into it or eventually stepping away. And ideally, they call you before they make the decision. That's really what this Tax Manager opportunity is about. I'm working with a large, established public accounting firm in Nashville that's looking to add a Manager to its Small Business Tax team. You get the resources, specialists and career opportunities that come with a substantial firm, but the clients themselves are much more personal. Privately owned businesses. Closely held companies. Entrepreneurs and families who actually want to know the person advising them. The role You'll predominantly work with privately owned and closely held businesses and their owners, with plenty of S Corporation and partnership work. There's obviously compliance involved. It's tax, after all. But at Manager level, they want someone who can look beyond getting the return out the door. You'll be involved in: Partnerships and S Corporations Closely held and privately owned businesses Business owners and their individual tax needs Tax planning and advisory Reviewing complex returns Managing engagements and deadlines Developing Seniors and junior staff Building long term client relationships The interesting part is becoming someone your clients actually call. Should we restructure? Should we buy this? What happens if I sell? How do I eventually get myself out of this business without creating a tax headache? That sort of thing. A bigger firm without feeling miles away from the client This is probably the biggest attraction. You're joining a substantial public accounting firm, so when something complicated lands on your desk, there are specialists and technical resources around you. You're not expected to know absolutely everything. At the same time, the work is focused on businesses where you can genuinely understand what's happening behind the numbers. You can know the owners. Understand what they're trying to achieve. And become more of an advisor as your relationships develop. For someone who likes the resources of a larger firm but doesn't particularly fancy disappearing into one tiny corner of enormous engagements, it's a pretty good middle ground. What they're looking for You'll need a solid public accounting tax background and enough experience to operate comfortably at Manager level. They're particularly interested in people who understand privately owned businesses and flow through taxation properly. Ideally, you'll bring: Strong S Corporation and partnership experience Closely held or privately owned business exposure Public accounting experience Strong review skills Experience managing engagements Confidence working directly with clients Experience developing junior staff CPA or EA qualification More than anything, they want someone who enjoys the relationship side of tax. Someone who wants to understand the business rather than just review its return. Why I think it's worth a conversation Because a move at Manager level should actually change something. Maybe you want better resources behind you. Maybe you want more advisory exposure. Maybe you want a bigger platform and more room to progress, without losing the relationships you've spent years learning how to build. Or perhaps you're not desperately trying to leave at all. That's fine too. Some of the best career moves start with simply finding out what else exists. You don't need an updated resume to have that conversation either. If you're a Tax Manager in the Nashville area and this sounds like your sort of work, reach out. I'll happily talk you through the firm, the team and what they can offer before you decide whether you want to take it any further. I'm Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I recruit specifically within public accounting and I'm much more interested in finding out what would make your working life better than trying to squeeze you into whatever vacancy happens to be open. Because if a job move doesn't improve something, there's not much point making one.
