Auto dealerships are a strange little corner of tax, and most managers never go near one. This firm has a few, alongside manufacturers and a decent run of real estate clients, so the week doesn't look like everyone else's week. It's a small practice in Covina, $148k to $172k, and the manager seat is a review seat. Complex individual, partnership and S corporation returns, trust work in the mix, and you're signing off what the staff and seniors have done rather than preparing it yourself. Partners are down the corridor, not in another building, so the planning conversations happen with you in them.

The honest bit:

it's small, so there's nobody below you to hide behind. It's hybrid as far as I know, though I'd want that confirmed before you count on it. Why this firm $148k to $172k, plus a discretionary bonus each year Auto dealerships, manufacturers and real estate in the book, so you're not doing the same return 200 times Review and sign off, with staff and seniors underneath you Partners who want you in the planning work, not just the compliance A medical contribution, a 401(k) match and a share of the profits The catch: it's a small firm, and the hybrid needs confirming What you'll be doing Reviewing 1040s, 1065s and 1120Ss, with trust returns as well Running engagements end to end, deadlines and client chasing included Projections and planning alongside the partners Federal and state research, and answering the notices when they land Training the staff underneath you What you'll have CPA preferred here rather than required 5 years or more in public accounting on the tax side, with real review work in it UltraTax, or enough of it to pick it up quickly

Next Steps:

Apply if you want to. If you'd rather ask a few questions first, call me on 916 713 5173 and I'll tell you what I know. It's confidential, and plenty of people I speak to decide to stay exactly where they are. From 5am most mornings and at weekends. Dale Cawley, Distinct North America.
