Tax Manager Distinct Recruitment - 4.5 Tampa, FL Job Details Full-time $120,000 - $150,000 a year 3 hours ago Benefits Health insurance 401(k) Paid time off Career development plan 401(k) matching Professional development assistance Opportunities for advancement Flexible schedule Qualifications CPA Public accounting Full Job Description Most Tax Manager roles promise progression. Few can point to a Managing Partner who is actively looking for someone to help carry the firm forward. This Tampa CPA firm has been serving clients for more than 50 years. Over that time, they've built something many firms aspire to have. Loyal clients. Long serving employees. A strong reputation in the market. And a culture where relationships still matter. Now they're looking for a Tax Manager who can become a key part of the next chapter. The Role This is a hands on Tax Manager position within a well established 20 person CPA firm. The tax department consists of five professionals and the Managing Partner is looking for someone who can help shoulder client responsibilities, review tax work and become a trusted resource to both clients and the team. This isn't a role where you'll simply review returns and move on. The firm wants someone who enjoys working directly with clients throughout the year, taking meetings, solving problems and becoming a valued advisor.

Responsibilities will include:

Reviewing Individual Tax Returns Reviewing S Corporation, Partnership and Corporate Tax Returns Remaining hands on with tax preparation when needed Meeting with clients throughout the year Tax planning and advisory discussions Managing client relationships Mentoring and supporting junior staff Helping drive the continued growth of the tax department The client base includes a mix of individuals, family businesses, trusts, estates and privately held companies across a broad range of industries. The firm also has several long standing niche client relationships that create recurring work and strong client retention year after year. Why People Join $120,000 - $150,000 salary Established firm with more than 50 years of history Clear path to partnership Strong and loyal client base Direct access to firm leadership Well established tax department Supportive and collaborative team Hybrid working Long term career stability What Stands Out The succession opportunity. The Managing Partner has been open about wanting additional support and is looking for someone who can become an important part of the firm's future leadership team. For the right person, this is far more than a Tax Manager position. It's an opportunity to build long term client relationships, become heavily involved in the firm and position yourself for partnership. The firm sits in a sweet spot that many candidates are searching for. Large enough to provide interesting work, resources and career progression. Small enough that your contribution is visible and valued. The culture is built around trust, accountability and professional autonomy rather than micromanagement. Technology The firm invests in modern technology and systems, including: Thomson Reuters Software Suite Practice Management Technology AI Driven Research Tools Who They're Looking For CPA strongly preferred 5+ years of public accounting tax experience Experience reviewing Individual and Business Tax Returns Experience with 1040s, Partnerships, S Corporations and C Corporations Strong client facing skills Comfortable leading client meetings throughout the year Experience mentoring or supervising staff Someone who is happy to remain hands on when needed A long term mindset with interest in future leadership opportunities The Honest Bit This probably isn't the right fit if you're looking for a large national firm where your role is narrowly defined and leadership feels several layers away. But if you'd like to join a respected CPA firm, work directly with clients, have a genuine voice in the business and position yourself for a future leadership role, it's worth a conversation.
