Senior Tax Manager

WHY: We exist to grow family legacies, and in doing so, will redesign the structure of public accounting.
HOW: Through passion, generosity, and expertise.
WHAT: We are accountants that offer concierge-level service.
The senior manager will help us carry out our mission by 1) having a passion to learn, 2) having a passion to teach, 3) fostering a work atmosphere that showcases an unrivaled level of commitment to team work, which will ultimately be conducive to all members of the team providing an excellent service to our clients, and 4) continuously challenging the "norm" and how we may change the structure of public accounting, through firm initiatives and strategic planning. Senior managers will not only offer countless hours of training and one-on-one coaching to new managers, supervisors, seniors, associates, and interns, but they will also be asked to commit to meetings and gatherings focused on firm improvement (generosity of time). Ultimately, the senior manager will be a champion in several technical areas due to their depth of expertise. The senior manager will also be a leader in the firm when it comes to their focus on continuous improvement in all aspects of our business.
