A lot of Senior Tax Managers reach the same point.
They've built strong client relationships.
They review the most complex work.
They mentor the team.
Partners trust them.
Yet every year feels much the same.
The people above them aren't leaving.
Progression becomes something that's talked about rather than planned.
This opportunity is different.
This established Sarasota CPA firm isn't hiring because someone resigned.
They're hiring because they're planning for the future.
With more than 50 years of success, they're already thinking about the next generation of leadership and want someone who can grow into a Partner-level position over time.
Why accountants are interested in this opportunity
- $150,000 - $175,000 package
- Genuine route to Partnership
- Established, loyal client base
- Direct access to firm leadership
- Opportunity to influence the future of the practice
- Stable, highly respected firm with exceptionally low turnover
- Succession planning already underway—not years away
The role
You'll manage complex tax engagements across partnerships, S Corporations, closely held businesses and high-net-worth individuals.
But this role goes beyond technical tax work.
You'll become a trusted adviser to clients, mentor the next generation of accountants and work alongside the Partners on decisions that shape the future of the firm.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing and reviewing complex tax engagements
- Advising business owners and key clients
- Leading, mentoring and developing staff
- Improving systems and efficiencies
- Supporting the firm's continued growth
- Working closely with the Partners on strategic initiatives
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to review tax returns.
It's for someone who wants influence.
Someone who enjoys leadership.
Someone who wants to know exactly what the next five years could look like.
The culture
The firm operates primarily from the office.
Not because they're against flexibility.
Because they believe future Partners are developed through collaboration, mentoring and working alongside experienced professionals every day.
It's an approach that's helped them build one of the area's most respected firms over the last five decades.
Who we're looking for
- CPA qualified
- Experienced Tax Manager or Senior Tax Manager within public accounting
- Strong technical review skills
- Comfortable managing client relationships
- Natural leader who enjoys developing people
- Interested in a genuine long-term future with one firm
If you're starting to wonder whether your current firm can genuinely offer the next step, it's probably worth having a confidential conversation.
