Senior Tax Manager / Tax Director – Partner Track
Salary: $150,000 – $200,000+ (potential flexibility for exceptional experience)
Location: Northern Virginia (Great Falls Area)
Office Situation: Primarily in-office during tax season with some hybrid flexibility outside busy season once established
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected boutique public accounting firm with an established private-client practice, long-term client relationships, and a real path toward future partnership.
This is not a churn-and-burn environment. The firm has built a strong reputation through referrals, retention, and relationship-driven client service over several decades. They are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys public accounting, values client relationships, and wants long-term growth in a collaborative environment.
What makes this role especially unique:
-
Real Partnership-Track Potential – Leadership is actively planning for long-term succession and client transition
-
Established Client Base – Opportunity to step into an existing book of high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, and closely held businesses

Excellent Work-Life Balance for Public Accounting – Limited overtime outside tax season
-

-
Base salary up to $200K+ depending on experience
-
Bonus potential

-
Employer-paid health benefits contribution

CPE/CPA support
-
Generous PTO structure with additional OT-to-vacation conversion
-
Tight-Knit, Professional Team – Direct access to firm leadership with a collaborative, low-ego environment
-
Focused Tax Practice – No audit work and no international tax
-
Growing Firm – Strong referral pipeline and continued organic growth
Key Responsibilities:
-
Prepare and review 1040, 1041, 1065, and 1120S tax returns
