Tax Manager
C Corporation Tax Specialist
Owings Mills, MD
$100,000 to $150,000 plus bonus
Most Tax Managers can prepare a C Corporation return.
Far fewer genuinely enjoy the technical side of corporate taxation.
If you're the sort of accountant who likes getting into the detail, advising businesses on complex tax matters and working with sophisticated corporate clients, this opportunity offers something a little different.
Rather than joining a large tax department where you're responsible for one small piece of the puzzle, you'll become an integral part of a growing tax practice where your knowledge and ideas will genuinely influence its future.
If you're looking for more ownership, more variety and the chance to help shape something as it grows, keep reading.
Why they're hiring
The firm's assurance practice continues to grow, bringing with it increasingly complex tax work, particularly around C Corporations and corporate tax matters.
Rather than waiting until the workload demands another hire, the leadership team wants to bring in the right person now.
The current tax team is intentionally small, creating a rare opportunity for an experienced Tax Manager to make a real impact.
You'll play a key role in supporting the firm's corporate tax clients while helping expand and develop the tax practice for years to come.
It's the sort of opportunity that's difficult to find in a more established department where processes have already been decided and responsibilities rarely change.
The work
Although you'll advise a broad range of clients, this opportunity has a clear emphasis on C Corporation taxation.
If you've built your career around corporate tax compliance, planning and advisory work, you'll have the chance to put that expertise to good use.
Alongside C Corporations, you'll also work with organisations including:
- Government entities
- Nonprofit organisations
- Commercial businesses
- Employee Benefit Plans
- Pension Plans
- Women owned businesses
- Minority owned businesses
The client base is particularly impressive.
These are the sort of organisations many accountants would expect to find within a much larger national firm, yet you'll enjoy the accessibility and collaboration that comes from working in a mid sized practice.
Why this opportunity stands out
One thing became clear after speaking with the leadership team.
They're not looking for someone to simply manage a workload.
They're looking for someone who wants to help build something.
They value initiative.
They encourage ideas.
They want people who enjoy taking responsibility rather than waiting for somebody else to make every decision.
If you've ever thought, "I'd love the opportunity to help shape a tax department rather than simply work in one," you'll probably find this role refreshing.
A firm with an impressive reputation
With around seventy employees, the firm has found a balance that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Large enough to attract complex, high calibre clients.
Small enough that the Partners still know everyone by name.
It's also one of the largest minority owned CPA firms in the United States and one of the Top 6 audit firms in Maryland, with Partners who remain actively involved within the profession through organisations including the AICPA.
The reputation they've built isn't accidental.
It's the result of investing in their people, maintaining high technical standards and creating a culture where collaboration matters just as much as capability.
Flexibility built on trust
Hybrid working is part of the culture, but it isn't treated as an entitlement or a box ticking exercise.
New starters spend more time in the office so they can learn directly from the Partners, understand the clients and build relationships across the firm.
As trust develops, flexibility naturally follows.
It's a simple approach built on professional judgement rather than rigid rules.
The practical bits
Alongside a competitive salary and annual bonus, you'll receive:
- Salary between $100,000 and $150,000
- Annual performance bonus
- 168 hours of PTO, increasing with tenure
- Blue Cross Blue Shield medical and dental plans
- Multiple healthcare options
- Health Savings Account
- Hybrid working
- A genuine opportunity to help shape the future of the tax practice
Who tends to enjoy this role?
Usually, it's someone who's naturally curious.
Someone who enjoys the technical challenge of corporate taxation and wants to work alongside clients whose tax affairs require more than a standard compliance approach.
Just as importantly, it's someone who wants their next move to have purpose.
Not simply another Tax Manager position.
A chance to influence, build and leave their mark on a growing tax practice.

I’m Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I don’t just look at job specs. I look at people, and where they’ll thrive. It’s not about filling gaps. It’s about finding a fit that lasts.
Outside of work, balance for me is Pilates to reset, travel to explore, and skiing to recharge. Because the truth is, you don’t slog through hours for the love of a spreadsheet. You do it for the freedom it buys you. Same principle here.
