Ready to do more than oversee compliance?
As a Private Client Services Tax Director, you'll lead relationships with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, shape complex tax and wealth planning, and help grow the practice. Your work will span closely held businesses, investments, trusts, estates, real estate, and multigenerational wealth. You'll have room to make an impact across the full client relationship, not just the annual return.
Compensation: $225,000–$250,000 base salary + bonus/incentive compensation, depending on experience, market, client relationships, and business development experience.
What You'll Own
Lead sophisticated private client relationships and turn complex tax issues into clear, practical advice
Drive year-round income tax, wealth transfer, trust, estate, gift, and family business planning
Oversee complex individual, fiduciary, partnership, and related compliance work
Collaborate with attorneys, wealth advisors, investment professionals, bankers, and other outside advisors
Mentor Managers and Seniors while leading teams accountable for excellent client service and quality
Own engagement scope, pricing, staffing, and profitability
Expand client relationships, develop referral sources, and work with Partners to grow the practice
What You Bring
10+ years of progressive public accounting tax experience, with private client leadership at the Director, Senior Manager, Principal, or equivalent level
CPA credentials; an MST, JD, or LLM is a plus
Deep experience advising high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients on individual, fiduciary, estate, and gift tax matters
The judgment to lead complex planning and client relationships, not just review compliance work
A record of developing teams and communicating confidently with clients and their advisors
Business development experience and referral relationships are highly valued
Why Take the Call?
If you've mastered the technical work and want greater ownership of client relationships and practice growth, this role gives you a path to build toward Partner-level responsibility. You'll work directly with Partners, lead meaningful planning, and help shape what comes next for the Private Client Services practice.
