Tax Director
White Tiger Connections • St. Simons Island, GA • Full Time
Posted on Sat, Aug 8, 2026
About the Firm
We are representing a well-established boutique CPA firm known for its high-touch client relationships, deep technical expertise, and long-term client partnerships. The firm is home to a seasoned team of Partners and serves a sophisticated client base on Saint Simons Island, GA — a beautiful coastal community on Georgia's Golden Isles. This is a rare opportunity to step into a meaningful leadership role at a firm with a strong reputation and a stable, high-quality book of business.
About the Role
Our client is seeking a Tax Director to join their team and take ownership of a well-established client base with a direct path to Partner. This role is central to the firm's long-term continuity, with a focus on client relationship management, technical tax work, and team leadership. The ideal candidate is someone who is ready to plant roots, grow within the firm, and build a long-term career in a premier coastal market.
This is an especially compelling opportunity for a seasoned tax professional looking to trade the pace of a major metro for an exceptional quality of life on the Georgia coast — without sacrificing the caliber of work or clientele. If you have been considering a move away from a high-pressure urban market, this role offers a rare combination of sophisticated work, strong compensation, and an enviable lifestyle in one of the Southeast's most desirable communities.
