You're Already Managing Tax Engagements.
What if your next move allowed you to help shape a firm - not just manage a workload?
We're conducting a confidential search for an experienced Tax Manager who is ready to expand beyond compliance into leadership, client advisory, practice growth, and long-term career advancement.
This is an opportunity to join one of Ohio's leading independent accounting and advisory firms, where technical excellence is matched by a genuine commitment to developing people, building lasting client relationships, and empowering growth.

- Lead sophisticated client engagements across multiple industries.
- Mentor and develop the next generation of tax professionals.
- Partner directly with Diectors and Principals.
- Expand into planning, consulting, and business development.
- Build a clear path toward Director and future ownership opportunities.
This is a firm that believes leadership starts well before the Partner level.

- Exceptional communication and client relationship skills.
- Desire to participate in practice growth and leadership.
- Commitment to continuous learning and embracing emerging technologies, including AI-enabled tax tools.
Why Professionals Build Their Careers Here

You'll find:
- Direct access to firm leadership.
- A collaborative culture where ideas are encouraged.
- A dedicated Performance Manager invested in your growth.
- Structured onboarding and leadership development.
- Meaningful client relationships.
- Hybrid work flexibility.
