Tax Manager

Job DescriptionHybrid, office based or instate remote.\n\n9 years at the same firm reads as loyalty on Monday and no ambition on Tuesday, depending who's got your resume open.\n\nRound here it reads the first way. The small practices in San Rafael care more about whether you took a client from a shoebox to a system than about how many firm logos you've collected, and they'll pay $140,000 to $170,000 at manager level for someone who's done it.\n\nWhat makes them hesitate is the other shape. Public, then a couple of years in industry when month end looked calmer, then back to public.

You can still have that chat, you'll just spend the first 10 minutes of it explaining the middle bit.\n\nWhat's on offer\n\n $140,000 to $170,000 across Marin at manager level\n A book you keep, instead of handing it back to a partner every 15 October\n Hybrid working\n\n\nWhat you'll be doing\n\n 1040s, 1120Ss and 1065s, reviewing most of them and preparing the awkward ones yourself\n Owner managed businesses, their trusts and the family behind them\n Planning conversations in July, not just compliance in April\n Second pair of eyes on the staff work, and telling them why rather than just fixing it\n\n\nWhat you'll have\n\n CPA\n 10 years or more in public accounting\n A stint somewhere that lasted\n\n\nNext Steps: I'd rather you rang me not looking than applied out of frustration.

Either way it's confidential, and staying where you are is a respectable answer. 916 713 5173. From 5am and at weekends, since that's when most people in this job get a spare minute.
