Tax Manager – Planning, Review & Technical Leadership
Are you the kind of tax professional who enjoys finding opportunity hidden inside the return?
Our integrated tax and attest practice is looking for a tax specialist and leader. We’re looking for a Tax Manager who is strong technically in taxation, enjoys developing others, and would like being part of a collaborative CPA firm environment. This role is ideal for someone who wants to be client-aware and advisory-minded, without carrying the full weight of constant relationship management or business development.
In this position, you’ll help lead the technical side of our tax practice: assisting in coordinating the tax return preparation and review process, identifying planning opportunities, researching tax issues, and communicating practical recommendations. While tax will be your primary focus, this is a cross-practice role rather than a siloed tax position. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that serves clients across both tax and attest, with attest involvement tailored to your experience, interests, and technical strengths. That broader exposure helps you better understand our clients, contribute to coordinated service, spot planning opportunities, and develop staff with a more complete view of the client relationship.
What you’ll do
You’ll be a key technical resource for both clients and the tax team. Your work will include:
- Identifying, researching, and helping communicate tax savings and planning opportunities
- Reviewing individual, business, fiduciary, and nonprofit returns
- Preparing more complex returns
- Serving as a technical expert in tax, while providing leadership, coaching, and technical direction within a multi-service team whose members serve clients across both tax and attest
- Developing preparers and reviewers by coaching them through tax return preparation, self-review, technical questions, recurring issues, and review readiness
- Translating technical tax concepts into clear, useful client communication
- Working collaboratively with the owner, reviewers, and preparers to solve problems before they become surprises
- Participating in selected attest engagements, such as bank exams, 401(k) audits, and for-profit compilations and reviews, with responsibilities tailored to your experience and strengths
You might be a great fit if you
- Enjoy reviewing returns and spotting things others may miss
- Like researching tax issues and turning them into practical advice
- Communicate clearly, especially in writing
- Prefer a collaborative, steady environment
- Take pride in helping others grow
- Want to be trusted as a technical leader in a collaborative environment, applying your analytical strengths without carrying a sales-focused role
What we’re looking for
- CPA or EA
- Several years of public accounting tax experience
- Strong review skills across individual and business returns
- Ability to research and explain tax issues clearly
- Comfort in mentoring staff
- A practical, team-first approach to client service
If you enjoy the technical side of tax and want to be part of a firm where collaboration matters, we’d enjoy talking with you. Please apply by emailing a resume to mail@geacpa.com, along with a brief story of how you presently love to serve.
