Job Description:

Tax Director needed to own the firm’s tax practice end-to-end - both Compliance and Tax Advisory Services as a member of the firm’s leadership team. You will lead approximately 15 people and serve as one of the firm’s senior technical authorities.

Responsibilities

• Lead, manage, and develop the tax team: directly lead, manage, and hold accountable four pod leads and a team of ~15 professionals across the practice.
• Drive growth: shape the playbook, pricing, methodology, and team for proactive planning and white-glove delivery to top-tier clients.
• Own compliance quality: ensure reviews are done right, deadlines are met, and standards are never compromised.
• Lead high-impact client relationships: serve as the senior client-facing presence for complex engagements and elevate the relationships held by pod leads.
• Build training and QA systems: maintain feedback loops that keep the team sharp and catch issues before they reach clients.
• Serve as the technical authority: maintain both compliance mastery and advisory fluency, leading and teaching while remaining hands-on.
• Sit on the firm’s leadership team, helping shape the practice’s direction - not just its day-to-day operations.

• Proven ability to develop tax strategy and build advisory-level client relationships

Preferred qualifications

• MS in Taxation
• Experience with Canopy, SurePrep, UltraTax CS, or comparable platforms
• Experience with trust taxation, multi-entity structures, captive insurance, or cross-border issues
• Prior experience in an EOS-run organization
• Genuine interest in AI-augmented tax workflows
• Ambition to grow into a partnership role

Core competencies

• Technical mastery across planning, compliance, and complex review
• Skilled at coaching, motivating, and holding teammates accountable
• Proactive, creative advisory mindset with clear strategic communication
• Strong ownership and follow-through
• Ability to zoom out and contribute to firm-wide strategy

Tech Stack

Our firm runs on Canopy, SurePrep, UltraTax, and QBO. We are actively evaluating AI-augmented planning and tax preparation platforms, with the goal of materially upgrading our workflows starting in 2027. The Tax Director will have a real voice in shaping that roadmap.

• Non-equity partnership available based on performance and tenure
• 401(k) with 4% employer match
• Health insurance, with optional dental and vision
• Generous PTO and flexible work arrangements
• A client base built for advisory work - not high-volume compliance turnover
• A genuine voice in shaping the firm’s strategic direction
