Remote Tax Manager | $10k Sign-On | Independent Boutique CPA Firm | Up to $160k

Remote Tax Manager | Independent Boutique CPA Firm | $10k Sign-On | Up to $160k

Location: 100% Remote (United States)

Compensation: Up to $160,000 base + $10,000 sign-on bonus + performance bonus

Requirements: 5+ years public accounting tax experience | CPA or EA required | Small business focus required

We are an independently owned, boutique CPA firm --- modern, tech-forward, and built around delivering exceptional tax and accounting services to small business clients nationwide. We have grown significantly over the past two years and have done it entirely organically --- no private equity, no merger pressure, no outside agenda. Just a firm that is building something the right way and has a clear vision for where it is going.

We are hiring a Tax Manager to join a growing practice --- real client ownership, real advisory work, and a clear path to Senior Manager and Director for the right person.

Why This Role Stands Out

• $10,000 Sign-On Bonus --- On the table for the right candidate. No hoops, no waiting period games. A real commitment to bringing the right person on board
• Clear Path to Senior Manager and Director --- The firm is growing and needs leaders. If advancement is your goal, the runway is there and the timeline is real
• Busy Season That Stays Manageable --- Hours max out at 50–55 during busy season. Managed intentionally and kept there --- not a ceiling that quietly moves every year
• Client-Facing Advisory Role --- This is not a purely compliance seat. You will be advising small business owners directly on planning and strategy, not just filing returns
• Your Voice Actually Gets Heard --- A small, tight-knit team and a leadership group that is genuinely collaborative. Your ideas and perspective will shape how the firm operates --- not get lost in layers of management
• Annual Company Retreat --- 4 Days, All Expenses Paid --- The entire firm flies out to a new destination every year. Remote does not mean disconnected here
• Unlimited PTO --- Actually Used --- The firm is proud of its work-life balance and culture. This is not a talking point --- it is how they operate
• Tech-Forward and Modern --- Fully paperless, tech-enabled, and built around tools that make the work more efficient and the experience better for both clients and staff
• Independently Owned --- No PE --- 100% independently owned and intending to keep it that way

What You Will Do

• Review and manage S-corp, partnership, and individual tax returns for a portfolio of small business clients under $10M in revenue
• Serve as a primary client contact --- advising business owners directly on tax planning, entity structure, and compliance matters
• Supervise and develop senior associates and staff
• Identify proactive planning opportunities and communicate them clearly to clients and partners
• Collaborate directly with Partners on client strategy, firm growth, and practice development
• Contribute to the firm's culture, technology adoption, and operational improvement initiatives

What We Are Looking For

• Active CPA or EA required
• 5+ years of public accounting tax experience
• Small business focus required --- clients under $10M in revenue; no large C-corp backgrounds
• Strong technical foundation in S-corps, partnerships, and individual returns
• UltraTax experience strongly preferred
• Client-facing advisory experience --- you are comfortable owning the relationship, not just reviewing the work
• Entrepreneurial mindset --- you want to build something, not just maintain it
• Self-directed and comfortable working fully remote

What We Offer

• Base salary up to $160,000, commensurate with experience
• $10,000 sign-on bonus
• Performance bonus --- typically 10–15%
• Unlimited PTO --- and a culture that supports using it
• Full health benefits
• Annual company retreat --- 4 days, all expenses paid, new destination every year
• Clear path to Senior Manager and Director --- real, defined, and actively supported
• A firm small enough to know your name and large enough to keep you challenged
