Job Description

Company Description

We’re partnering with a growing, fully remote accounting firm to hire a Tax Manager for a client-facing role. This is a full-time position within a pod-based team structure, offering built-in administrative and accounting support.

The firm serves a niche group of self-employed professionals, including many physicians, and prioritizes long-term advisory relationships over high-volume seasonal work. The ideal candidate is proactive, detail-oriented, and confident managing complex returns and tax strategy across multiple states and entities.

Job Description

The Remote Tax Manager needs to be a hardworking candidate who stays organized, has solid tax planning and client-facing experience, will overview and sign off on tax returns, manage their pod and be comfortable with 1040s, 1120s, and 1065s.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the primary tax advisor for a set group of clients
     
  • Prepare and review complex individual (1040), S corp (1120S), and partnership (1065) returns
     
  • Provide ongoing strategic tax planning for self-employed professionals and small business owners
     
  • Navigate multi-state filings and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws
     
  • Collaborate with a support team (your “pod”), including bookkeeping and admin professionals
     
  • Communicate directly with clients to deliver advice, resolve questions, and build trusted relationships
     
  • Stay up to date on tax code changes relevant to client industries and structures

Qualifications

  • CPA or EA required
     
  • Minimum 5 years of recent tax experience in public accounting or a client-facing advisory role
     
  • Strong technical knowledge of 1040, 1120S, and 1065 tax return preparation and review
     
  • Experience with self-employed clients, especially those in professional service industries, preferred
     
  • Familiarity with entity structuring, multi-state compliance, and proactive tax strategy
     
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
     
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
     
  • Proficiency in tax software (e.g., Drake, UltraTax, ProConnect, Lacerte) and cloud-based tools

Additional Information

What You’ll Get:

  • Fully remote work – operate from anywhere in the U.S.
     
  • Structured support – work within a pod that includes admin and bookkeeping help
     
  • Client continuity – build long-term relationships, not just seasonal prep
     
  • Flexibility – off-season scheduling that supports work/life balance
     
  • Compensation – $90,000–$150,000 based on experience and skillset
     
  • Growth – a chance to step into a long-term role with real client impact

Firm Culture:
This firm is intentional about team support, client service, and sustainable growth. They invest in systems and structure to give team members the space to do thoughtful, high-quality work. The environment is remote, collaborative, and rooted in professionalism—with room for flexibility and autonomy.

If you're a CPA or EA with strong tax experience, a client-first mindset, and the desire to be part of a fully remote, well-supported team, we’d love to hear from you.  Please forward a current copy of your resume and state your salary requirements.
