Senior Tax Manager
Arlington, TX
$130,000 to $160,000 + route to equity
A broader Senior Tax Manager role with real influence, and a genuine path beyond the job title
After tax season, most people finally get the headspace to think properly again.
Not just about whether to move, but about what the next few years are actually building toward. More responsibility is one thing. Real influence, broader exposure, and a clear path forward is something else.
This is one of those roles that feels different for that reason.
An independent CPA firm in Arlington TX is hiring a Senior Tax Manager into a business that has grown in a steady, sensible way. The client base is loyal. The revenue is consistent. The team is settled. It feels well run, not reactive.
They are not looking for someone just to keep work moving through the system.
Yes, the tax work is strong. Complex individuals, partnerships, and corporate clients, along with planning and advisory work across the year. But what makes this role more interesting is the breadth. You will also have exposure to wider accounting and GAAP work, giving you a fuller view of clients and a more rounded role inside the firm.
You will work closely with the owners, have a genuine voice in how things are done, and play a visible part in shaping what the next phase of the firm looks like.
Why this role stands out
Broader than a typical Senior Tax Manager position
Real input into workflow, systems, and team structure
A stable, well built client base with ongoing relationships
Direct access to ownership and involvement in key decisions
A clear path toward Director and Partner, with equity on the table
What you’ll be doing
Reviewing complex tax work across individuals, partnerships, and corporations
Supporting planning and advisory work throughout the year
Overseeing broader accounting and GAAP work where needed
Managing workflow and helping lead the team through busy periods
Mentoring staff and building strong client relationships
Working closely with leadership on the future direction of the firm
What they are looking for
Strong public accounting experience at Senior Manager level
Confident reviewing complex tax work across multiple entity types
Someone who enjoys client ownership and building relationships
Interested in broader exposure beyond pure tax
Comfortable influencing how a firm operates, not just delivering work
CPA preferred
If you are at the stage where you want more say, more variety, and a clearer long term path, this is well worth a conversation.
