Tax Director

Tax Director – Hybrid

📍 Phoenixville, PA

About the Opportunity

MacKai West is partnered with a highly regarded public accounting firm in the Phoenixville area seeking a Tax Director to join their growing team. This is not your typical public accounting environment—this firm has built a reputation for combining high-level technical work with a genuinely collaborative, down-to-earth culture.

The team is made up of sharp, motivated professionals who enjoy working together—both in and out of the office. It’s a place where people take their work seriously, but not themselves.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Top-of-market compensation
• Strong work-life balance (yes, even in tax)
• Younger, collaborative team environment
• Diverse and engaging client base
• Clear and realistic Partner track

The Role

As Tax Director, you will play a key leadership role in managing client relationships, overseeing complex tax engagements, and mentoring staff. You’ll work closely with firm leadership and have a direct impact on both client outcomes and internal team development.

This role offers a defined path to Partner for the right individual, with the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility in client development, firm strategy, and leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and review complex tax engagements across individuals and entities
• Manage relationships with high-net-worth individuals and closely held businesses
• Oversee preparation and review of 1040s, partnership returns, and related filings
• Provide strategic tax planning and advisory services
• Mentor and develop junior and mid-level staff
• Collaborate with leadership on firm initiatives and client growth

Client Exposure

This firm offers a highly diversified portfolio, including:

• High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)
• Real estate and partnership-heavy clients
• Government and school system entities
• Restaurant and hospitality groups

What They’re Looking For

• 6–10+ years of public accounting tax experience
• Strong background in individual and partnership taxation
• Proven ability to manage client relationships
• Leadership experience or readiness to step into a leadership role
• CPA preferred

The Culture

This is a firm where people enjoy coming to work. The environment is professional but relaxed—more “grab a beer after work” than “burn out behind a desk.” The team values collaboration, authenticity, and delivering high-quality work without sacrificing quality of life.
