Tax Manager
Dallas, TX
$140,000 to $170,000
If you want a role where advisory work is real, not just something mentioned in the interview, this is worth a serious look
A lot of Tax Manager roles sound broader than they really ar
e.They talk about planning. They talk about consulting. They talk about client relationships. Then once you are in, it still ends up being mostly about getting returns out and keeping everything movin
g.
This one feels more interesting than th
at.
This opportunity is with an established Dallas TX CPA firm that is built around tax strategy, meaningful advisory relationships, and tailored planning and consulting support. It is the kind of setup that tends to suit someone who wants to stay close to the technical work, but also play a bigger role in the conversations that actually help clients make better decisi
ons.
If you enjoy building relationships, thinking beyond the return itself, and being more than just a reviewer in the background, this is the sort of role that gives you more room to do
that.It is also a smart time to have this conversation. Joining a new firm over the summer gives you the chance to get settled properly, get to know the clients, and build momentum before the fall deadlines come back ar
ound.

How to apply (withou
t the fuss)
Most people treat job ads like a box-ticking ri
tual. Don’t.
If this resonates, apply. The button isn’t a marriage proposal it’s a conversa
tion starter.
Prefer the human touch? Call me: 972-807-7244. If the platform hides it, I’m Alex Alcock (Distinct) on LinkedIn. I’m around from 6am CST and
after 5pm CST.
Only at ~87% of the spec? Perfect. Apply anyway. The CPA firms I work with want interesting, capable people, not
carbon copies.
Don’t overthink it. Worst case: a helpful chat about your next step. Best case: the role that g
ets you unstuck.
