GOOD WORKS TALENT - Minneapolis, MN, United States
Tagged: Tax , Tax Senior , Senior Accountant , Manager , Public Accounting
Public Accounting | Multiple Firms | Growth-Focused Team
At Good Works Talent, we partner with high-performing public accounting firms across the country to find, attract, and engage the next generation of tax leaders.
If you’re a Senior Tax professional ready for more ownership, or a Tax Manager who wants meaningful influence without constant fire drills, we should talk.
Our clients range from respected regional firms to expanding national practices. What they share is simple. They are investing in their tax departments. They are deepening advisory capabilities. And they are building succession plans around strong technical leaders who can also develop people.
This is not a posting for one specific firm. It is an opportunity to explore multiple tax leadership paths through one confidential conversation.
Why Connect With Good Works Talent?
We represent multiple growth-minded CPA firms actively hiring Senior Tax professionals and Tax Managers across the U.S.
When you connect with us, you gain access to:
Confidential opportunities not always publicly posted
Firms expanding advisory and tax planning services
Leadership teams focused on succession and long-term growth
Practices serving strong middle-market and closely held business clients
Instead of sending resumes into a black hole, you can have a thoughtful conversation about where you want your tax career to go. Then we help align you with firms that actually fit.
What These Roles Typically Involve
While each firm is different, most Senior and Manager-level tax roles include:
Reviewing complex corporate, partnership, and individual tax returns
Leading tax compliance and planning engagements
Advising clients on multi-state and federal tax matters
Supervising and mentoring associates and staff
Identifying proactive tax strategies that go beyond compliance
Supporting clients through notices and tax authority inquiries
Improving internal processes and workflow efficiency
At the Manager level, firms are looking for professionals who can shift from preparer to trusted advisor. Someone who can see around corners, not just complete returns.
What Success Looks Like
The tax professionals our clients hire tend to:
Build strong client trust through proactive communication
Deliver technically sound work without unnecessary drama
Develop and retain strong team members
Stay current on regulatory changes and translate them clearly
Contribute to firm growth through relationship-building and advisory insight
These roles are often stepping stones to Senior Manager, Director of Tax, or future Partner tracks.
What You Bring
Most of our Senior and Manager-level tax candidates have:
3 or more years of public accounting tax experience
Experience preparing and reviewing returns and contributing to client engagements
Strong knowledge of corporate, partnership, and individual taxation
Exposure to multi-state and federal regulations
CPA license preferred or active progress toward it
Comfort with tax software such as CCH, ProSystem fx, Lacerte, or UltraTax
The ability to explain complex tax concepts in plain language
A Master’s in Taxation is a plus. Just as important is leadership potential and the ability to guide both clients and teams with confidence.
Work Models and Compensation
Our client firms typically offer:
Hybrid flexibility
Structured busy season expectations with a focus on sustainability
Clear advancement pathways within the tax practice
Competitive compensation aligned with experience and credentials
Comprehensive benefits, retirement contributions, and ongoing professional development
We prioritize firms that understand something many tax professionals have experienced firsthand. Long-term retention does not come from burnout cycles. It comes from strong culture, realistic expectations, and clear opportunity.
Why Tax Leaders Turn to Good Works Talent
You will not be pressured into making a move.
Many of the professionals we work with are simply exploring. They want to understand what is out there. They are curious about advisory growth. Or they are thinking long term about leadership and equity potential.
With more than a decade of experience recruiting inside public accounting, we understand how nuanced tax moves can be. Compensation matters. So does development. So does leadership philosophy.
We help you think through all of it.
Interested in Exploring?
If you are a Senior Tax professional or Tax Manager considering what is next, let’s start with a confidential conversation.
Share your resume or LinkedIn profile and tell us about a tax engagement or client situation you are especially proud of. That usually says more about your trajectory than a list of responsibilities ever could.
Good Works Talent connects exceptional tax professionals with CPA firms building the future of their tax practices.
