FX Staffing • Fairfield, OH

2d

About The Position

As a Client Lead, you serve as the primary advisor for a portfolio of business clients. You lead the conversation, answer questions in real time, identify opportunities, and ensure clients feel confident that their tax, compliance, and advisory needs are fully covered.

You are a partner or partner-track CPA who enjoys advising clients but finds that:
Your time is increasingly consumed by internal management, firm politics, or administrative overhead
True advisory conversations are constrained by firm structure or legacy billing models
Client leadership is fragmented, limiting your ability to deliver clear, decisive guidance
You want meaningful influence and ownership of client relationships—without waiting years for formal authority

This role offers the opportunity to lead client relationships, exercise professional judgment in real time, and focus on advisory impact, within a firm that has already built the infrastructure to support it.

While the title is Senior Manager, the scope, autonomy, and client authority align with what many firms reserve for partner-level professionals.

Requirements

• CPA with a strong tax and accounting foundation
• Comfortable being the face of the firm in client conversations
• Able to think clearly and confidently in real time
• Sound professional judgment—knows when an answer is sufficient vs. when deeper analysis is needed
• Genuinely enjoys client interaction and relationship-building

Nice To Haves

• A compliance-only reviewer
• A pure strategist without tax depth
• A meeting facilitator who defers core technical questions

Responsibilities

• Lead recurring and strategic client meetings, including monthly financial reviews and business planning discussions
• Serve as the primary advisor, answering tax and accounting questions as they arise
• Connect tax implications to business and operational decisions, not as an afterthought
• Identify risks, issues, and opportunities across tax, compliance, and advisory
• Coordinate with internal delivery teams to ensure execution and follow-through
• Know when to involve specialists—without defaulting to deferral
