About The Position

WNA CPAs is seeking an experienced Tax Manager to play a key role in the future growth and leadership of our firm. As several long-tenured professionals transition toward retirement, we are looking for a talented tax professional who wants more than simply reviewing returns. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of the firm’s tax practice, mentor staff, build client relationships, and contribute to strategic decisions that impact the direction of the organization. If you enjoy combining technical tax expertise with leadership, client advisory services, and practice development, this may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for. The Tax Manager oversees and coordinates tax-related activities within the firm while actively participating in client service, tax planning, and practice development. This position serves as a technical resource for staff and clients, reviews complex tax returns, mentors team members, and helps ensure the firm’s tax services remain accurate, efficient, and responsive to client needs. This role requires a proactive professional who can operate independently within the firm's established priorities while exercising sound judgment, communicating effectively, and taking ownership of client service and project outcomes. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with excellent communication skills, leadership ability, and a proactive approach to client service.
