About The Position

Good Works Talent is partnering with an established CPA firm in Northern California to recruit a Tax Manager for its growing practice. This is a tax leadership opportunity with a broader scope than preparing returns and managing deadlines. You’ll work closely with the firm’s partners, helping business owners and individuals navigate complex tax situations, plan ahead, and make informed decisions throughout the year. You’ll take meaningful ownership of technical tax work and review, strengthen client relationships, and help develop less-experienced staff. Your contribution will create capacity for the firm to continue growing while providing the thoughtful, personal service its clients value. For a CPA interested in ownership, there is also potential to grow toward partnership over time, based on performance, mutual fit, and an agreed path forward.
