Job Description:

Our team is seeking a tax manager who is passionate about driving our veterinary practice specialty, in addition to delivering a top notch client experience and skillfully managing internal projects. The ideal team member is a confident leader for both clients and staff. You will have the opportunity to be involved in business development as well as managing and fostering client relationships. You will also play a significant role in developing, training, and coaching staff.We want our new team member to be excited about being at a growing and developing firm. If you want the same day to day responsibilities with the expectation you can predict what is needed of you tomorrow, next week, next month, this may not be the right fit. To excel at our firm and to find lasting satisfaction in doing so, these traits should resonate with you:

• Organized: You know how to keep track of multiple projects, tasks, documents, and files, follow up on loose ends, and can readily locate a document or provide a status update.
• Communicative: You are a confident and transparent communicator in every aspect with expert written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Service-minded: You demonstrate a desire to deliver a superior customer experience and you don't mind taking out the trash, both literally and figuratively.
• Eager: You enjoy working with a small but growing team of passionate professionals committed to changing the perception of how an accounting firm operates.
• Practical: You are more process driven than code head and can continuously weigh the cost/benefit both internally and with clients.
• Valuable: You are able to quantify the value you bring to clients and you are willing to defend that when questioned.
• Proactive: You're always one step ahead because you're an analytical thinker and can anticipate potential problems and needs, allowing you to be more efficient and provide better solutions.
• Mentor: You take pride in coaching and managing a team of young professionals.
• Innovative: You scour tax articles and other news sources with the intent of discovering and implementing new ideas and solutions.
• Self-Aware: You know your audience and can expertly deliver the right message on the right platform-in person, phone, email, Slack, LinkedIn, carrier pigeon, or fax (well---only for the IRS).
• Above all else - HUSTLE: We enjoy working hard and reaping the benefits. Let's acknowledge that public accounting is not an easy field, but it can be thoroughly enjoyable and challenging.Other important things to bring to the table:
  • Experience preparing, reviewing (maybe approving?) tax returns and workpaper files.
  • Experience billing clients, time tracking, and justifying value.
  • Experience working with veterinary practices, or other medical fields.
  • CPA license, EA certification, or CPA eligible with 4+ years of public accounting experience, including tax return preparation and review.
  • BA/BS in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related degree and/or an advanced degree in Accounting or Taxation.
  • Ability to work extra hours during tax season and extension season.
  • References from prior employers/supervisors/clients.What we offer:
    • Salary Range: $95,000-$135,000 (based on experience and ultimate expectations agreed upon by employee and the company).
    • Casual office environment.
    • Ability to work remotely a few days a week.
    • 22 Vacation days established via vacation "bank"--you use it or lose it. We want all employees to take all allotted vacation days every year.
    • 10 Holidays (6 scheduled and 4 floating).
    • 40 Hours sick leave (same "bank" mentioned above).
    • 2 Paid volunteer days (at least 1 of which we do as a team).
    • 401k Retirement, with 3% employer contribution and 2% profit share minimum with additional discretionary amounts added for performance exceeding expectations.
    • Medical and dental benefits.
    • Optional cell phone coverage.
    • Certification, licensing, and professional membership reimbursement.
    • Continuing education and growth opportunities.Who we are:If you were to ask any of us what we do, we would tell you that we do the things that people can't or don't want to do. It might seem a little broad, but if you think about it, it really gets down to the root of who we are and why we're here (taxes). But we're also about more than public accounting--when it comes to serving our clients, we set ourselves apart by going beyond putting numbers on a page. And the three qualities or "uniques" that truly define us are 1. Entrepreneurial, 2. Proactive, and 3. No bullshit. Seriously. We are #taxnerds and proud of it!Sound interesting? Send us your resume!
