Job Description

Tax Manager | The "Anti-Burnout" Public Accounting Opportunity

Location: College Station, TX

Firm: Confidential Local Leader (Premier B/CS CPA Firm)

The Opportunity: Ditch the 80-Hour Busy Season

Are you a Tax Manager who loves the technical challenge of public accounting but hates the toxic "grind" culture? We are a highly respected, established CPA firm in College Station that has spent years perfecting a sustainable business model.

In an industry known for burnout, we’ve built something different: a firm where work-life balance isn't a marketing buzzword—it’s a contractual boundary. We provide the sophisticated client base of a big city firm with the culture, pace, and community-first feel of Aggieland.

Why This Role is Different

• The "Busy Season" Reimagined: We prioritize reasonable hour caps, even in the spring. You won't be expected to sacrifice your health or family for a filing deadline.

• Proactive Advisory: Our focus is on proactive tax planning and high-level consulting rather than high-volume, "churn-and-burn" return processing.

• The Community Factor: We serve the backbone of the Brazos Valley—from high-net-worth families and real estate developers to thriving local businesses and agricultural leaders.

• No Commute, More Life: Enjoy a 10-minute commute and the vibrant culture of College Station while managing a high-level technical portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Oversight: Review complex federal and state tax returns for Partnerships, S-Corps, and HNW Individuals.

• Client Advisory: Lead tax planning sessions, identifying opportunities for tax mitigation and long-term wealth preservation.

• Team Mentorship: Serve as a technical resource and career mentor for our staff and seniors (without the "fear-based" management style).

• Firm Growth: Collaborate with partners on specialized projects, including estate planning, business valuations, and R&D credits.

Qualifications

• Active CPA License is mandatory.

• 5+ years of experience in public accounting with a heavy focus on tax.

• A deep understanding of Texas-specific tax nuances is a plus.

• The Right Vibe: You are someone who wants to grow professionally but also wants to be home for dinner, attend local games, and be a present member of the community.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary with a lucrative bonus structure that rewards quality over quantity.

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.

• Generous PTO and a firm-wide holiday break.

• Retirement plan with a strong firm match.

• The College Station Advantage: A lower cost of living with the amenities of a major university town.

Wit & Wisdom: Since it's College Station, adding a subtle nod to the local sports scene or "Aggieland" usually helps with recruiting—even for the non-Aggies, the "community" aspect is a huge selling point for work-life balance.
