Senior Tax Manager at Talnt in San Francisco, California, United States

Job description

• A sophisticated tax, accounting, and advisory practice is adding a Senior Tax Manager after another year of organic growth.
• This is a fully remote opportunity anywhere in the U.S. with a $190K–$220K base, bonuses paid twice a year, flexible PTO, no minimum overtime requirement, and a genuine path to Principal, Partner, and ultimately equity ownership.
• The client work is equally compelling. The practice specializes in family offices and real estate private equity sponsors, with significant exposure to complex partnerships, HNW individuals, multi-generational trusts and estates, private foundations, and closely held businesses.
• This isn't a high-volume compliance shop. You'll own sophisticated client groups, some with 100+ entities, work directly with clients on complex planning and technical matters, and lead the professionals supporting those relationships.
• Why this is worth a conversation
• There are plenty of firms that will offer a Senior Tax Manager more money to manage more work.
• This opportunity is built differently.
• Fully remote. $190K–$220K base. Two bonuses a year. No minimum overtime requirement. Sophisticated real estate and family office clients. And a path that can ultimately lead to equity ownership.
• The practice has grown year after year largely through referrals, and this hire is being made because that growth is continuing—not because someone walked out the door.
• If you've built the technical foundation and client credibility but don't want your path to Partner to require sacrificing everything outside of work, this is worth a confidential conversation.

Responsibilities

• Review complex partnership, S corporation, C corporation, trust, individual, gift, and private foundation returns
• Manage sophisticated client groups with multiple entities—some exceeding 100 entities
• Serve as a direct point of contact for clients and develop solutions around complex tax and business matters
• Lead tax planning and special projects requiring technical judgment and creative problem-solving
• Apply advanced partnership and real estate tax knowledge across 1031 exchanges, 704(b), 754 elections/step-ups, 163(j), QBI/199A, PTET, non-recourse debt allocations, and cost segregation
• Oversee and develop tax professionals through hands-on technical coaching and mentorship
• Handle federal and state examinations and assist with tax controversy matters
• Work closely with seasoned Partners and Principals while continuing to expand your own client responsibility
• Spend the majority of your time reviewing and advising, with occasional preparation of particularly complex real estate partnership returns when needed

Requirements

• CPA required
• 8–12 years of public accounting experience
• Strong preference for experience within a mid-to-large local or regional public accounting firm
• Deep partnership tax experience
• Meaningful real estate tax experience
• Strong accounting foundation in addition to technical tax expertise
• Experience managing complex client relationships and multi-entity structures
• Experience leading, training, and mentoring tax professionals
• Strong technical knowledge across partnership allocations, 1031 exchanges, 754 elections, 163(j), 199A/QBI, and PTET
• Multi-state experience
• Trust, estate, and/or private foundation experience is a plus
• International tax exposure is a plus
• Lacerte, QuickBooks, and CCH Engagement experience is helpful
