Senior Tax Manager – Clear Path to Partner

,

Senior Tax Manager

Our client is a 30-person, locally owned CPA firm in Seattle that’s choosing independence over private equity, people over profits, and long-term success over short-term exits. They’re hiring a Senior Tax Manager to inherit and lead a high-performing book of business — with a clear path to partnership if that’s your goal.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Inherit and manage an $800K–$900K book serving high-net-worth individuals and closely held businesses
  • Work with a variety of clients in dental, professional services, real estate, manufacturing & distribution
  • Review complex returns, mentor junior staff, and help lead tax engagements
  • Collaborate with down-to-earth, relatable leadership in a firm built on trust and autonomy
  • Contribute to a firm culture that values people, retention, and long-term growth

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Clear path to partner— no waiting games or mixed messages
  • Majority female-owned with leadership that understands real-life responsibilities (many are moms)
  • People-first culture: flexible schedules, support for caregiving, and real work-life balance
  • Tenure speaks volumes: average employee stays 10+ years
  • Reasonable busy seasons: peak hours max out around 55–60/week
  • Remote flexibility with occasional travel to Seattle

Salary: $155,000 – 185,000+ (DOE)

Audit Manager – Seattle-based CPA Firm

,

Audit Manager

This Seattle-based, proudly independent CPA firm isn’t chasing private equity — they’re investing in people.
They’re hiring an Audit Manager to lead a team of 5 auditors, serve a diverse client base, and grow into a future leadership role in a firm where women already outnumber men — and are supported at every level.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and mentor a team of 5 through all phases of the audit process
  • Serve a mix of privately held clients across industries:
    • Fishing & maritime
    • Manufacturing
    • Fitness & wellness
    • Employee benefit plans
  • Use tools including ProSystems FX, Engagement, and Knowledge Coach
  • Collaborate with clients primarily remotely, with occasional on-site visits for select audits

Why This Firm Stands Out

  • Independent, long-term focused firm — no outside investors, no outside pressure
  • Strong track record of supporting and growing women in leadership
  • More women than men across the firm, and an inclusive, empowering culture
  • Flexible work structure: hybrid model with most audits conducted remotely
  • Competitive compensation: $120K–$150K+, depending on experience

If you’re an experienced auditor in the Pacific Northwest looking for real autonomy, leadership opportunity, and a firm that walks the talk on values — this is the place.

Salary: $120,000 – 150,000+ (DOE)
