Senior Tax Manager / Tax Director

Gables Search Group, Santa Clara, CA, United States


I'm working with a highly respected, fast-growing regional CPA firm that is expanding its tax practice and looking to add a

Tax Director

to the team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking

leadership, strong compensation, and a clear path to Partnership —all within a firm that truly values work-life balance.

Why This Role Stands Out

Hybrid flexibility (work from home + office)

Competitive compensation + significant bonus potential

5% employer 401(k) contribution

Exposure to both SEC and closely held clients across diverse industries

Clear, fast-track path to Partnership

Supportive, growth-oriented culture

What You’ll Do

Lead and review complex tax engagements and returns

Serve as a subject matter expert for clients and internal teams

Own client relationships and deliver high-quality service

Drive tax planning strategies and collaborate with A&A teams

Manage and delegate large engagements to tax staff

Represent clients before taxing authorities when needed

Stay ahead of tax law changes and advise clients accordingly

Mentor, coach, and develop high-performing teams

Contribute to business development and firm growth

What You Bring

7–10 years of public accounting experience with progressive tax responsibility

Experience with complex tax engagements and client advisory

Prior experience supervising and developing staff

Experience representing clients before taxing authorities

CPA license (active and in good standing)

Bachelor’s in Accounting (Master’s in Taxation preferred)

What To Expect

Occasional travel for client meetings and events

Some overtime throughout the year

Busy season (Jan–April) may require 55+ hours/week

If you’re ready to step into a leadership role with a clear path to Partnership, let’s connect.
