Tax Principal (Los Angeles)

SR Staffing, Los Angeles, CA, United States


Tax Principal (Non‑Equity Partner) – Real Estate Focus Encino, Los Angeles, CA – Open to Remote

A well‑established public accounting firm specializing in UHNW/HNW clients and multifamily/commercial real estate is seeking a

Tax Principal (Non‑Equity Partner)

to join their leadership team. This opening is due to a planned Tax Partner retirement in June, creating a clear and immediate succession opportunity for a seasoned tax leader.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical depth, stability, and proven experience reviewing complex real estate and partnership returns. The firm has a highly collaborative culture—critical for a team with significant remote flexibility—and completes over

3,000+ returns annually , offering a high‑volume, high‑impact leadership seat.
