Finance & AccountingTax Specialist

Good tax managers connect the details to the bigger picture. They understand the return, recognize what matters to the client, and help their team deliver work they can stand behind.

We’re looking for a Tax Manager who enjoys that combination. You’ll lead engagements, build client relationships, review technical work, and coach staff. You’ll also help us improve the processes and systems behind the work.

Interested in business development? There’s room for that. Prefer to focus on client service, technical work, and leading delivery? We value that, too. We’ll discuss how your strengths and interests fit the role, with clear expectations about what you’ll own.

RDB is growing. You’ll have opportunities to shape how we work, contribute ideas, and take on new responsibilities as your skills and interests develop.

Responsibilities

~1 min read
  • →

    A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, economics, or a related field, and/or an advanced degree in accounting or taxation.

  • →

    Experience reviewing and/or approving tax returns and supporting workpapers.

  • →

    Experience managing client relationships and coordinating multiple engagements.

  • →

    Experience developing staff and providing useful technical feedback.

  • →

    Experience with client billing, time tracking, engagement budgets, and explaining the value of services.

  • →

    A secure, professional remote workspace, dependable internet, and availability for Pacific Time collaboration during agreed working hours.

  • →

    Professional references from prior employers, supervisors, or clients.

  • →

    Medical, dental, and vision benefits, with the firm currently paying 100% of employee premiums. Dependent coverage is available at the employee’s cost. Coverage begins the first day of the month following your start date, subject to plan terms.

  • →

    A 401(k) match up to 3% of eligible pay, subject to plan terms.

  • →

    Continuing education and growth opportunities, including reimbursement for approved certification, licensing, and professional membership expenses.

  • →

    Optional participation in the firm’s cell-phone plan under firm policy.

  • →

    Personal tax preparation software access and reasonable guidance from firm principals, subject to firm policy.

    Public accounting has demanding stretches, and we want to be direct about them.

    During the heaviest filing-deadline periods, typically within February through April 15 and September through October 15, the role may require 55+ hours per week. Those hours should describe peak stretches rather than the regular year-round schedule.

    Managers balance billable client work with staff development, project management, and firm responsibilities. We’ll discuss annual work and billable-hour targets, how time is categorized, and seasonal scheduling during the interview process.

    Success includes accurate work, timely delivery, strong client relationships, a developing team, and sound engagement financial results. Clear timekeeping and early communication about workload are part of the job.
