Tax Manager, up to $90K

Typically tax positions are relatively similar:  quiet work, by yourself in a corner, with long hours.  At the end of a very long day there's usually little to show for your efforts other than a few filled out forms. 

Apply to join a firm that will value your 5+ years of experience in the tax field by allowing you the opportunity to mentor others, pay you what you're worth and offer you a balanced lifestyle while facilitating a clear path to becoming a partner in the firm.  For those of you who live outside the beltway, this position is headquartered in Fairfax County. 

Requirements:

• 5 to 7 years of Tax industry experience (non-profits, small business, corporate and/or individual)
• Public Accounting experience only please
• CPA preferred
• Ability to manage and get involved with strategy

To apply, just send an e-mail with  your resume to Jason Howell or call me: 703.715.2100.

 

Cheers,
Jason
