Flex Time Remote Tax Resolution Jobs in Decatur, GA

Hall CPA is a 100% virtual CPA firm with our team located all over the United States. As a real estate niche-focused firm, we serve Real Estate Investors, Syndicates, and Fund Managers. Our team has a passion for real estate, often owning investment properties themselves.

We are on a mission to change the accounting industry by creating the premier people-first firm where strong and talented team members will thrive. We are innovators of tax services and firm culture with work-life integration. We accomplish this by using the best technology and automation on the market, providing unlimited vacation and sick days, creating an autonomous work environment, holding engaging and ongoing training, and offering health insurance and 401(k) matching. We are committed to your growth - with a defined job leveling framework, a structured mentorship program, and clear pathways from Associate to leadership roles, high performers at Hall CPA have the tools, visibility, and support to advance.

As a Senior Tax Manager at Hall CPA, you are the technical and relationship leader for a multi-million dollar book of business. You own a portfolio of our most complex partnership clients - real estate syndicates, joint ventures, funds, and operating and development companies, and you lead the team that supports them. Your success is measured by client retention and expansion, technical excellence, and the growth of the people on your team.

This role is intentionally different from most senior-level CPA firm positions. There is no expectation for traditional business development or self-sourced origination. Instead, your focus is internal, deepening relationships with existing clients, identifying opportunities to expand services (tax advisory, bookkeeping, outsourced CFO, entity structuring, and more), and engaging the right team to deliver them. We bring the leads; you ensure clients stay, grow, and become long-term advocates of the firm. If you do generate new business through new pipelines, we will support you and reward those efforts, while keeping your primary focus on client retention, growth, and team leadership.

Team members who thrive at our firm have great time management skills, are self-starters, adaptable, take pride in their work, and work well in an autonomous environment. This is a 100% remote role and no relocation is required.
