Remote Director Tax Controversy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Most Senior Tax Manager opportunities give you a bigger book, more returns to review, and more hours to manage. This one gives you a legitimate path to ownership—without giving up your life to get there.

A sophisticated tax, accounting, and advisory practice is adding a Senior Tax Manager after another year of organic growth.

This is a fully remote opportunity anywhere in the U.S. with a $190K–$220K base, bonuses paid twice a year, flexible PTO, no minimum overtime requirement, and a genuine path to Principal, Partner, and ultimately equity ownership.

The client work is equally compelling. The practice specializes in family offices and real estate private equity sponsors, with significant exposure to complex partnerships, HNW individuals, multi-generational trusts and estates, private foundations, and closely held businesses.

This isn't a high-volume compliance shop. You'll own sophisticated client groups, some with 100+ entities, work directly with clients on complex planning and technical matters, and lead the professionals supporting those relationships.

There are plenty of firms that will offer a Senior Tax Manager more money to manage more work.

This opportunity is built differently.

Fully remote. $190K–$220K base. Two bonuses a year. No minimum overtime requirement. Sophisticated real estate and family office clients. And a path that can ultimately lead to equity ownership.

The practice has grown year after year largely through referrals, and this hire is being made because that growth is continuing—not because someone walked out the door.

If you've built the technical foundation and client credibility but don't want your path to Partner to require sacrificing everything outside of work, this is worth a confidential conversation.
