TAX MANAGER JOB SUMMARY

CPA ready for something bigger than your next tax season?

Snelling is recruiting an experienced Tax Manager / CPA for a highly respected, established Lubbock accounting firm offering a career opportunity that doesn't come along often: $95,000-$140,000 annual compensation and the potential for an accelerated path to ownership/partnership.

And here's an important distinction: you will NOT be expected to solicit or generate new business to get there.

This is an opportunity for a CPA who has built the technical expertise and leadership ability to help run a practice - and wants a future that reflects it.

You'll join a close-knit group of professionals who have built lasting relationships with both their clients and one another. For the right individual, ownership/partnership isn't a vague someday possibility. There is potential for that transition to happen quickly.
