About the job

Senior Tax Manager Summary / Objective: Direct visibility to executive leadership and ownership with a dedicated team beneath you. This role features technical work that is genuinely varied rather than repetitive returns, with no billable hours requirements.

This position is ideal for someone who loves the tax work itself — the research, technical puzzles, and satisfaction of a clean return — while staying close to operations rather than transitioning entirely to administration. Working closely with ownership and operational leaders, you will connect tax technicals to broader financial strategy: analyzing entity structures, translating seasonal performance into strategic direction, and steering key decisions on cash flow and transaction timing.

Essential Functions:

Review complex federal and California tax returns for partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, LLCs, and trusts. Manage the compliance calendar, assign work across the team, and keep the filing season on schedule. Coach and develop a small tax team by teaching core technical concepts and providing quality reviews. Work alongside outside CPA consultants on technical matters and drive open items to resolution. Prepare the annual ASC 740 provision and maintain deferred tax balances. Handle IRS, FTB, and CDTFA notices and examinations from initial inquiry through resolution. Proactively bring planning ideas forward, including entity structuring, §1031 exchanges, credits and incentives, multi-year cash tax projections, and relevant legislative updates.

Requirements:

Active CPA license and 6+ years of progressive tax experience. Deep pass-through expertise, including partnership allocations, basis, §704(c), §754, and §163(j). Direct supervisory experience, including quality review of staff deliverables and team member development. Current PTIN, or eligibility to obtain one prior to the first filing season. Agriculture, agribusiness, or real estate experience is a strong plus, as is familiarity with §263A pre-productive costs, cooperative patronage, and California conformity differences (industry-specific training will be provided to the right technical candidate).

Compensation / Pay Rate (Up to): $150,000.00 - $175,000.00 Per Year
