Tax Director - Personal Tax Advisory | Cleveland, OH | Mid-sized CPA Firm

The problem when you get to the director level is that the better you get, the harder it becomes to find a job worth moving for.

A new email address and a different office are not particularly compelling reasons to move.

What might is joining a firm at a point where your opinion actually matters.

This firm has recently taken on investment and is planning to grow, both organically and through acquisitions. They are investing in people, technology and infrastructure as part of it.

You will work with high net worth individuals and business owners on complex individual, fiduciary and gift tax matters, while leading and developing the management team.

The bigger attraction is having a senior seat while the firm is changing, rather than joining 5 years later when all the interesting decisions have already been made.

They are looking for a CPA with 15+ years of experience. International individual tax experience is preferred, but not essential.

Here is the truth about applications.

Many people treat them like a checklist, where missing one item means instant rejection.

That is not how this works.

If this role interests you, apply. The apply button is not a commitment, it is the start of a conversation.

Prefer a chat? Call me at .

I start at 6am EST, so mornings work. After 5pm EST is fine too, though I may be slightly less lively.

Think you meet most but not all of the requirements? Apply anyway. The firms we work with want capable, interesting people, not cookie cutter accountants.

Do not overthink it. The worst outcome is a friendly conversation about your career. The best outcome is where it gets exciting.
