We are looking for a seasoned tax manager to join our high net worth and legacy planning practice. To be successful in this role you should have substantial experience working with high net worth individuals and the trust and estate issues that often go hand in hand with those types of returns. Of course, it doesn’t hurt if you also have some exposure to pass through entities, but that’s not essential. If you want to work with a high performing, super collaborative team, we want to hear from you!

Work whenever and wherever you want.

We don’t just accommodate remote work, we invite it, support it, and celebrate it. Our tax and audit teams may be spread across the country, but they work together seamlessly and successfully. While a local candidate is preferred for this role, we will still consider nonlocal candidates. The expectation is the same whether you live locally or not - to come together at various points in the year for firm events and team collaboration. We trust you to get your work done, whether you’re in person, hybrid, or fully remote.

A culture where flexibility and balance add up to success.

At Perkins, our leadership team know that public accounting is a demanding profession and is committed to a people-first culture that respects your time, values your contributions, and supports a sustainable career.

We believe that when you’re set up for success, we all win. That’s why our expectations are both clear and reasonable: full-time managers have a target of 1,375 charge hours (2,300 total hours annually), giving you the structure you need without the burnout.

During peak season, you can expect to log around 50 charge hours per week, with some weeks trending higher as deadlines approach—but you won’t be doing it alone. We collaborate, support each other, and always finish strong together.

Time off to recharge.

Empowering our staff with ample time off is central to how we operate and an important component to giving you the time you need to recharge. In addition to 5 weeks of PTO, enjoy 14.5 paid holidays and paid leave options, including parental leave.

A smart move for your career.

Join our team, and you’ll work with a damn good group of seasoned accounting professionals who thrive on a culture of respect, support, and being refreshingly easygoing, without sacrificing crucial career development and experience.

We’ll give you the tools and resources to do your best work and mentorship programs that go above and beyond standard training, including self-selected development courses and career coaches. Our open-door policy gives you easy access to leadership, and our “choose your own adventure” approach to career development allows you to grow your career the way you want. We invite you to focus on your passions, promote you when you’re ready, and celebrate each career milestone you experience with us.
