Tax Manager
Do you want to work with like-minded people and be rewarded for it? Does the challenge of determining the impact of tax law changes, untangling business issues, minimizing estate taxes, or managing family offices excite you?
Friedman + Huey, a leading tax, accounting, and consulting firm among the AICPA’s Group of 400 firms, isn’t your average accounting firm. We believe in delivering extraordinary client experiences by combining expertise with responsiveness and personalized service to ensure clients get the best solutions – no matter how big or small they may be!
We offer the best of both worlds: the technical resources and breadth of experience of a mid-sized accounting firm and the diversification, personal attention, and camaraderie of a smaller organization. Our team works with high-net-worth clients across multiple industries. We have the sophisticated clientele, services, and software larger firms have but deliver it via a more personalized service platform.

You’ll be responsible for…
- Delivering a full range of tax services in compliance with laws and regulations within timeframe
- Building relationships and interacting with clients while reviewing their tax information and responding to questions and concerns
- Developing staff, managing their workload, and assessing their performance
You need…

- To excel at meeting deadlines and solving problems
