Base Salary: $250,000–$275,000
Bonus: Annual bonus + profit sharing opportunity
Location: Fully remote, but must live within or relocate to within 45 miles of Fort Lauderdale, FL
Job Type: Full-Time
Industry: Public Accounting
A highly respected public accounting firm is seeking an exceptional Tax Manager to join its growing tax practice. This is a rare opportunity for a technically strong tax professional with Big 4 experience, an active CPA, and a strong academic background to step into a fully remote role with top-tier compensation, meaningful client exposure, and one of the strongest work-life balance structures in public accounting.
This role is ideal for a Tax Manager who wants the sophistication of complex tax work without the traditional public accounting lifestyle. The firm serves high-quality clients across complex real estate, partnership, individual, trust, and high-net-worth tax matters.
Although the position is fully remote, candidates must be willing to live within or relocate to within 45 miles of Fort Lauderdale for occasional client meetings, team events, mentoring lunches, and access to the firm’s South Florida office.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is not a typical public accounting Tax Manager role. The firm offers high compensation, a remote-first structure, low billable hour expectations, strong PTO, and significant upside for professionals who bring in client relationships.
Highlights include:
• $250,000–$275,000 base salary
• Fully remote day-to-day work
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Profit sharing on clients you originate
• Approximately 50% of profits on self-sourced clients
• Only 1,550 minimum billable hours
• Approximately 6 weeks PTO
• Compressed workweek flexibility, creating the potential for additional long weekends and extended time off
• 401(k) match
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Access to an award-recognized South Florida office, if desired
• Strong culture, high standards, and a firm recognized for employee experience and work-life balance
