Director of Tax Services | Leadership Pathway | Irvine, CA (Hybrid)
A Direct Route to Firm Leadership -- Not Just Another Tax Role
We're a progressive accounting and advisory practice led by former Big 4 professionals who wanted to rethink what a firm could be. We left behind outdated hierarchies and private equity pressures to build something better -- a firm that prioritizes people, quality, and balance.
Now, we're looking for an experienced Tax Director ready to modernize operations, mentor a talented team, and help drive our next stage of growth.

High-Caliber, Engaged Clients | Work directly with high-net-worth individuals, families, and closely held entities that value proactive, strategic guidance. Expect deep, ongoing client relationships where your advice truly moves the needle.
Hybrid Schedule, Healthy Boundaries | Split your time between our Irvine office and home. Even during busy season, we limit workloads to maintain sustainability and quality -- not 80-hour weeks.
A Culture Built to Last | We reject the 'burn and churn' mentality of traditional firms. Our philosophy is simple: invest in great people, help them grow, and create careers that endure.
Your Impact
Oversee the day-to-day operations of the Irvine office and serve as the key point of contact for both clients and team members.
Manage, mentor, and develop a high-performing tax team.
Review and advise on a range of complex individual, partnership, corporate, and trust returns.

Strong technical expertise with complex returns and multi-entity structures.
Proficiency with Lacerte, CCH Suite, or similar tax software (adaptable to new systems).
Demonstrated leadership in mentoring, communication, and client service.
