Job Description

Tax/Accounting Manager
Marietta, GA – Hybrid

Are you a Senior Tax Accountant or Tax Manager who’s thrived in a smaller CPA firm setting and ready to take the next step in your career? Do you enjoy working closely with clients, having a voice in decisions, and making a real impact instead of being “just another number” at a large corporate firm?

Our client, Kirschner & Company, LLC, is a well-established accounting, tax, and consulting firm with more than 30 years serving metro Atlanta. They’re looking for a Tax/Accounting Manager who wants the best of both worlds: the stability of a long-standing firm and the growth opportunities of a practice that values fresh ideas, autonomy, and leadership.

• True Work-Life Balance - reasonable tax season hours and flexibility.
• Direct Client Impact - work face-to-face with privately held businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and owners who value your insight.

• Professional Development - in-house CPE, structured goal-setting, and a firm that invests in your growth.

• Lead tax, accounting, and audit engagements for small businesses and high-net-worth clients.
• Prepare and review complex returns (corporate, partnership, trust, estate, and individual).
• Manage workflow and staff assignments, while training and mentoring team members.
• Conduct tax planning and research for a variety of industries (construction background a plus).
• Build trusted client relationships through proactive communication and advisory support.

• CPA license (or actively working toward it).
• 5–10 years of recent public accounting experience, preferably with a small-to-mid-sized firm.
• Strong tax and accounting skills, with the ability to both prepare and review work.
• Comfort working directly with small business clients.
• QuickBooks proficiency; ProSystem fx Engagement or UltraTax experience a plus.
• A self-starter with strong organizational skills, client focus, and leadership ability.

Compensation & Growth

This role offers a target compensation range of $120,000 – $150,000+, commensurate with your experience, technical expertise, and leadership contributions. 

In addition, this position comes with long-term growth opportunities. As the firm continues to expand, there is a clear path for advancement.

• Location: Marietta, GA 
• Firm Culture: Supportive, professional, and family-oriented.
• Perks: Company paid employee benefits, paid time off for volunteer work, annual celebrations, and a strong sense of team.
