    Sr. Tax Manager

    Lynnwood, WA

    Are you a Senior Tax Manager looking for an opportunity with a fast track to becoming a partner? Do you enjoy developing client relationships and working with small businesses and high-net-worth individuals? Then this could be the role for you!

    Our client, an established boutique public accounting firm with a tight-knit team of experienced tax accountants, wants to add a Sr. Tax Manager.  As the Sr. Tax Manager, you will be key to the leadership team and front-facing with top clients.

This is not our client’s business model.
