Tax Director - Future Partner

Great Falls, VA (100% Onsite)

Base Salary : $150,000-$200,000 + Bonus Potential

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Are you a CPA with deep 1040 experience, great communication skills, and long-term commitment to public accounting? This boutique firm in Great Falls, VA is seeking a hands-on Tax Director to take over a well-established book of high-net-worth clients and grow into a Partner role. You'll join a close-knit, tax-only team with an excellent reputation, strong retention, and no pressure to bring in your own clients - just the opportunity to inherit a book and lead.

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Partner-Track Succession : Inherit a retiring partner's book of private clients, trusts, and small businesses.
  • True Work-Life Balance : Overtime outside of tax season is rare. First 80 OT hours can convert to vacation - up to 5 weeks PTO possible.
  • Collaborative, Tight-Knit Culture : Stable leadership, strong mentorship, and team camaraderie.
  • Convenient Location : Based in a charming, professional office setting near downtown Great Falls, with easy access to Tysons, Reston, and DC.

Role Overview

  • Lead the preparation and review of 1040, 1041, 1065, and 1120S returns
  • Manage and grow a pre-established book of private clients
  • Oversee and develop junior staff
  • Partner with firm leadership on strategic initiatives and succession planning
  • Use CCH Axcess and QuickBooks for tax prep and workflow
  • Ideal Background

  • CPA required
  • 10-20 years of public accounting or family office tax experience
  • Strong expertise in 1040s; trust & estate experience (1041) is helpful but not required
  • Comfortable managing client relationships and leading a team
  • Must be currently local or already commuting distance to Great Falls - this is a 100% onsite role
  • Who Thrives Here

  • Private client tax professionals who want long-term partnership, not constant churn
  • Candidates from Big 4 or regional firms (especially PCS / PFS groups) seeking a more meaningful and balanced leadership path
  • Individuals who enjoy building strong client relationships and delivering excellent service
