Tax Manager

Tax Manager - Seymour, IN

Blue & Co. is more than a CPA advisory firm: We’re a community and we take care of our own. That’s what our mission and culture are all about — empowering employees to live their best lives both inside and outside of work.

Here is what you would be doing in the role of Tax Manager:

1. Build relationships with clients. Talk to clients and get to know them. We value words as much as we value numbers, and it is through engaged conversations you will come to learn what is important to a client. We are looking for individuals willing to engage in conversation beyond tax matters.
2. Find solutions. You are the client’s advisor and as such you own the matter you are working on. Sometimes you will have the answer. Sometimes you will have to research it. Other times you will need to seek guidance from other people in the firm. Your role is to make sure the client has the answer they need.
3. Continually learn and become a subject matter expert in your area(s) of interest.
4. Plan, schedule and manage all aspects of tax engagements.
5. Prepare business and individual tax returns.
6. Perform field work to include the preparation of complex work papers along with monitoring the work paper preparation of Staff Accountants.
7. Training and mentoring Staff Accountants.

Here are the qualifications you should bring to the table:

1. CPA designation required.
2. 5-9 years of relevant tax experience in a similar public accounting firm position.
3. Proven financial, analytical, technical and interpersonal skills.
4. Excellent client service and demonstrated business development skills.
5. Demonstrated ability to oversee and manage engagements, prioritize engagements and supervise/motivate staff.
6. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
7. Ability to travel to client locations, mostly day trips; minimal overnight travel is required.
