Senior Tax Manager

Back to Jobs

Overview:

We’re hiring for a Senior Head of Tax Avoidance and Legal Schemer Alchemist Position. Oh wait… I mean, are you looking for a complicated CPA job otherwise known as Senior Tax Manager in Spokane or North Idaho for a CPA firm where you could neatly put your soul on the partner plan and maybe not feeling all that jazzed about the options of just jumping from one firm to the other? Like transitioning from Coke to Pepsi. We’re the Coke that miraculously has Jack Daniels already in it now! Whoop Whoop.

Hey there tax form filer. Your job sounds boring to us, that’s why we want you to do this crap so no one else has to melt their brain thinking about it… and all we really have to offer you is interesting folks, convoluted 50 state registrations and world wide income and paying tax literally everywhere and hoping to do it totally accurately so we don’t go to jail and move on. No one loves paying taxes. Although no one loves living in a third world country where a crooked dictator can do what they want so maybe taxes and our nationwide dysfunction accomplish something.

Whatever your case. We’re looking for a fun person to work with our vibrant group and sometimes inspired financial and accounting folks to try to file all this crap we have to file all over the place on time and accurately and maybe you’ll have a crazy idea at some point to make sure we pay as little as legally and legitimately possible. Think Ted Turner and conservation easements on weird Buffalo ranches in North Dakota. Yeah. Do whatever you want here… Just make sure we don’t go to jail or do something illegal.
