About The Role

We're looking for a Tax Manager to join our growing tax team. You'll support the full scope of our tax work, from income tax and year-end filings to compliance projects, while taking ownership of our sales tax function. This is a great fit for someone with solid U.S. tax experience who enjoys being both a hands-on preparer and a trusted point of contact for clients and teammates.

What You'll Do

• Partner closely with the tax team, supporting all areas of the tax practice

• Run point on sales tax: own compliance, filings, nexus reviews, and client questions

• Prepare and review business and individual income tax returns and year-end deliverables

• Manage tax calendars and deadlines across a multi-client portfolio

• Communicate clearly with clients and internal accounting teams, translating tax requirements into actionable next steps

• Help build and improve tax processes, checklists, and documentation as the team grows

• Stay current on federal, state, and local tax changes that affect our clients

What We're Looking For

• Enrolled Agent (EA) credential, or equivalent experience and knowledge at that level

• Proven experience in U.S. tax preparation and review, especially income tax and year-end work

• Sales tax experience is a plus, but not required; we'll support you in growing into that ownership

• Highly organized, able to juggle multiple clients and deadlines without losing track of details

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

• Proactive and comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with clients in hospitality, vacation rental, or e-commerce

• Familiarity with tax software and sales tax platforms (e.g., Avalara, TaxJar)

• Experience in an outsourced accounting or CPA firm environment

Why Howard

• Fully remote role with a collaborative, growing team

• Direct impact on building out our tax function

• Exposure to a diverse client base across multiple industries
