Are you a seasoned tax professional with a focus in the Trust & Estate areas of personal HNW/UHNW tax and are looking to make a significant impact, keep reading.

Our client, a well-established CPA consulting, advisory and tax planning firm is looking for a Trust & Estate Tax Manager to take ownership of a complex, high-net-worth client portfolio. This is a fully remote role with real technical depth and direct client responsibility.

The Work

You will lead tax planning and compliance for HNW and UHNW individuals, families, and entities. That includes:

• Designing and implementing comprehensive tax planning strategies across personal, fiduciary, estate, and gift tax
• Structuring trust instruments to support wealth transfer goals and minimize tax exposure
• Overseeing preparation and review of complex returns - personal, fiduciary (1041), estate (706), and gift (709)
• Conducting technical tax research and resolving complex issues
• Serving as a primary relationship holder with clients - not just a reviewer in the background

This is a client-facing leadership role. You will be visible, trusted, and accountable.

What You Bring

• 4+ years in tax planning, with meaningful time spent on trust, estate, and HNW work
• Background in a CPA firm, wealth management firm, or law firm - you understand the client profile
• Strong technical command of tax laws and a desire to continue your personal and professional development and growth.
• CPA, JD, or EA required
• The ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to clients who are smart but not tax professionals
• A track record of mentoring staff and building toward results

The Firm

This is a firm with 30+ years of history in its market and a reputation built on client relationships, not volume. The culture is collaborative and people-focused. They have invested in building a successful remote infrastructure, and flexibility is genuine, not performative.

This role is built for someone who wants to do sophisticated work, work with quality clients, and grow without relocating.
