Tax Director - Partnership Track

Tax Director | Owner | Denver Tech Center (Hybrid)

Are you a Tax Manager, Senior Manager, or Director looking for a genuine path to partnership without the relentless grind of traditional public accounting?

Our client, a well-established and growing CPA firm in the Denver Tech Center, is seeking a Tax Director who wants to become an owner and help shape the future of the firm. This is a succession-focused opportunity for a high-performing tax professional interested in earning equity and transitioning into partnership

Unlike many firms, growth here is driven by exceptional client service, technical expertise, and trusted advisory relationships—not cold calling or aggressive business development expectations.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Clear path to equity partnership


• Hybrid work environment in the Denver Tech Center


• Strong work-life balance compared with traditional public accounting firms


• Opportunity to influence firm strategy and future growth


• Established, referral-driven client base


• Leadership opportunity with responsibility for mentoring and developing staff


• No expectation to spend your time cold calling or aggressively pursuing new business

•

  • Manage, mentor, and develop a team of approximately three direct reports
  
  
  • Participate in firm strategy, succession planning, and future growth initiatives
  
  
  • Help grow the practice through strong client relationships and high-quality advisory work
