Tax Manager

About Howard Financial

Howard Financial is a tech-forward outsourced accounting and finance firm serving clients across Vacation Rental, Hospitality, Consumer & E-Commerce, and Development & Real Estate. We combine strong technical accounting with modern tools to give our clients clarity and confidence in their numbers.

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 full 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 & What You Bring

• Enrolled Agent (EA) credential or equivalent experience, with a proven track record in U.S. income tax and year-end work
• Support all areas of the tax practice while running point on sales tax: compliance, filings, nexus reviews, and client questions (prior sales tax experience is a plus, not a must)
• Prepare and review business and individual returns, managing deadlines across a multi-client portfolio
• Communicate clearly with clients and internal teams
• Own your work end to end, staying organized and on top of details without needing to be chased
• Help build tax processes and documentation as the team grows, staying current on federal, state, and local changes
  
  
  

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
  
  
  

Is Howard Right for You?

Howard isn't for everyone, and that's intentional. We're a fast-growing startup, which means things move quickly, priorities shift, and not every process is fully built yet. We're looking for people who:

• Take initiative and act before being asked
• Aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves and dig into the details, even when the work isn't glamorous
• See ambiguity as an opportunity to build, not a reason to wait
• Are hungry to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility over time
  
  
  

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay, based on experience
• Quarterly performance bonus, tied to team and individual results
• Unlimited paid time off
• 100% remote work, collaborating with a global team from anywhere
• 10 paid holidays per year, choose local or U.S. holidays
• Annual performance reviews with clear feedback and growth discussions
• Career growth opportunities as the tax function expands
• Learning culture where curiosity, feedback, and continuous improvement are encouraged
• A supportive team of sharp, friendly people who care about great work
