At Trueline, we believe the best accounting professionals don’t just want to prepare returns — they want to help shape strategy, build systems, advise clients, and create something meaningful.
We’re growing our tax and advisory practice and are looking for a senior tax leader who wants more than a traditional public accounting role. This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible position where you’ll help architect and scale a modern tax function focused on advisory, client relationships, and long-term growth.
If you’re currently in public accounting and feeling limited by bureaucracy, unclear partner-track timelines, or rigid corporate structure, this role offers the chance to make a real impact in a flexible, entrepreneurial environment.
What You’ll Do- Lead advanced tax planning and advisory engagements for closely held businesses and high-net-worth clients
- Review complex business tax returns including S-Corps and Partnerships
- Build and improve tax workflows, systems, and processes
- Mentor and support junior tax staff
- Collaborate closely with leadership and accounting/advisory teams
- Help shape the long-term direction of the tax practice
- Serve as a trusted year-round advisor to clients
- Remote-first, highly flexible work environment
- Significant autonomy and decision-making authority
- Opportunity to build processes instead of inheriting outdated systems
- Entrepreneurial, growth-oriented culture
- No requirement to bring a book of business
- Real leadership and ownership upside
- Collaborative environment focused on responsiveness, trust, and client value
- Active CPA license required
- 6+ years of public accounting experience
- Strong business tax and advisory background
- Experience with closely held businesses and/or high-net-worth clients
- Strong communication and client relationship skills
- Comfortable operating in evolving, fast-paced environments
- Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
- Leadership or mentorship experience preferred
- Competitive compensation package targeting approximately $130K–$170K total compensation
- Bonus and profit-sharing opportunities
- Long-term leadership and potential ownership path
- Flexible remote work environment
- High-autonomy culture with strong work/life flexibility
Strong preference for candidates located in or near:
- St. George, UT
- Cedar City, UT
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Las Vegas, NV
- Phoenix / Scottsdale, AZ
This role is primarily remote, with occasional in-person collaboration expected.
Ideal BackgroundsThis role may be especially appealing to:
- Tax Managers or Senior Tax Managers at regional CPA firms
- CPAs frustrated with unclear partner-track opportunities
- Advisory-focused tax professionals seeking more influence and autonomy
- Former small firm owners or solo practitioners looking for support and stability
- Entrepreneurial accountants who want leadership upside without running an entire firm themselves
