A real path to Partner, at a firm where you'll have a great work/life balance

Send your resume to michael@sherwoodsp.com

A well-established 20-person CPA firm in Madison, Indiana is looking for a Senior Tax Manager to step into a leadership role and grow into Partner. This isn't a vague "partner track someday" pitch. The firm is planning for succession and wants someone who can build relationships with key clients, help lead the team, and become one of the people running the firm.

If you're a tax leader in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, or anywhere else who has been wondering whether there's a better way to do this career, this is worth a conversation.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Clear path to Partner. The firm is hiring with ownership in mind and wants a future leader of the company.
• Hours that respect your life. Even in busy season, the team works about 45 hours a week. Yes, really.
• Flexibility that grows over time. The role is mostly onsite at first while you get to know the team and clients, then moves to hybrid or mostly remote.
• Real variety. Clients range from a few hundred thousand in revenue to a couple hundred million, across many industries. No two days look the same.
• Relocation package available for the right candidate.
• Strong benefits, including an Anthem Gold Blue Access PPO health plan.

What You'll Do

• Lead and review complex business tax engagements for a varied client base
• Provide tax planning and consulting work that goes well beyond compliance
• Build trusted relationships with clients and carry them through the firm's leadership transition
• Mentor and develop staff, and help shape how the tax practice runs
• Work closely with firm leadership on growth, client service, and long-term direction

What We're Looking For

• CPA license required
• Solid tax manager or senior manager experience in public accounting
• Strong business tax background, with comfort in consulting and planning work
• Leadership experience, or a strong drive to lead, mentor, and take ownership
• Someone who wants to put down roots and become a long-term leader of the firm

About the Location

Madison is a charming small town on the Ohio River with a historic downtown and a true "Mayberry" feel. You get the slower pace, lower cost of living, and close-knit community of small-town life, while staying within easy reach of big cities: about an hour from Louisville and roughly 90 minutes from both Cincinnati and Indianapolis. It's a great fit for someone who wants more space, more time, and a better quality of life without giving up a serious career.

The Details

• Title: Senior Tax Manager (Partner Track)
• Location: Madison, Indiana (hybrid after onboarding period)
• Base Salary: $150K-$220K, depending on experience
• Relocation: Package available
• Start Date: ASAP, ideally before year end
• Interested, or know someone who fits this? Reach out directly for a confidential conversation.
