GSB Search Associates LLC has been retained to identify a Tax Manager or Senior Manager on behalf of an established and growth-oriented CPA firm located in Overland Park, Kansas.
This role is about unlocking a more strategic and satisfying path in public accounting. If you have a successful career history but are sensing limited future growth or a lack of cultural fit, and wondering if there’s a better long-term future, there is. You owe it to yourself to investigate this opportunity to join a true team with the foundational principles of professionalism, responsiveness, and quality.
Why This Firm Is Different
Clients come to this firm for more than just tax prep—they stay because the team delivers proactive, personal, and practical tax strategies year after year. Communication, accessibility, and relationship-building are baked into the culture.
This is a firm where:
- Staff stay and grow—one partner began as a staff accountant just 10 years ago.
- Partnership doesn’t require a massive book of business—just commitment to clients and quality.
- Flexibility and work-life balance aren’t perks—they’re the norm.
- Clients value having a true advisor, not a call center or faceless preparer.
- Strategic consultation is the norm. “If a client doesn’t need planning, they don’t need us.”
If you believe tax advisory is more than compliance, and that clients deserve tailored strategies and strong relationships, you’ll feel right at home here.
Immediate Opportunity To:
- Lead relationships with a significant number of established clients.
- Act as a year-round consultant—help clients build proactive tax strategies.
- Perform and review complex tax research.
