Estate and Trust Tax Manager

We are currently seeking a talented Tax Manager to join our Estate and Trust Tax team.

The Estate and Trust Manager is responsible for assisting our clients with their internal accounting and estate, gift, and trust needs by performing a variety of more advanced accounting and tax assignments.

Together, we strive to help you achieve your professional goals while allowing you the flexibility to reach your personal milestones.
