Jobs in South Dakota 2026 (Now Hiring) - Smart Auto Apply

What if the next step in your tax career gave you more influence—not just more work?

You've built the technical skills. You know how to manage deadlines, review complex returns, work with clients, and navigate busy season.

Now you want a role where that experience actually means something.

An established public accounting firm in the Sioux Falls area is looking for an experienced Senior Tax Manager who wants to become a key part of the firm's future.

This isn't a role where you'll disappear into a large team. You'll work directly with ownership, have a voice in the firm, develop meaningful client relationships, and help mentor the people coming up behind you.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work directly alongside firm ownership
• Have a real voice and influence within the firm
• Established client relationships and a strong local presence
• People-first culture where flexibility is actually valued
• Opportunity to mentor and develop the next generation
• Smaller team where your experience and ideas are noticed
• Clear opportunity for continued leadership and career growth
• A firm looking for someone who wants to build something long term

What You'll Be Doing

• Review complex individual and business tax returns
• Lead tax planning and advisory conversations
• Manage and strengthen key client relationships
• Oversee engagements and help keep projects moving
• Mentor and develop staff
• Work directly with ownership on client and firm needs
• Identify opportunities to improve service and grow relationships
• Become a trusted resource for both clients and the team

What We're Looking For

• Strong public accounting tax background
• Tax review experience
• Experience managing client relationships
• Leadership and mentoring ability
• CPA strongly preferred
• Someone who sees the bigger picture beyond preparing and reviewing returns

Where This Can Go

This is for someone who doesn't just want their next job.

It's for someone who wants to find the firm where they can make an impact, build lasting relationships, influence the future, and continue growing as a leader.

You may be comfortable where you are.

But if you've ever wondered what your career could look like in a firm where you're closer to the decisions, closer to the clients, and closer to the future of the business—this conversation is worth having.
