Tax Manager

About Mehanna Advisors

Mehanna Advisors is a fast-growing advisory-focused CPA firm that works with medical practices, real estate investors, and e-commerce businesses across multiple states. We are not a traditional “churn-and-burn” tax shop.

Our firm is built around high-level tax planning, clean execution, and sustainable workloads.

If you’re a technically strong tax professional who’s tired of chaotic tax seasons, fire drills, and low-value work — this role is designed for you.

The Role

We’re looking for a Tax Manager who is highly technical, detail-oriented, and confident handling complex tax situations. You’ll review returns, manage tax projects, and play a key role in both compliance and advisory work.

This is a hands-on technical role, not a sales position.

Preferred (Not Required)

• Real estate or closely-held business experience
• Experience reviewing rather than just preparing returns

What Makes This Role Different

• No 60–80 hour tax seasons
• Sustainable ~40-hour weeks, even during busy season
• Advisory-focused work (not just form-filling)
• High-quality clients and cleaner books
• Clear expectations and structured workflows
