Accounting & Tax Manager, CPA

**Albuquerque, NM \| Primarily Hybrid/Remote Outside Tax Season \| Full\-Time** **Salary: $95,000–$125,000, based on experience** We are an accounting, tax, and advisory firm serving clients across New Mexico and other states. We are looking for an experienced CPA to take a meaningful leadership role in the next stage of our growth. This is not a narrowly defined tax\-preparation position. The CPA in this role will have primary responsibility for helping lead our firm\-wide accounting operations while also serving as an important local CPA relationship for our longstanding Albuquerque tax clients. You will oversee recurring accounting services across a portfolio of more than 100 monthly clients, serve as a senior technical resource for accounting and financial reporting matters, and help lead the accountants and bookkeepers responsible for day\-to\-day production. You will also work directly with tax clients and our broader tax team. We are not necessarily looking for the firm's deepest tax specialist. We are looking for a well\-rounded CPA who can independently handle typical individual and closely held business tax matters, recognize when an issue requires additional technical expertise, and coordinate effectively with other tax professionals. The right person will be technically strong, comfortable leading others, genuinely interested in technology, and able to take ownership without needing constant direction. **The Role** As our Accounting \& Tax Manager, CPA, you will have responsibilities across the entire firm, not just our New Mexico office. Your primary focus will be the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of our accounting operations across New Mexico and other states. You will also become an important local CPA presence for our Albuquerque clients, particularly during tax season when several clients prefer traditional in\-person service, including document drop\-off and face\-to\-face meetings. Outside of tax season, the position offers significantly more remote flexibility while maintaining firm\-wide responsibility. **What You'll Do Accounting Operations \& Technical Leadership** * Help oversee recurring accounting services for a portfolio of more than 100 monthly clients across New Mexico and Virginia * Serve as the firm's primary technical and operational resource for non\-tax accounting matters * Oversee monthly and quarterly bookkeeping, close, and financial reporting processes * Review financial statements, reconciliations, adjusting entries, and year\-end accounting work * Ensure client books are complete, accurate, and ready for tax preparation * Oversee payroll services and help resolve escalated payroll issues * Oversee sales tax and New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax compliance and assist with more complex or unusual matters * Oversee 1099 and other recurring accounting compliance processes * Troubleshoot complex bookkeeping, reconciliation, payroll, accounting system, and financial reporting issues * Review
