Description

Taxes Can Be Fun--We Promise.

At The Swanson Group, we approach tax work with curiosity and collaboration. Our team of CPAs and financial strategists thrives on turning complex tax challenges into meaningful wins for our clients. We take pride in cleaning up messy situations, empowering small businesses, and uncovering opportunities others might miss.

As one of the most respected independent accounting and consulting firms in southern Maine, we've built our reputation as a modern, relationship-first practice. We prioritize proactive strategy over rote compliance work--and our clients count on us to help them plan, grow, and succeed year after year.

Founded and led by a self-made woman entrepreneur, our firm brings together deep experience and fresh ideas. We're professional without being stiff, serious about results but flexible in how we achieve them--and we actually enjoy what we do (yes, even in March).

Position: Tax Manager

We're looking for a dynamic, growth-oriented Tax Manager ready to take on a leadership role with a clear path to partnership. This is an opportunity to have a real impact--to shape client strategy, mentor a talented team, and influence the future of a forward-thinking firm.

You'll join an environment that values autonomy, trust, and balance. Expect engaging work, supportive teammates, and the flexibility to make your role fit your life.

What You'll Bring

You're a great match if you:

• Bring 5+ years of experience in preparing and reviewing returns for a mix of entities (individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates/trusts, and nonprofits).
• Have a track record of leading and developing accounting professionals.
• Stay sharp on changing tax laws and enjoy sharing your knowledge.
• Excel in a team-based, collaborative setting.
• Build lasting, trust-based relationships with clients.
• Are excited to live and work in coastal Maine, close to Portland's vibrant food and arts scene. (Our newly updated, dog-friendly office overlooks the Presumpscot River in downtown Westbrook!)

Compensation & Benefits

We reward impact--not hours logged.

• Earning potential of $120K-$150K+, with bonus.
• No business development pressure--we'll match you with existing clients aligned with your strengths.
• Start with a $300K+ client base, with room to grow.

Plus:
