Whittlesey is proud to announce that we have been named one of the “Best of the Best" Firms and one of the “Top 200 Firms” by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA), an award-winning newsletter for the public accounting profession. IPA’s annual “Best of the Best” list ranks top accounting firms with superior financial and operational performance in the most recent fiscal year.

We have an exciting career opportunity for a Senior Tax Manager to join our Tax Team. This position is a hybrid position. Hybrid team members alternate between working remotely at the office, or client locations. This model encourages collaboration and creativity while still providing team members with flexibility.

From the Managing Partner on down, our leadership fosters an open-door policy. We are committed to providing expert service to our clients across all our service areas, and we know that can only be done by employing talented and driven individuals.

Collaboration and community are key values in our culture. Whether you are new to the Firm or have been here for several years, we respect each team member’s unique talents and value their contributions. Whittlesey is dedicated to the communities where we live and work. We sponsor community-driven events throughout the year and encourage our partners and team members to become actively involved in volunteerism.

Benefits and Work-Life Integration

Whittlesey also offers a competitive subsidized benefit package that includes medical and dental coverage. Other benefits include LTD and life insurance, all paid entirely by the Firm, and a 401(k) plan that includes profit sharing.
