We've built a culture rooted in collaboration, communication, and growth where great ideas are valued, and your voice makes a difference.

As a Tax Manager in our Private Funds group, you'll focus on serving hedge fund clients while also engaging with private equity, fund of funds, and real estate funds.

  • Review and provide strategic insight on partnership and corporate tax returns, with an emphasis on hedge fund structures, investor allocations, and income recharacterization issues.
  • Advise clients on complex topics such as securities trading, mark-to-market accounting, fund structuring, and management / incentive fee arrangements.
  • Interpret new and evolving tax legislation affecting hedge funds, identifying implications and opportunities for tax efficiency.
  • Manage multiple priorities while maintaining exceptional quality and client service standards.
  • Provide guidance on relevant federal, state, and international compliance matters, including PFIC, CFC, and withholding considerations for cross-border investors.

Client Experience

  • Drive engagement planning and execution, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and quality across all client interactions.
  • Collaborate with partners and directors to identify and implement tax strategies that align with client goals.
  • Oversee billing, budgeting, and WIP management for assigned engagements.
  • Develop trusted, long-term client relationships built on proactive communication and exceptional service delivery.
  • Team Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and mentor junior and senior staff to help them grow technically and professionally.
  • Promote a culture of teamwork, open communication, and continuous improvement within the pod.
  • Contribute to the development of young leaders through active involvement in training and mentoring programs.
  • Support process improvements and knowledge sharing across the broader Asset Management Tax team.
  • Demonstrate forward thinking, innovation, and accountability in all aspects of leadership.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Accounting or related field required.
  • CPA license or progress toward CPA strongly preferred.
  • 5+ years of progressive public accounting experience, with a focus on private fund taxation (private equity, hedge, or real estate funds).
  • Proven experience managing client relationships and engagement teams.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex tax concepts.
  • Strong leadership, project management, and organizational skills.
  • Initiative to learn, challenge the status quo, and operate effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, Adobe) and familiarity with tax preparation software.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Experience reviewing complex partnership structures and multi-tiered entities.
  • Familiarity with fund-level and investor-level allocations and related reporting.
