Tax Director - Leadership Track | Pelletier & Leo | Irvine, CA (Hybrid)

Overview

We're Pelletier & Leo a modern, full-service accounting firm built by former Big 4 professionals who were disillusioned with large firm and private equity economics and decided to do it better. We're building a boutique, fast-growing firm that puts employees and clients first. And now, we're looking for an entrepreneurial Tax Director who is ready to step into a leadership role, modernize an established team, and help shape the future of the firm.

What Makes This Role Different

  • Lead the Office, Not Just a Book — You'll take responsibility for our Irvine office leading a fast growing team to modernize systems, and improve the client experience. You'll have the full support of a robust corporate team, including sales, operations, and technology.
  • Partner Path with Real Upside — Our business model requires significant growth and we need plenty of partners to achieve our business goals. Pelletier & Leo is not only a top-performing firm on a per-capita basis, it's also a top-performing business.
  • Clients Worth Your Time — You'll work with high-net-worth individuals and closely held entities, where your advisory skills actually matter. Most client relationships are deep, multi-entity, and long-term.
  • Hybrid Flexibility, Real Boundaries — Work from our Irvine office + remote. Our team works 50‑60 hours max in peak weeks, not 80‑100 like your last firm.
  • Culture That Actually Means Something — Our firm is dedicated to finding a place for each talented individual today and tomorrow. We value loyalty, teach people how to grow, and build lifelong careers within our firm.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the day‑to‑day operations of our Irvine office. With the support and oversight of partners, you’ll be the primary contact point for clients and staff.
  • Manage and mentor a strong in‑place team.
  • Review simple and complex individual, partnership, corporate, and trust returns (multi‑entity, multi‑state).
  • Serve as the go‑to advisor for high‑net‑worth clients from wealth generation to wealth investment, from wealth preservation to estate planning.
  • Interface with internal legal, family office, and accounting divisions to deliver full‑circle solutions.
  • Contribute to leadership planning and future acquisitions, as we continue to expand.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • CPA with 5+ years of experience at a national firm (or 7‑10 at a local firm), and a track record of technical excellence.
  • Someone who has been the go‑to person on complex returns, client comms, and junior mentorship.
  • Strong with Lacerte, CCH Suite, and SurePrep or can adapt quickly.
  • You don’t need to have managed a whole office before, but you should want to.
  • You’re coachable, direct, and ready to help grow something bigger than yourself.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • $160,000 to $220,000 base salary (commensurate with experience)
  • Clear path to equity / partnership
  • Health, dental, vision, 401(k)
  • PTO + flexible hybrid work schedule
  • Why People Stay

    Our team doesn't churn. We grow. The people here are smart, collaborative, and deeply invested. If you're the kind of person who always tries to do things better than last year, there's no better place to continue and complete your career.
