Senior Tax Manager – Partner Opportunity

About Tomahawk Creek Group (formerly Douglas L. Freeman, CPA, LLC)

Tomahawk Creek Group exists to foster growth and build legacies through trusted financial guidance, providing clarity, confidence, and strategic insight that help our clients navigate complexity, seize opportunities, and achieve their personal and business goals. We provide sophisticated accounting & advisory services, tax planning, financial leadership, consulting services, and estate planning tailored for businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and families. Additionally, we offer expertise to professional service firms by helping alternative investment managers, investment bankers & M&A advisors, wealth advisors, attorneys, and their clients navigate growth, transactions, tax complexity, and financial decision-making with confidence.

We have over 150 years of accounting and business leadership experience. In fact, we have retained its two successive owners, because their commitment to and relationships with clients remain our touchstone. As business owners and operators, we understand urgency and remain a responsive partner to our clients.

Our firm encompasses non-career public accountants whose experience and practical solutions to our clients’ tax and business needs support them to be the best in their fields. We prefer a person whose experience mirrors ours: working in accounting departments of large and small businesses and in corporate finance, FP&A positions and CFO roles. With this experience, we are uniquely positioned in the industry to understand businesses from the inside while providing marketplace-driven services and perspectives.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced CPA to join a professional advisory firm working with closely held businesses and high net worth individuals.  The ideal candidate will have 10 or more years of high-level corporate/partnership tax preparation experience across a range of industries.  You’ll manage the client relationship, including business returns, the owners’ individual returns, quarterly projections and estimates, and year-round tax planning.

This role is ideal for a technically strong, client-focused professional who is ready to operate with a high degree of autonomy, lead difficult conversations, and help build a strong team.  He/she will value learning about our system, getting to know our clients and understanding the culture our employees and clients love.

What you’ll do:

Tax Compliance & Planning

Serve as the primary advisor on complex federal and multi-state tax engagements for closely held pass-through entities and their owners. Ensure the team delivers accurate, timely returns, projections, and estimates.

Client Relationships

This is not a behind-the-scenes role — you will be the trusted advisor in the room with firm leadership and clients. Build long-term client loyalty through proactive communication, sound judgment, technical depth, and responsive service.

Firm Development

Contribute to the continued growth of our tax practice by identifying planning opportunities, supporting business development, and collaborating across tax, and other service lines.

Career Path

This is more than a Senior Tax Manager position. For the right individual who demonstrates technical excellence, leadership, sound judgment, and a commitment to serving clients, there is a genuine opportunity to become a partner in the firm. We are looking for someone who wants to help build the future of our practice—not simply fill a position.

If you’ve reached a point in your career where you’re looking for meaningful work, great clients, and the opportunity to build equity in a growing firm, we’d like to talk.
