We are toogeza, a Ukrainian recruiting company focused on hiring talent and building teams for tech startups worldwide. People make a difference in the big game, and we may help find the right ones. Currently, we are looking for a Tax Manager – Office Lead (Principal in Charge) for Numica.

About the Role

~1 min read

Several years of public accounting and tax experience, ideally working directly with small and mid-sized businesses, closely held companies, business owners, and individual clients.

Strong tax expertise across areas such as:

Individual tax
Partnerships
S Corporations
C Corporations
Tax planning and advisory

Familiarity with common U.S. tax returns such as 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120S.

Experience owning client relationships, onboarding clients, advising business owners, and handling complex client conversations.

Experience leading, supervising, or mentoring accountants, bookkeepers, or tax staff. Formal people-management responsibility is preferred but not mandatory for exceptional step-up candidates.

Comfort remaining hands-on through busy season — this is not a purely managerial role.

Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with both clients and team members.

A high level of ownership, independence, and agency — you are comfortable taking responsibility for outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.

A tech-forward mindset and openness to learning new systems and working in an increasingly AI-assisted accounting environment.

Experience with tax software such as UltraTax, ProSeries, Drake, or Lacerte is helpful, but not required. Strong accounting fundamentals and adaptability are more important than experience with a particular platform.

What We Offer

Compensation is flexible and depends on experience, location, and scope of responsibility.

✓Base compensation can range approximately from $100,000 to $200,000+ annually.

✓For an exceptional senior candidate capable of overseeing multiple New Jersey practices, compensation above this range may be considered.

✓Performance-based bonuses may be tied to client retention, client satisfaction, operational performance, and future growth.

✓Continuing education and CPA/EA license support.

✓Paid training and professional development.

✓Paid time off.

✓Flexible schedule as the practice becomes established.

✓Potential hybrid / work-from-home flexibility after the initial transition period.

✓401(k) and health insurance may be available depending on the individual employment arrangement.

During the first 6–12 months, success will primarily be measured across three areas:

Client retention — maintaining the existing client base through the ownership transition.
Client satisfaction — ensuring clients continue to receive high-quality, trusted service.
Technology adoption and operational efficiency — successfully implementing new workflows and tools while improving how the practice operates.

Numica continues to acquire accounting practices across the U.S., creating a much faster leadership path than the traditional accounting-firm model.

A strong Office Lead can grow from managing one practice to several offices, and potentially to responsibility for a much larger regional portfolio.

The growth path is driven by performance, leadership capability, and ambition rather than tenure alone.

If this role sounds like a fit — we’d love to hear from you! Just send over your CV and anything else you’d like us to consider.

We’ll review everything within five working days, and if your background matches what we’re looking for, we’ll get in touch to set up a call and get to know each other better.
