Business is constantly evolving, and more than ever, staying competitive is all about identifying and adapting to change. Where there's change, there's risk, and our clients look to us for the authoritative experience and insights into strategic tax opportunities. As a Tax Manager, you'll play a key role in that mission, providing tailored tax compliance and consulting for some of our most prestigious clients across all backgrounds.
The opportunity
Private Client Services (PCS) is a growing practice within EY, and you'll see that growth reflected in your career. The team has a dedicated focus toward serving privately held companies and their owners and their families. These clients span from family owned businesses to private equity owned companies.

That will make you a trusted advisor and role model for your clients and our people across multiple teams, making this a great place to develop a diverse network of collaborative colleagues.
