Tax Manager (Estate & Trust)
Why We Stand Out
Seeking a new challenge where your professional and personal aspirations are not only possible but supported? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you!
As one of the top accounting firms in the country, our foundation is “people first”. In the words of James Kaufman, “We prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being…people see that management is caring and has a priority in their well-being.”
Celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida over a dozen times, Kaufman Rossin has grown to over 600 employees, with offices spanning the tri-county area, including sister entities Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.
