Director of Tax (CPA)

CORVIDA is reimagining how affluent families manage their finances. We're building the modern alternative to a family office by delivering sophisticated financial management to HNW families through a combination of white-glove service and AI-driven efficiency. Backed by Fieldcrest Ventures, we are preparing to launch with 100 founding families in January 2026. This is your chance to join our founding team and help define an entirely new category of financial service. As Director of Tax at CORVIDA, you'll be the firm's chief trust signal and technical authority for high net worth families ($10M-$50M+ each). This isn't a traditional tax partner track role – it's an opportunity to architect scalable systems that deliver family office-quality service at revolutionary speed. You'll serve as our in-house expert on complex multi-entity and multi-state taxation, QA all tax deliverables to ensure compliance well below industry error rates, and establish best-in-class service standards. You'll collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed decades of expertise into AI workflows, build and manage our CPA team, and safeguard our reputation during the critical launch phase. This role is as much about innovation and leadership as it is about technical tax expertise. You'll help CPAs serve at scale while transforming how wealthy families experience tax advisory – moving from annual compliance to continuous optimization. Requirements Active CPA license (required) 10+ years specializing in tax services for high net worth individuals Mastery of multi-state planning, complex entity structures, trusts, and estates Knowledge of international tax and alternative investment structures Experience managing and developing tax professionals We're looking for a Senior Manager or Director-level tax leader who's frustrated by traditional firm limitations and bureaucracy. You want to move beyond annual compliance to continuous tax optimization. You see AI as the future that must be embraced, not a threat to be avoided. You have proven ability to design quality systems and processes from scratch, comfortable with radical transparency and knowledge capture. You value impact over prestige – choosing to help build the future rather than chase the partner track. You bring an entrepreneurial spirit, excited to build something new rather than inherit legacy structures. This role isn't for someone who needs traditional firm hierarchy, fears technology disruption, prefers maintaining status quo processes, or measures success by billable hours rather than client outcomes. Benefits $275,000 annual salary (plus up to $125,000 in annual performance bonus) Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage Flexible PTO with better work-life balance than traditional firms Full support for CPA licensing, CPE, and professional memberships Opportunity to shape the future of financial services as part of our founding team CORVIDA isn't just hiring employees – we're assembling builders who will own and shape the future of financial services. If you're ready to redefine tax advisory and architect the systems that make it possible, we'd love to talk.
