About the Job

Requirements

  • You have passed the Steuerberater examination, or are close to passing and will take on the Manager Tax role directly afterward; passing the examination is required for the Manager Tax title.
  • You have one to three years of experience after passing the examination at a Big Four firm, Next 6 firm, or focused mid-market firm.
  • You have held client responsibility, rather than working solely in support of a partner.
  • Candidates with substantial client responsibility but a different background are welcome, including tax advisors with M&A or transaction advisory experience returning to operational client work, tax advisors who chose to join Vogel rather than open a firm, and exam candidates with a clear path to the exam and initial client experience.
  • You have tax expertise in at least one focus area, such as mid-market tax, partnerships, succession, international structures, or another clearly defined specialization.
  • You communicate clearly and reliably in writing and in client conversations, including on difficult topics with managing directors.
  • You use AI for research, drafting, analysis, and client communication, and seek to automate repetitive tasks.
  • You take entrepreneurial responsibility for your client portfolio and value strong standards in your work.

Responsibilities

  • Take over and independently manage an existing client portfolio, including annual financial statements, tax returns, and ongoing tax advice.
  • Serve as a direct point of contact for owners and managing directors of mid-market companies.
  • Develop the client portfolio through expanded engagements and cross-selling across Vogel service areas, including tax structuring, financial planning and analysis, and M&A preparation.
  • Support acquisition of new clients with management and the business development team, including initial meetings, technical assessment, and transition to ongoing service.
  • Build a personal network through industry events, tax advisor associations, and local contacts in the Ostwürttemberg region.
  • Begin developing a specialization in an industry or tax topic, build internal visibility, and attract initial clients seeking that expertise.
  • Provide technical leadership to three to four Associates by reviewing client work, mentoring them, and making escalation decisions.
  • Conduct performance evaluations for direct reports in coordination with the Senior Manager Tax.
  • Participate in hiring at Associate level through networking, candidate screening, interviews, technical assessment, and hiring recommendations.
  • Work closely with executive management on strategic client matters and report to the Senior Manager Tax.
  • Develop the assigned client portfolio independently, lead initial closing meetings without Senior Manager support, and conduct quarterly performance conversations.
  • Generate measurable portfolio growth through own client acquisition or cross-selling and deliver cross-sell opportunities to other Vogel service areas.
  • Develop demonstrable specialization within the client portfolio and become the escalation point for standard cases.
