Company Description We are a very sophisticated boutique tax consulting practice. We provide both income tax and inter vivos estate and gift tax planning to ultra-high net worth clientele. We do not provide any tax compliance, probate, trust administration or litigation services, as this is strictly an income tax and estate, gift and GST tax consulting firm. All members of our team work directly with the Managing Partner. They also work directly with our highly successful business-owning clients and their families, as well as "C Suite" executives. We also collaborate and often jointly serve clients alongside numerous professional advisors throughout the US, each of which also serve the ultra-high net worth market. These include RIAs and asset management firms, smaller CPA and law firms, top level insurance advisors, investment bankers and other merger and acquisition firms, and valuation specialists. We are a business development focused firm that provides "white glove" service to our clientele. Our team members relish developing cutting edge tax strategies in both the income tax and estate and gift tax planning fields. We are truly one of the premier boutique firms of this type in the United States. This opportunity would be ideal for a business development-oriented Associate Tax Attorney that wishes to build their own legacy. We provide lucrative compensation opportunities well beyond the base salary, which is directly related to your successes in developing clients and project opportunities. This is not a position for an associate who wants to be handed most of your tasks and assignments. Rather, entrepreneurship and business development is a hallmark of our practice. Much of our compensation model is built on this strategy and it has worked very well. This is a great opportunity to build your tax law and CPA practice side by side with a senior level tax partner who has built and led multiple national and regional tax and wealth planning practices of this type.
