Tax Director Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax director in Texas?
Most tax directors in Texas hold a CPA license issued or recognized by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Examination and meeting Texas education and experience requirements. A bachelor's degree in accounting or finance is the baseline, and many employers prefer a master's in taxation or an MBA. Candidates typically progress through senior tax accountant and tax manager roles in either public accounting or corporate tax departments before reaching director level.
How much do tax directors make in Texas?
Tax directors in Texas earn a median of about $80,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,380 for the lowest 10% to over $132,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire tax directors in Texas?
Employers hiring tax directors in Texas right now include Weaver, Alvarez & Marsal, and BDO, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of energy majors, Fortune 500 headquarters, and large regional financial institutions means corporate in-house tax director roles are especially common alongside openings at the Big Four and national accounting firms.
Which Texas cities have the most tax director jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Plano hold the most tax director openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its density of energy and petrochemical headquarters, Dallas draws heavily from financial services, insurance, and retail corporate offices, and Austin's rapid expansion of technology and semiconductor company headquarters has added a growing share of in-house corporate tax director roles.
Are there remote tax director jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most senior finance roles, because tax compliance, provision work, and tax planning are largely desk-based and document-driven. About 19% of tax director openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting a broad shift in how corporate tax functions operate post-pandemic. Federal income tax compliance, ASC 740 provision management, and tax research roles tend to be the most remote-accessible, while state and local tax positions often require more on-site collaboration.
How can I get hired as a tax director in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a public accounting career at one of the large national or regional firms with significant Texas practices, where associate and senior associate roles in tax provide structured progression toward manager and eventually director. Large Texas corporate employers like energy companies and financial institutions also hire tax analysts and senior tax accountants as feeder roles. Earning a CPA license through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy and completing a master's in taxation gives candidates a concrete credential edge when making the transition into a director track.
Where can I find and apply to tax director jobs in Texas?
