Tax Senior → Tax Manager: $115.5k → $125k (8.2% raise) + $200k+ book
Am I getting completely hosed or is this normal in a small firm?

Small private firm (~30 people), 100% remote Texas.
• 8 months post-CPA
• 8 yrs total exp when promotion hits
• Handed a real $200k+ book + direct report
Exact bump: $115.5k base → $125k base (+ same bonus %) = 8.2% total increase
Private-firm tax people only — drop your actual Senior → Manager % or dollar jump (year + rough firm size appreciated). No Big 4.

I'm sorry, are you saying you have a 200K book? If so I think you're actually overpaid. I assume the staff cost makes up most of the difference between your comp and your book value. Notwithstanding back office costs it sounds like the partner is getting scraps on your book. Doesn't seem to make economic sense, the target for comp as a % of revenue is like 33%, not 90%.

Makes more sense now. I'd call you a super senior rather than a manager, then, and in that event your comp is appropriate/maybe even a bit high for your market (remote in TX so I'm assuming LCOL or barely in MCOL).

Appreciate the responses. But dang, this market is worse than I thought.

sounds about right, you're a FIRST year manager at a "small" firm. At best, you'd do 5k maybe 10k more if you were to hop to another firm which isn't worth it.

Seems reasonable

This seems fine.

you were basically paid a manager salary as a senior

That’s a fair salary for a small firm as M1.

I feel like I've been lowballed, can someone explain the below breakdown please?

Base salary: 60k
Quarterly quota (per quarter): 107k
Quarterly bonus (per annum): 23k
130% Annual bonus = 11.5k
"23% commission on quota minus base": 37k (don't understand this)
"Proposed 23% commission on 150% quota minus base": 86.5k
Sales commission threshold per month: 22k
OTE: 122k
Cost/Sales: 28%

That base salary is lower than my previous base by a significant amount by 32.7%

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
