What’s the difference between a manager and a senior manager? I’m a manager currently and want to know what I need to do to be a senior manager. Meaning how do I stand out for promotion. I feel like senior managers are more tax technical and manage more people. I also think they handle the business aspect, like profitability and client relationships.

I mean I think you nailed it.. SMs are potential partners in training like college athletes are in training for the pro leagues. From everyone I’ve heard growing a book of business and connections is the path forward at this point, more so SM. Just show you’re technically capable and have interest in sales, I think that’s what most partners are looking for. Not even sure you have to have amazing management skills to succeed
