You’re experienced. You know how to handle complex work. You’ve taken on reviews, mentoring, and client conversations. You’ve built your confidence over time.
Now, it’s less about proving yourself and more about finding the right place to stay.
Somewhere you feel supported.
Surrounded by people who care about doing good work and helping each other.
Where collaboration is the default, not something you have to fight for.
If you’re at the stage where you want a firm you can grow into, not grow out of, this is that kind of place.
This is a small, established firm with a loyal client base of closely held businesses and their owners. The work is sophisticated but personal, the kind where you know the people behind the numbers.
The partners here are now, they’re looking ahead. The next few years are about succession, growth, and bringing in someone who can be part of that future.
That’s where you come in.
Responsibilities and Expectations
This isn’t a hands-off manager role. They’re looking for an experienced Senior Manager, someone confident in managing people, preparing and reviewing complex work, and guiding clients but who also wants to be part of the future of a firm.
Partnership isn’t a buzzword here; it’s a very real conversation waiting for the right person. You’ll need a CPA if this is your goal (if you have your EA you can still have an equity position).
You’ll have variety, autonomy, and access to clients with real depth. From business owners to high-net-worth individuals, but the core of their work sits with the $1million - $10million in revenue.
You’ll find balance here too. Busy season sits around 50-60 hours, but the rest of the year is manageable, with early summer Fridays and an office culture that genuinely values time away from work. In fact Fridays are always casual, if the works done they don't want you working.
They work hybrid, but being in the office matters especially when you’re leading, mentoring, and setting the tone for others.
If you’ve already built the technical foundation and are now looking for something with more purpose, more influence, and a real chance to leave your mark this could be the move that defines the next chapter of your career.
Not ready with a resume? Or want a bit more information before applying? No problem. You can still apply the old-fashioned way, or just reach out to start a conversation with Imogen via LinkedIn or the Distinct Recruitment website or contact her cell at 312-584-9844. She’ll be happy to tell you more about the firm, the job and the prospects before you commit further.
Imogen Talbot-Slack is a Recruiter with Distinct Recruitment.
Think you only have 87% of the required experience? Perfect - apply anyway. The CPA firms we partner with want diverse, interesting people, not corporate clones stamped from the same tedious mould.
Don’t overthink it. The worst outcome is a pleasant conversation about your career. The best? Well, that's where it gets rather exciting.
