Tax Manager (or experienced Senior)
Hybrid (2–3 days onsite) | $100,000–$150,000
You don’t need selling on the work. You’ve been doing it long enough to know what this job is.
What matters is the environment you’re doing it in and whether you can actually sustain it.
Here, busy season tops out around 55 hours and the firm is actively working toward making 50 the standard across the tax team.
This is a firm with a younger partner group (majority women-led) who are building something intentionally, not just repeating what’s always been done and ensuring the firm stays independent.
There’s also a structured mentorship programme, so you’re not figuring it out alone.
They want people who are forward-thinking too, people who care about doing good work and want a life outside of it.
You’ll work with private and middle-market clients across a whole variety of industries such as real estate, manufacturing, and NFP. The work is still interesting, a lot of people from larger Top10 and Top20 firms have joined here leaving the politics behind.
Qualifications
You’ve got 4+ years in public accounting (Tax)
You’re reviewing, or ready to step into review work
CPA / EA (or progressing)
There’s progression here if you want it.
There’s balance here if you need it.
And there’s a culture designed to last, not burn you out. They are serious about your wellbeing.
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. 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. She’s been recruiting in finance for over 9 years, with a focus on public accounting firms across Illinois and Indiana. She’s not a career salesperson she’s built her reputation by actually listening to what candidates want, whether that’s better hours, a path to partner, or simply a firm where they’ll enjoy going to work.
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.
