$130,000.00/yr - $200,000.00/yr Direct message the job poster from Distinct | North America Tax Manager If you’ve hit that point in your career where you know you’re capable of more, more ownership, more influence, more say in how things are done but the ladder above you is either moving too slowly or stacked too full… This could be the step you’ve been waiting for. You’ll join a firm that’s been around for 100+ years but feels closer to the modern, entrepreneurial side of public accounting than the rigid, layered one. They’ve chosen to stay independent, to think long-term, and to grow without ever selling out. Just a tight team (less than 20 people) where you actually matter. What you’ll be doing

You’ll manage and review a broad mix of tax work — corporate, partnership, individual and trusts/estates — with plenty of autonomy in how you run your portfolio. You’ll be a true consultant to your clients, involved in planning, advising, and shaping the direction of client relationships. If you’re entrepreneurial or curious about building something of your own one day, even better. You don’t need to bring a book; the firm has a strong client base but, if you do add new relationships, you’ll receive 15% commission for life plus 9% profit-sharing contributions. You get to grow without the pressure of sourcing your own client list. Why people choose this firm

Young, ambitious leadership (your future peers, not gatekeepers) Clear runway to Partnership or ownership if that’s where you want to go Independence is a core value — they have zero intention of selling Stability and entrepreneurship What they’re looking for

~8+ years in public accounting Strong review and compliance experience (closely-held businesses + individuals) CPA preferred (EA considered) Trust & Estate experience a plus, but not a dealbreaker This role suits someone who’s ready to step up, not someone content to coast. If you’ve felt stuck beneath a Partner who isn’t moving, or like you’re a small fish in a very large pond, this could be where everything opens up. 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, focusing 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. Seniority level
