Tax Director
\nDeer Park, IL
\n \nThere’s an assumption in public accounting that if you want the really interesting, sophisticated work, you have to work for one of the biggest firms.
\n \nYou don’t.
\n \nThis is an established, independent CPA firm in Deer Park with a client base and level of work you might not expect from a firm of their size.
\n \nThey work with complex privately held businesses alongside public companies, and there’s a strong transactional side to the practice too. Think M&A, due diligence, tax structuring and businesses going through genuinely interesting periods of change.
\n \nNow they’re looking for someone senior on the tax side.
\n \nThis is primarily a review role. They already have good people who can prepare the work, so they need someone who enjoys being the person the team can turn to when things get more complicated.
\n \nThere’s a lot of partnership, S Corp and C Corp work, alongside complex individual returns for high net worth clients and corporate officers. There’s also scope to get involved with international and transactional work depending on your background.
\n \nYou might already be a Tax Director or Partner.
\n \nOr perhaps you’re at a larger firm, you’ve built a strong technical background and you’ve reached the point where you’d quite like to keep the interesting work without everything else that comes with a huge firm.
\n \nThey’re open minded about where you’ve gained your experience, too.
\n \nYou’ll need your CPA and strong review experience, but you don’t necessarily need a Big 4 name on your resume. If you’ve worked with sophisticated clients, you’re technically strong and you’re comfortable researching the answer when something unusual lands on your desk, they’ll be interested.
\n \nIt’s a fully onsite firm, which is worth knowing upfront. A lot of their work is collaborative and time sensitive, so they’ve deliberately kept everyone together rather than moving towards a remote model.
\n \nThe trade off is a genuinely team focused environment, where you’ll know the people you’re working with rather than disappearing into a huge department.
\n \nBusy season on the tax side tends to start later than at many traditional tax firms and runs through April 15. They offer PTO and comp time around the additional hours, alongside a particularly generous retirement package.
\n \nThey’ve been patient about this hire because they’re looking for the right person rather than simply another person.
\n \nSomeone technically good. Someone they can rely on. And ideally someone who wants to stick around and become an important part of the firm.
\n \nIf you're just browsing the job boards and you haven't dusted off your resume yet, that's not a problem. You can give me a call first on 312-564-5028. If you prefer, you could drop me a connection or message, and we can pick things up there.
\n \nIf you've read this advert and you're unsure whether to apply because you don't have every bit of experience listed, I'd still encourage you to apply. We support the CPA firms we partner with in building diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces, and the right attitude often goes further than ticking every box.
\n \nIf this position isn't quite right, it's highly likely I'll be working on another Public Accounting opportunity that is.
