Tax Manager Glenview, IL
- Hybrid $140,000
- $180,000 Everyone in public accounting expects busy season to be busy.
What people are starting to question is why it has to spill into the rest of the year as well. This firm actually looked at that properly. They brought in an external consultant to review hours, engagement and turnover, then built things around what they found rather than just accepting it. Busy season sits around 55 to 60 hours. Outside of that, you are back to a normal working week. Turnover is low because people are not burning out. The role itself is not boxed in. You might enjoy working with high net worth individuals and trusts. You might prefer a broader mix across owner managed businesses. Most people here sit somewhere in the middle. What matters is that you are comfortable owning client relationships, reviewing work, and being the person clients rely on. You will have support around you, but you are trusted to run your work without being constantly pulled in different directions. There is a real mix of profiles in the team. Some are true generalists who oversee everything from accounting through to tax. Others have built up their own client base over time and act more like a go to advisor for their portfolio. There is space for both here, and the role can flex depending on how you like to work. CPA or EA works. The firm sits at that sweet spot around 70 people. Big enough to have a strong client base and proper support around you, but still small enough that you are known, your work is visible, and you are not lost in layers. Partners are involved, approachable, and still close to the work. You are not waiting three levels up to get an answer or sign off. Comp is open depending on level and what you are bringing, broadly in the 140 to 180 range for Manager to Senior Manager level. If you are at the point where you want more ownership, better balance, and a role that actually adapts to you rather than the other way around, this is worth a conversation. 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. She's been recruiting in finance for over 9 years, with a focus on public accounting firms across Illinois and Indiana. Think you only have 87% of the required experience? Perfect
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.
