Job Description

Tax Manager – Construction Focus

Compensation : Up to $150k+ base | 8% avg bonus | $3k-$10k profit sharing

Requirements : CPA required | 5-6+ years tax experience | Construction background preferred

Location : Chicago, IL (Hybrid – Flexible, no set office days)

We're a Top 200 firm that's stayed independent while others chase exits

While most CPA firms position for private equity sale, we've spent nearly three decades building something to last. We're 100+ employees strong with consistent organic growth and a young, innovative partner group focused on the long game.

This role is for someone with construction tax expertise who wants to lead complex engagements, build client relationships, and have a clear path to partnership—without the PE rollup drama.

What You'll Do :

  • Lead tax engagements for construction companies, contractors, and developers
  • Handle percentage-of-completion, job costing, and construction-specific tax issues
  • Develop tax strategies for growing construction businesses and multi-entity structures
  • Supervise and mentor tax staff while building your own book of business
  • Drive business development in construction, real estate, and related industries

What You'll Bring :

  • 5-6+ years of progressive public accounting tax experience
  • Active CPA license in good standing
  • 1-2+ years at reviewer level managing staff and clients
  • Construction industry experience (contractors, developers, real estate)
  • Strong technical skills across entity types and multi-state compliance
  • Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Direct partnership track with young, forward-thinking leadership
  • Remote / hybrid flexibility (no set office days)
  • Manageable busy season - 55 hours max (Jan-April), then standard 40-hour weeks
  • Unlimited PTO that's actually encouraged
  • Independent firm committed to sustainable growth, not quick flips
  • Your construction expertise drives real impact and business development
  • Total Compensation :

  • Base : Up to $150k+
  • Discretionary Bonus : 8% avg (5-10% range)
  • Profit Sharing : $3k-$10k annually
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 401(k) : 3% automatic match
  • Comprehensive medical / dental / vision (PPO / HMO options)
  • Full home office setup provided
  • Total comp typically $165k-$175k+ annually.

    This is ideal if you want to build long-term client relationships in construction and value firm stability over short-term exits.

    Additional Opportunities : We're also hiring Tax Seniors, Senior Managers, and Tax Directors. Reach out to discuss other opportunities.
