Tax Manager (CPA)

Location : Chicago, IL

Job Type : Full-Time, In-Person

Compensation : $95,000 - $125,000 per year (based on experience)

About Us

Client is an established tax and accounting firm serving individuals, small businesses, and other organizations in Chicago's client neighborhood and beyond. We value accuracy in our work, collaboration in our office, and clear communication with our clients.

After remaining a modestly sized firm for the last 30+ years, we're entering a new stage of growth and are looking for additional team members who can help us expand our capacity for reviewing tax returns, heighten the quality of our client service, and contribute to the evolution of our firm.

We're a small, entrepreneurial firm where your ideas matter and your impact is visible. You'll have the freedom to shape your work and the firm's future. While we're currently focused on expanding our tax review capacity, we encourage initiative in all areas. This is a true "you get out what you put in" environment. If you're self-driven, enjoy autonomy, and want to help grow something meaningful, you'll thrive here.

Position Overview

We're seeking a Tax Manager (CPA) with approximately 5-7 years of experience in preparing and reviewing tax returns, maintaining bookkeeping records, and providing client-facing service.

This is a full-time, on-site position located in our Chicago office. It is ideal for someone who can independently manage a book of clients, direct the end-to-end compliance process, and run point on tax engagements with minimal oversight.

This role will be primarily responsible for :

  • Reviewing tax returns prepared by administrative staff and accountants (1040, Schedule C, 1065, 1120, 990, 1041, and others)
  • Signing and submitting accurate returns and reports to the IRS and state departments of revenue
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, guiding them through questions about the results of prepared returns and offering recommendations for future action items

Other responsibilities include :

  • Hiring, training, and supporting junior and senior-level staff accountants and administrative assistants
  • Partner with firm leadership on process improvement, technology adoption, and workflow efficiency
  • Maintaining knowledge of tax laws and accounting regulations as well as any upcoming changes
  • Proactively advise clients on the tax effects of future life changes and events
  • Develop strategies to optimize tax outcomes for clients
  • Collaborate with office team to ensure accurate work and client satisfaction
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Active CPA license (Illinois or reciprocal)
  • Expertise in tax compliance and preparation
  • Proficiency in tax planning and tax strategies
  • Strong knowledge of tax law and regulations
  • Familiarity with professional tax and practice management software systems
  • Ability to manage workload independently
  • Desire to collaborate with office administrators, accounting staff, and firm leadership
  • What We Offer

  • $95,000 - $125,000 salary, commensurate with experience
  • Performance-based bonuses after tax and extension seasons
  • Flexible schedule outside of tax season
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Continuing education and CPA license support
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Your own private office
  • Professional autonomy in a collaborative, low-bureaucracy environment
