Senior Tax Associate — Hybrid Mentorship

We’re currently partnering with a growing public accounting firm in the Chicagoland area that is looking to add Tax Senior Associates and Senior Tax Accountants to their team.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to gain broad exposure across multiple industries rather than being siloed into one niche. The firm works with clients in areas including manufacturing, construction, trucking, high-net-worth individuals, and closely held businesses.

• Broad client exposure across diverse industries and entity types
• Relaxed, collaborative culture with a strong suburban feel despite a downtown client base
• Strong work-life balance without excessive busy season hours
• Flexible hybrid schedule with only 3 days in-office
• Opportunity to expand into higher-level reviewing and client-facing responsibilities
• Strong mentorship and long-term growth opportunities post-tax season
• Anti-Big 4 culture focused on development, flexibility, and retention
• Offices located in Naperville and St. Charles

• 2+ years of public accounting tax experience
• Experience with 1040s and high-net-worth individual returns preferred
• Exposure to business returns within manufacturing, construction, or related industries is a plus
• CPA preferred or actively pursuing
• Open to candidates from firms of all sizes, including Big 4 backgrounds
• Candidates currently at the Senior Tax Associate or Senior Tax Accountant level are ideal
• Strong communication and client service skills
• Competitive compensation and bonus potential
• Flexible hybrid work environment
• Strong long-term growth and advancement opportunities
• Stable team environment with strong retention
• Broad technical exposure and accelerated career development
• Collaborative culture with leadership visibility and mentorship

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow within public accounting while avoiding the burnout and niche specialization often found in larger firms.
