About the role

Experienced Seniors ready to step up considered Remote | Illinois residents only The more you understand a client’s life, the more interesting the tax work gets. Their businesses, investments, trusts and family plans all connect. Having the time to understand the whole picture is where you can really start to help. That’s the kind of work you’ll get into at this boutique tax practice, with room to progress whether you’re already a Manager or an experienced Senior ready for the next step. You’ll work with ultra high net worth individuals, family offices, and private equity and venture capital professionals. Often, you’ll look after the wider family structure, with work spanning individual tax, partnerships, trusts, corporations and international tax. There’s complex work beyond reviewing returns. You’ll get involved in planning, build relationships with clients and help less experienced colleagues work through technical questions. When I asked the Managing Director about the team, he said:“We grew, but without losing what made us good in the first place.”That stayed with me. They’re growing, investing in new tools and expanding their advisory work, while keeping the trust and personal feel of a smaller firm. You’ll have ownership of your work and people around you to share ideas with. It suits someone who enjoys figuring things out, asking questions and bringing suggestions to the table. The team works remotely across Illinois, and you don’t need a CPA to progress here. Your ability and contribution matter, with room to take on more responsibility as the practice grows. We work with CPA firms across the US that are committed to building diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces, and if this isn't quite the right fit, there's every chance I'll know one that is.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
