About the role
Tax Associate | Cleveland, Ohio | HybridWhat if busy season did not mean giving up your life for three months? This firm caps hours at 40 a week, all year round. No 70-hour marathons and no giving up your life to public accounting throughout the spring. You do great work, you go home. Simple as that. You will be joining a stable, growing firm. They will encourage and support you to progress, not just hand you a to-do list and vanish until review season. The partners are visible and actually take notice of your work and reward it. There is four weeks of PTO, a hybrid setup that actually works, and a team that values quality over chaos. The right person? Someone who still enjoys public accounting but is tired of being worked into the ground just to move up half a rung. This role offers long-term stability, growth, and the chance to really enjoy your job. Now, here is the thing about job ads: most people treat them like a test. They try to tick every single box before applying. Do not do that. If this sounds even remotely like your kind of place, apply. The button is not a life commitment; it is a conversation starter. Or, if you prefer an actual human chat, call me. I am Bethan Kirby at Distinct North America on 412-991-2084. If Indeed hides my number, you will find me on LinkedIn. I am usually up by 6amEST and happy to talk before your day starts, or after 5pm if that suits better. Think you only have 87% of what is needed? Perfect. The firms I work with want real people, not robots built from HR checklists. Worst case? A nice chat about your career. Best case? You find the job that actually fits you. Ref: INDPOM | 34493
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.
