Tax Manager CPA
Partnership 1065 and S Corporation 1120S Focus

$140,000 to $160,000 base
Remote first near Aurora, Illinois
Some tax roles are about pushing volume.
This one is about earning trust.
This is an opportunity for a CPA who enjoys complex entity work, values client relationships, and wants to practice tax in an environment built on professionalism and steadiness not noise.
If you take pride in clean workpapers, thoughtful planning conversations, and being the person clients rely on year after year, this role will feel different in the best way.

About the Firm
This is a growing 25 person firm combining tax, planning, and advisory services, with unusually long tenure.
Clients stay. Team members stay. Leadership invests in doing the work correctly and building relationships that last. Tax is central to the firm’s identity and tax professionals collaborate closely with advisory colleagues throughout the year.
The focus is long term stability and smart growth, not short term production spikes.

About the Role
This is a true ownership seat for a CPA with strong partnership and S corporation experience.
You will step into an established book of entity clients and play a visible role in both compliance and advisory work. The work is entity heavy with a strong mix of planning, projections, and direct client interaction.
This role begins as an individual contributor position, with influence across the team and the opportunity to mentor and guide staff.
The environment is remote first and collaborative. There are occasional in person client meetings, but flexibility is real and respected.

What You Will Be Doing
Owning and reviewing Partnership 1065 and S Corporation 1120S returns
Leading tax planning conversations and preparing projections
Serving as a steady and trusted presence for long standing client relationships
Partnering closely with tax and advisory colleagues
Coaching and reviewing the work of staff and seniors
Helping elevate technical standards and workflow consistency

Who Thrives Here
The right CPA for this role:
Has strong entity tax experience and sound technical judgment
Enjoys client interaction and can explain complex matters clearly
Communicates early and avoids last minute surprises
Takes pride in mentoring others without ego
Is looking for a long term home, not another short stop
This role rewards consistency, curiosity, and professionalism. It is not built for someone who measures success by volume alone.
