Job description

Senior Tax Accountant – Trust & Estates

At this independent firm, the partners have walked the same path you have. They started as associates themselves, so they understand the challenges, ambitions, and career goals of their team. Decisions here aren’t made by distant executives—they’re made by people who truly get it, creating a supportive and hands-on environment where you can thrive.

This isn’t your typical firm. Built from the ground up with a focus on strong client relationships and a reputation for excellence, they’re now growing their Trusts & Estates practice. They’re looking for a Senior Tax Associate or Manager to step in and help elevate this area, working directly with the partner on complex T&E matters.

With 3+ years of experience—at least half in Trusts & Estates—you’ll dive deep into intricate T&E work without being pigeonholed. The firm is small (under 60 people), so while you’ll have specialized responsibilities, you’ll also get exposure to a range of work, including 1040s and business returns.

But it’s not just about the work—it’s about the culture. This firm values connection, whether it’s grabbing drinks after a busy day or shutting down the office for their annual summer social. You’re not just joining a firm; you’re becoming part of a close-knit, supportive community where everyone is valued.

You’ll have the flexibility of hybrid or fully remote work, with a seamless onboarding process to ensure you’re set up for success from day one. No matter where you work, you’ll always feel connected to your team.

Interested? Click apply, and I’ll be in touch to discuss the opportunity. If you’d prefer a chat first, feel free to call me, Imogen Talbot Slack, at 312-584-9844 or connect with me on LinkedIn at Imogen Talbot-Slack, Distinct North America.

Not sure you meet every requirement?
Don’t let that hold you back. This firm is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we’re always looking for talent with a range of experiences. If this role isn’t the perfect fit, we may have other public accounting opportunities that are a better match.
