What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Manager position at Distinct | North America?
Tax Manager - North Suburbs
This firm is one of those rare finds with a team that sticks around. You probably haven’t seen an ad from them in years—because people don’t leave. The team enjoys a low-stress environment, which helps avoid the burnout that drives many to look for new opportunities. During tax season, the average workweek is around 55 hours, which is manageable. The only exception is the final stretch before the deadline, where hours can peak to 60-65 for a short period of 5-7 days.
The firm is growing, too. With a few managers nearing retirement and some new financial planning partnerships in the works, there are plenty of exciting opportunities ahead. Plus, with strong client referrals coming in, they’re positioned to bring in even more business.
One of the reasons the firm has such low turnover is its fantastic culture. The team works hard, but there’s a strong sense of camaraderie, and flexibility is built in. You’ll enjoy a hybrid work schedule, with even more freedom during the off-season. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, you’ll get every other Friday off, so you can make the most of summer with a 32-hour work week whilst being paid full time.
What You’ll Need:
- CPA or EA (or actively working toward it)
- Experience with 1120s, S Corps, and complex Partnerships
- Ability to mentor and guide junior team members
- Experience working with venture capital clients and private equity investments is a plus
Your Role:
- Manage tax compliance and planning for a variety of clients, including 1120s, S Corps, and complex partnerships
- Review individual returns (1040s) for high-net-worth individuals
- Support and mentor associates as they grow in their careers

Not Sure You Meet All the Qualifications?
We still encourage you to apply! If you don’t meet every requirement, don’t let that stop you. The firm is dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace, and we are always looking for talent with a range of experiences. If this role isn’t the perfect fit, we may have other opportunities in public accounting that are a better match.
Salary : $110,000 - $150,000
