You know what's frustrating?
The more experience you gain, the less control you seem to have over how you actually work.
This firm takes a different approach.
You'll have a say in your workload, half day Fridays throughout the summer, and outside of busy season the team returns to a 40 hour week.
This is a 25 person CPA firm where you'll work closely with Partners, build genuine client relationships, and see far more than one small piece of the puzzle.
The client base includes small businesses, agriculture, trusts, estates, and individual clients, so the work stays varied. You'll review returns, support year end accounting, help clients understand what their numbers are actually telling them, and continue building your review experience rather than getting stuck preparing returns forever.
Whether you work remotely, in a hybrid setup, or from the office, you'll be trusted to manage your time while staying connected to the team.
With Partner retirements already on the horizon, this isn't just another Senior Tax Associate role. It's a genuine opportunity to step into more responsibility now and position yourself for Partnership in the future.

If you're just browsing the job boards and you haven't dusted off your resume yet, that's not a problem. Give me a call first on 312-564-5028. Or, if you prefer, send me a connection request or message on LinkedIn (Lucy Weibel at Distinct), and we can chat there instead.
If you're in accounting and unsure whether to apply because you don't meet every single requirement, I would still encourage you to apply. We work with CPA firms that are committed to building diverse, inclusive workplaces, and if this role is not quite right, there is a good chance I will be working on another opportunity that is.
