LaSalle Network is hiring for a confidential client seeking a Tax Accountant to join a growing public accounting firm in Chicago.

What's the job?
  • Prepare and review individual, partnership, S-Corp, corporate, trust and estate tax returns

  • Work directly with clients to gather information, answer questions and communicate tax-related matters

  • Support tax engagements across real estate, nonprofit and other industries

  • Collaborate closely with firm partners and senior professionals

  • Use accounting and tax software, including QuickBooks and UltraTax

  • Take ownership of client relationships and contribute to the firm's continued growth

  • Develop your technical and client-facing skills through hands-on mentorship


What's needed?

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field

  • Public accounting tax experience

  • CPA eligible or actively pursuing a CPA license

  • Strong accounting fundamentals and knowledge of tax concepts

  • Experience with individual, partnership, S-Corp, corporate, trust or estate returns

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills

  • Ability to work independently while collaborating in a small-office environment

  • Coachable, proactive personality with an interest in long-term growth


What's in it for me?

  • $80,000-$90,000 salary

  • 100% employer-paid health care

  • Safe Harbor 401(k) with 3% employer contribution

  • Direct mentorship from firm ownership

  • Broad exposure to multiple tax specialties

  • Clear path toward future leadership and potential partnership

  • Flexible, relationship-driven environment outside of tax season

  • Casual dress code and no corporate atmosphere

  • Strong work-life balance, with approximately 50-hour weeks during busy season


If you're ready to build your tax career alongside experienced firm leaders rather than getting lost in a large organization, this Tax Accountant opportunity could be your next move. Apply today to learn more about this confidential opportunity and take the next step toward long-term growth in public accounting.
