Job description

Ready to Trade Public Accounting Hours for an Amazing Career?

If you’re a Public Accounting Manager ready for a better work-life balance without sacrificing career growth, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for!

I’m working on an outstanding opportunity with a highly respected, established professional services organization in the Chicago Loop known for its exceptional culture, very low employee turnover, and over-the-top benefits. With a hybrid schedule of just 3 days in the office, this is a chance to put your accounting expertise to work in a collaborative environment where people genuinely enjoy what they do.

The Opportunity: Accounting Associate Manager

This role offers a blend of hands-on accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and team leadership. You’ll partner with departments across the organization, provide meaningful financial analysis to management, and help develop and mentor accounting staff.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• Exceptional culture with an impressive track record of employee retention
• Outstanding benefits that go above and beyond the norm
• Hybrid flexibility with 3 days in the Chicago Loop office
• Better work-life balance without the relentless hours of public accounting
• Leadership and growth with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact
• Variety in your work across financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 5+ years of accounting or finance experience
• Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel capabilities
• Experience with financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Previous team leadership, mentoring, or staff development experience
• CPA or CPA candidate preferred

This is an ideal next step for someone coming from public accounting who wants to leverage their technical expertise, continue growing professionally, and enjoy being part of one great organization rather than constantly moving from deadline to deadline.

Must currently reside in the Chicagoland area to be considered and must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
