Full Time Remote Tax Resolution Jobs in Illinois

URGENT OPPORTUNITY - IMMEDIATE FILL

If you have been waiting for the right move, this is it - do not let this one pass you by.

Why This Role Is Different

Most tax resolution roles put you in a grind - high caseloads, little support, and a culture that treats overtime as the baseline. This one is different.

Our client is a high-growth, "Locally-Owned" SMB CPA and advisory firm that has posted 35-45% year-over-year growth for six consecutive years. They have built something genuinely rare: a firm where busy season stays under 45-50 hours per week, turnover runs below 8% in an industry averaging 18-22%, and the culture actually walks the walk on family and work-life balance.

They are growing fast and need a Tax Resolution Specialist who can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact.

About the Firm

This is a well-established CPA and advisory firm with a loyal and growing client base. Over the past six years, they have consistently grown 35-45% year over year while maintaining a culture that most firms only talk about:

• Turnover under 8% - roughly one-quarter of the industry average

• Busy season capped at under 50 hours per week for their professionals

• Family is a genuine priority, not a tagline

• 100% employer-paid benefits, 401(k), and unlimited PTO

• Compensation that has consistently been at or above market

People stay here. That does not happen by accident.

The Role

• Stay current on IRS collections procedures, CSED rules, and evolving state requirements

• Experience representing both individual (1040) and entity (1120/1065/etc.) clients

• Self-directed and organized - you can manage a caseload remotely with minimal hand-holding

Preferred:

• Multi-state resolution and voluntary disclosure program experience

• Background in a CPA firm, tax advisory, or boutique resolution practice

• Familiarity with tax software platforms commonly used in CPA environments

Compensation and Benefits
