CAS Senior Associate
CAS Senior | Boutique Independent CPA Firm | Hybrid | Chicago Area
Location: Hybrid — Chicago Area (3 days in office / 2 days remote)
Compensation: Up to $110,000 base + performance bonus
Requirements: 4–5+ years CAS experience | QuickBooks proficiency required
We are an independently owned CPA and business consulting firm based in the Chicago area — boutique in size, sophisticated in operation. Founded over 30 years ago, we have grown into a tight-knit team serving entrepreneurs, small business owners, and individuals nationwide, with deep expertise in real estate accounting and professional services.
We are tech-forward, fully paperless, and operate with the infrastructure of a firm much larger than our headcount. What we have held onto — intentionally — is the culture. Collaborative, entrepreneurial, family-oriented, and built around people who take ownership of their work and their clients.
We promote from within. The partners around you built their careers here. That is not a talking point — it is the track record.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- Boutique firm, real responsibility — you are not a cog in a large firm machine. You manage client relationships directly, work alongside partners, and have real visibility into the work you produce
- Hybrid that actually works — 3 days in office, 2 days from home, no set days, no micromanaging. First month on-site for onboarding, flexible after that
- Diverse, interesting client base — entrepreneurs, small business owners, and real estate clients ranging from individual investors to businesses with revenues in the tens of millions
- Tech-forward environment — fully paperless, modern tech stack, and a firm that stays ahead of how accounting is evolving
- Promotes from within — the partners here grew up in this firm. If you want to build something long-term, the path is there
What We Are Looking For
- 4–5+ years of CAS or outsourced accounting experience in a professional firm environment
- Advanced QuickBooks proficiency — Online and Desktop; ProAdvisor certification a plus
- Strong foundation in financial reporting, general ledger management, payables and receivables, payroll, and cash management
- Experience with payroll and expense management platforms
- Comfortable managing engagement budgets, timelines, and client deliverables independently
- Strong communicator — you will work directly with clients and partners regularly
- Detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and adaptable to new workflows and systems
- Real estate accounting experience a plus
What We Offer
- Base salary up to $110,000, commensurate with experience
- Annual performance bonus — up to 8%, paid out in June
- Medical and dental — 100% employer-paid (Blue Cross Blue Shield)
- 401(k) — 3% Safe Harbor contribution, no employee match required
- Annual reviews and raises in January
- Hybrid schedule — 3 in / 2 remote, flexible after onboarding
- A firm small enough to know your name, large enough to keep you challenged
