Director of Operations - Tax & Consulting

Director of Operations - Tax & Consulting

Be the operational heartbeat of a growing, people-first team. Our Tax & Consulting group is expanding, and we’re seeking a Director of Operations to take our people, processes, and platforms to the next level.

This is not a back-office role. It’s a chance to shape how the firm scales, how teams work together, and how new firms integrate seamlessly into the organization. We need a leader who can balance execution with empathy—someone who is as skilled at building trust and culture as they are at streamlining processes and driving M&A integrations.

If you love bringing structure to complexity, thrive on connecting people across functions, and want to make a tangible impact on a fast-growing organization, this could be your career-defining opportunity.

What You’ll Do

• Lead with impact : Guide a 20+ person operations and administrative team, ensuring clarity, accountability, and collaboration across Tax & Consulting.
• Be the integrator : Serve as the operational lead for post-close M&A, ensuring smooth onboarding of new firms, people, and processes.
• Optimize & modernize : Drive process improvements and implement technology solutions that enhance efficiency and scalability.
• Champion culture : Foster a people-first environment where communication flows, innovation is welcomed, and teams feel connected to the mission.
• Partner to grow : Work with senior leadership and regional directors to align strategy, execution, and long-term goals.
• Location : Based out of Rockford, IL headquarters or Tax Centers in St. Charles, IL; Iowa City, IA; Cedar Rapids, IA; Dover, DE; or Lewes, DE. Travel will be required during integrations.
• Work Model : More in-office time during onboarding; potential for hybrid (3 days in-office, 2 remote) once established.
• Hours : Standard business hours with flexibility. Expect 55–60 hours / week during Tax Season (Jan–Apr).
• Scope : Leadership role with both operational and strategic impact, balancing hands-on execution with mentorship.

What We’re Looking For
