THE ROLE

Build Systems That Scale International Tax Operations

As a Senior International Tax Associate or Tax Manager at CHI Border Inc., you'll review tax returns or forms already prepared by our professional staff or our outsourced resources. You focus on reviewing interenational aspects of returns for expatriates, green card holders, and foreign investors. You will gain experience that is not easily obtainable at other firms.

We're looking for someone with experience reviewing individual income tax returns, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple client engagements. International tax experience is a strong plus but not mandatory. A CPA, EA, attorney designation, or advanced tax background is preferred. Most importantly, we want someone detail-oriented who thrives in a growing, entrepreneurial environment.

We provide guidance and training on our specific practice areas, including expatriation tax, FBAR, FATCA, and streamlined filing procedures. However, if you have prior experience with cross-border tax matters or international information reporting, that will help you ramp up faster and adds significant value to your candidacy.

This is a full-time, in-office or hybrid position located in downtown Chicago, IL. We value in-person collaboration and believe it strengthens team communication and client service quality. Standard business hours apply, with flexibility during peak tax season. You'll work closely with interns, administrative staff, and senior advisors to manage client deliverables and operational workflows.

CHI Border is a rapidly growing firm, and this role is designed to scale with us. You'll gain exposure to complex international tax engagements, build operational systems, and develop leadership skills. As we expand, high performers will have opportunities to take on more client-facing responsibilities, manage teams, and participate in long-term incentive programs. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with the firm.
