Federal Tax Manager

We are a rapidly growing, global manufacturing company headquartered in Alpharetta, GA. Our innovative products serve a diverse range of industries, from advanced building materials to agricultural applications. As we embark on our journey to become a publicly‑traded entity, we are expanding our tax team to build a best‑in‑class, public‑company‑ready function. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in a dynamic, high‑growth environment.

• Collaborate with Accounting to ensure timely and accurate tax accounting entries and provision-to-return reconciliations.
• Maintain and document internal controls over tax reporting in compliance with SOX or similar frameworks.
• Coordinate with external auditors on tax provision support and disclosures for financial statements.
• Monitor federal tax legislative changes and assess potential impacts to the company’s financials and operations.
• Support M&A due diligence and integration from a federal tax and reporting perspective.
• Drive process improvements to streamline data collection, provision modeling, and compliance review.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• CPA strongly preferred.
• 6 or more years of experience in corporate income tax (federal) with strong exposure to ASC 740 and tax provision work.
• Background in public accounting (Big 4 or regional) and/or corporate tax department with outsourced compliance model preferred.
• Solid understanding of U.S. corporate tax law, consolidated return regulations, and GAAP tax accounting principles.
• Experience with tax provision software (e.g., One Source, Corptax, Longview, Alteryx) and ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards).
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Proven ability to work cross‑functionally and manage external relationships effectively.
