Job Description & How to Apply Below
A global quantitative trading firm with offices in the US and Europe.
Perks are substantial: catered breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day in office, a fully stocked kitchen, a dollar-for-dollar 401(k) match up to half the annual contribution limit with immediate vesting, and frequent firm-wide events.
The OpportunityThis is a growth hire as the tax group expands. The scope spans domestic and international compliance, transfer pricing, ASC 740 and IAS 12 documentation, and meaningful process build-out. There's real room to shape how the function operates rather than inherit a finished playbook.
What You'll Own- Preparation of tax return work papers and information packages for third-party preparation of domestic and foreign returns, covering income tax, VAT, and GST
- Coordination with outside firms on federal, state and local, and international returns, including review of all externally prepared filings
- Establishment and maintenance of formal transfer pricing with affiliates, including coordination of new studies as required
- Documentation and analysis of partnership-relevant ASC 740 and IAS 12 work papers and memoranda
- Examination and documentation of local country tax risk across filing positions and transfer pricing arrangements
- Recommendations on the firm's strategic tax direction
- Monitoring of developments in federal, state and local tax, and GAAP/IFRS income tax reporting
- Responses to information document requests from the IRS and state and city taxing authorities
- Cross-functional work on tax issues, regulatory reporting, and process improvement
- Process improvements to the current tax function, including identification of new systems and procedures
- Policies, procedures, and controls for the tax function
- Ownership of the tax compliance deadline calendar
- Ad hoc tax research and special projects
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
- CPA required
- Public accounting or financial services tax experience
- Exposure to partnership taxation and ASC 740; international and transfer pricing experience a plus
- Comfort building process rather than maintaining an established one
- Strong research skills and the judgment to escalation appropriately
- Collaborative approach with the ability to work cross-functionally
Competitive base salary plus performance bonus. Strong benefits package including an immediately vesting 401(k) match.
