Tax Manager

If you’re a tax professional who wants to do more than manage deadlines and compliance calendars, this is worth a look.

We are partnering with a rapidly growing organization that is looking for a Manager of Tax to become a key member of its accounting leadership team. This is a hands-on, highly visible position for someone who can own the technical side of tax while also thinking strategically about where the business is going.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across tax provision, planning, transactions, compliance, and process improvement while partnering directly with accounting, finance, legal, and senior leadership.

The exciting part? The tax function is evolving with the business. You ll have the opportunity to improve processes, build infrastructure, and put your fingerprints on how tax operates as the organization continues to scale.

Why You Should Apply

• Step into a highly visible tax role with significant ownership
• Work directly with senior accounting and finance leadership
• Get beyond compliance with exposure to transactions, planning, and strategic initiatives
• Join an organization experiencing significant growth and change
• Opportunity to improve and scale the tax function rather than simply maintain it
• Work across multiple entities and complex business activities
• Excellent opportunity for someone coming from public accounting who wants greater ownership on the corporate side
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

What You’ll Be Doing As Manager of Tax

• Own quarterly and annual income tax provision activities under ASC 740
• Manage tax account reconciliations and provision to return adjustments
• Coordinate federal, state, and local income tax compliance
• Partner with external tax advisors and ensure filing deadlines are met
• Research complex tax matters and document conclusions through technical memoranda
• Support tax planning around new business initiatives and organizational growth
• Assist with tax considerations related to acquisitions, investments, financing, and other transactions
• Partner with accounting and finance teams on entity structures, fixed assets, and other tax sensitive activities
• Manage tax audits, notices, and inquiries
• Strengthen tax controls and improve the flow of information between tax and financial systems
• Monitor changing tax legislation and communicate potential business impact to leadership
• Help create more scalable processes as the organization continues to grow

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Tax, or related field
• CPA required
• At least six years of progressive corporate and/or public accounting tax experience
• Strong working knowledge of ASC 740 and U.S. taxation
• Experience owning or playing a significant role in tax provision and compliance
• Public accounting experience is highly valued
• Big 4 experience is a plus
• Exposure to acquisitions, investments, complex entity structures, or transaction related tax matters is highly desirable
• Experience in a private equity backed, project based, infrastructure, industrial, real estate, energy, or other capital intensive environment translates well
• Strong technical research and analytical capabilities
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with sophisticated financial systems

Beyond The Resume

We  looking for someone who can operate as more than the “tax person.”

You should be comfortable taking ownership, working through ambiguity, and explaining complicated tax matters to people who don t live and breathe tax.

The person who will thrive here is proactive, intellectually curious, organized, confident, and collaborative. You know when to dig into the details, but you can also step back and understand the larger business decision behind the numbers.

What You Need To Know

Experience:

6+ years of progressive tax experience

Interested?

Maybe you’ve spent several years in public accounting and are ready to own tax from the inside. Or maybe you’re already in corporate tax and want a role with more visibility, more complexity, and more influence.

Either way, if you know ASC 740, enjoy solving complicated tax problems, and want to help build something rather than inherit a finished product, I’d love to connect.
