Communicate review notes clearly and efficiently to members of the tax team.

Verify supporting documentation, depreciation schedules, and tax elections.

Assist with resolving return‑related issues or responding to tax notices as needed.

Ensure returns meet firm quality standards prior to finalization and filing.

Manage workload to ensure timely review during peak tax season.
