Sr Tax Manager

The Sr. Tax Manager owns Crumbl's day-to-day tax operations across the U.S. and Canada — hands‑on responsibility for indirect tax compliance, substantive review of income tax filings prepared by external advisors, and ownership of the full compliance calendar. This role is Crumbl's internal technical resource on tax matters and supervises one Sr. Tax Accountant. Specialist structuring matters are resolved with external advisors and the SVP of Finance;

identifying those matters early and framing the question well is an expectation of this role, not a shortcoming in it.

• Multi‑state sales and use tax compliance and Canadian GST/HST, QST, and PST filings, including
• Net Suite‑to‑portal reconciliation, GST recovery, and new registrations as the footprint expands
• A documented taxability matrix covering franchise fees, royalties, technology fees, marketing fund contributions, merchandise, and training revenue
• Review and sign‑off on all indirect tax returns prepared by the Sr. Tax Accountant prior to filing
• Sales tax configuration in Net Suite and exemption certificate management; monitoring monthly reporting for locations collecting incorrect rates and coordinating remediation through Franchise Partner Coaches
• State and provincial registrations, notices, annual reports, and indirect tax audits end to end

• Day‑to‑day execution with Crumbl's external tax provider — data requests, internal timelines, deliverable quality, and deadlines
• Review of externally prepared federal, state, and Canadian returns and extensions, with substantive scrutiny of filing positions rather than tie‑out alone
• Review of the R&D credit study, Section 174 / 174A treatment, UNICAP calculations, and proposed method changes; escalating elections that carry cash impact
• Quarterly estimates and review of the quarterly apportionment file, verifying income ties to the financial statements and testing sourcing methodology
• Franchise tax and gross receipts filings including Delaware franchise tax, Texas margin tax, Washington B&O, and Ohio CAT

• The quarterly tax distribution estimate per the operating agreement, for SVP of Finance and investor review, and confirmation that distributions are funded on schedule
• K‑1 timing with the external provider and tracking of partnership tax attributes including net operating losses and credits
• The permanent establishment monitoring protocol for Mexico — employee travel, in‑country activity, contract execution, inventory location — escalating any change in facts promptly rather than at period end
• Monitoring of U.S. state and Canadian provincial nexus creation from system expansion, employee presence, marketplace facilitator rules, and economic thresholds, flagging registration requirements before obligations accrue
• Coordination of transfer pricing documentation, cross‑border withholding, Japan corporate income tax filings, and Crumbl International profitability with external advisors

• Monthly tax accruals, reconciliation of tax‑related balance sheet accounts, review of the externally prepared income tax provision, and support for tax‑related audit requests
• The tax compliance calendar, with a named owner and due date for every filing obligation, domestic and international
• A written inventory of Crumbl's material tax positions and the rationale supporting each, documented contemporaneously rather than reconstructed after the fact
• Partnership with FP&A, Accounting, Legal, and Operations to bring tax considerations into new initiatives, promotions, product launches, and entity changes before they go live

• Supervision and technical mentorship of one Sr. Tax Accountant, executing a written development plan that expands their ownership of Canadian indirect filings, apportionment, sales tax risk review, and annual registrations
• A documented quarterly technical review covering changes in law, filing positions, and open risks
• Franchise‑facing tax questions routed through Franchise Support

• Minimum 6–9 years of progressive tax experience,…
