    Reporting to:  Director of Tax
    Location: Lenexa, KS/ Topeka, KS - Onsite
     
    Overview:
    Are you a seasoned tax professional who enjoys the work but is worn out by the long hours of public accounting?
     
    Join a dynamic in-house finance team where you can apply your expertise in a complex, multi-entity environment — without the traditional busy-season grind.
     
    As our Tax Accountant, you’ll support federal and multi-state tax compliance and planning across approximately 30 business entities. With ongoing business growth, new ventures, and evolving initiatives, this role offers meaningful, strategic tax work — not repetitive client returns.
     
    We’re looking for someone who is technically strong, detail-oriented, and confident in managing complex tax matters, while continuously improving processes and thinking beyond the checklist.
     
    What you’ll do:

    • Prepare documentation for and review returns prepared by external CPA firms
    • Analyze book-to-tax differences
    • Prepare state apportionment schedules
    • Support tax-related disclosures and documentation
    Quarterly Tax Planning & Payments
    • Prepare quarterly tax projections using budgeted and forecasted financial data
    • Assist in estimating annual tax liabilities
    • Submit quarterly federal and state tax payments and maintain documentation
    Tax Notices & Correspondence
    • Research and respond to federal and state tax notices
    • Communicate directly with taxing authorities to resolve issues
    • Maintain documentation of resolutions
    External Firm Coordination & Special Projects
    • Serve as liaison between the Company and external CPA firms
    • Conduct tax research to support compliance and planning initiatives
    • Participate in process improvements and special projects as assigned
    Experience you’ll bring:
    • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field (or equivalent experience)
    • 3–5 years of public accounting experience with corporate and LLC tax preparation
    • Strong knowledge of federal and multi-state tax compliance
    • Proficiency in Excel
    • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills
    • Ability to manage competing priorities independently
    Bonus Points:
    • Experience in preparing and filing multi-state tax returns
    • Experience working within complex, multi-entity structures
    What you’ll get:
    • Amazing benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401k (with matching options)
    • Generous PTO package from your start date
    • Access to an on-site café, gym, and primary care
    • Continuous personal and professional development opportunities
    • Recognition for hard work & exemplary performance
    • Employee-sponsored events…and more!
