  • Coordinate with internal finance, operations, and legal teams to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Evaluate and improve tax processes and internal controls
  • Hire and mentor future tax staff (interns, staff-level roles) as the department grows
  • Work closely with executive leadership to develop tax strategy and identify new revenue opportunities within the tax services unit

Qualifications

  • CPA license required
  • 4–8+ years of tax experience in a public accounting firm or corporate tax department
  • Strong familiarity with Form 990, 1120, and general IRS processes
  • Experience in small or midsize firm environments preferred
  • Desire to take ownership and grow into a director or VP-level role
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $120,000–$170,000+ depending on experience
  • Bonus potential: Performance-based, with the opportunity for significant upside based on success metrics
  • Relocation assistance available for the right candidate if not remote
  • Comprehensive benefits package
