We’re seeking a tax professional to own and support the full scope of corporate tax compliance for a multi-entity, multi-state organization. This role, created due to internal promotion, serves as the company’s primary internal tax resource and a trusted partner to accounting leadership.
Reporting to the Controller, you will lead income tax compliance and gradually expand into sales and use tax and personal property tax responsibilities, with training and development provided along the way. This position is ideal for someone with a strong public accounting or corporate income tax foundation who is ready to step into an in-house role offering broad ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to grow their overall tax expertise.

• Maintain tax systems/ERP tools and drive process improvements
• Ensure organized retention of returns, workpapers, and documentation
• Support special projects and cross-functional initiatives
Minimum Requirements
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• Approximately 5+ years of progressive tax experience
• Public accounting and/or in-house tax experience preferred
• Strong income tax compliance experience required; exposure to sales/use or property tax is helpful but not required
• CPA or CPA-track preferred
• Strong Excel skills and familiarity with tax compliance systems
• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively across teams
• Interest in learning and expanding into broader tax areas over time
Why This Opportunity
Join a stable, well-established organization where you’ll work closely with a tax-savvy Controller and truly own the tax function. This role offers meaningful responsibility, strong visibility with leadership, and the chance to broaden your skill set beyond income tax in a supportive, collaborative environment that values professional growth and long-term career development.
