Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced tax professional who wants meaningful ownership, visibility to executive leadership, and the ability to make a measurable impact within a stable, well‑established organization.

- Benefits that stand out:
- Generous PTO
- 401(k) with company match
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision
- Strong training and development investment
- Impact-driven work: You’ll own compliance activities, manage audits directly with both IRS and State authorities, and influence major business decisions with your analysis.
Key Responsibilities:
- Prepare and file Federal corporate/partnership and multi‑state income and franchise tax returns while resolving any technical or e‑filing issues.
- Review financial records and partner with accounting and leadership to assess tax impacts of business activities, including apportionment and allocation across plants.
- Support IRS and State audits by gathering documentation, explaining business transactions, and responding to notices regarding discrepancies.
- Perform annual tax provisions, true‑ups, and tax disclosures in accordance with FAS 109 and FIN 48, including preparing supporting documentation.
- Conduct tax research, monitor regulatory changes, and develop recommendations to identify potential tax‑saving opportunities.
- Execute international tax calculations such as GILTI, FDII, and Section 163(j).
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in accounting or taxation.
