Tax Compliance Consultant

About the Opportunity

A well-established and growing organization is seeking a versatile Tax Compliance Specialist to join its tax team. This is an excellent opportunity for a well-rounded tax professional who enjoys working across multiple areas of taxation rather than being limited to one specialty.

The ideal candidate will be a true “Swiss Army knife” of tax — someone who can step into different areas of tax compliance, independently research and resolve issues, manage competing priorities, and support both day-to-day compliance and special projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare, review, and manage federal income tax compliance, including corporate and partnership returns such as Forms 1120, 1120-S, and 1065.

• Support state and local tax compliance, including income/franchise, sales and use, and property tax matters.

• Assist with international tax compliance, including Forms 5471, 8858, 8865, 1118 and related GILTI/Subpart F calculations.

• Support preparation and review of tax provisions and ASC 740 calculations.

• Research and respond to federal, state, and local tax notices.

• Assist with tax audits, information requests, and interactions with taxing authorities.

• Perform tax research and technical analysis related to new and existing tax regulations.

• Prepare and maintain tax accounting reconciliations, workpapers, and supporting documentation.

• Identify opportunities to improve tax processes through automation, technology, and workflow improvements.

• Assist with tax planning, credits, incentives, and special tax projects as needed.

• Work collaboratively with Accounting, Finance, and other internal departments to gather information and resolve tax-related issues.

• Stay current on changes in tax legislation, regulations, and reporting requirements.

• Take ownership of assigned projects and provide support across the tax function as business needs arise.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field.

• Tax compliance experience in a corporate, public accounting, or similar environment.

• Broad understanding of federal, state/local, and potentially international taxation.

• Experience with corporate and/or partnership tax returns.

• Knowledge of ASC 740 / tax provision accounting is highly preferred.

• Strong tax research and analytical skills.

• Ability to interpret tax regulations and apply them to real-world business situations.

• Strong Excel skills and experience working with tax/accounting technology.

• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities independently.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is not necessarily someone who specializes in only one area of tax. Instead, we're looking for a well-rounded tax professional who can:

• Wear multiple tax hats.

• Jump between different tax issues and projects.

• Research unfamiliar tax questions and determine the appropriate course of action.

• Work independently with limited direction.

• Take ownership of compliance deadlines.

• Partner effectively with Accounting and Finance.

• Identify problems and find practical solutions.

• Adapt quickly as priorities change.

CPA, EA, or Master's in Taxation is a plus.
