Evaluate corporate tax matters across multiple jurisdictions and identify issues requiring further research or escalation.

Support the tax function with sales and income tax analysis using tools such as CCH ProSystem Fx and related tax software.

Contribute to entity-related tax considerations, including documentation and coordination connected to entity formation activities.

Partner with internal stakeholders to maintain an efficient tax review process and uphold filing readiness throughout the year. Requirements 10-15+ years of tax experience, with substantial exposure to income tax and state tax matters.

Strong background as a tax generalist with the ability to review work across domestic corporate tax areas.

Demonstrated experience preparing tax support schedules and technical documentation, even if not directly completing returns in the role.

Knowledge of annual income tax provision processes and related reporting requirements.

Familiarity with corporate tax return environments and tax technology such as CCH ProSystem Fx and CCH Sales Tax.

Ability to communicate effectively with state tax representatives and manage tax correspondence effectively.
