Key Responsibilities

In this role, you'll manage a comprehensive portfolio of tax obligations. Primary duties include preparing and filing corporate income tax returns across 30+ states, handling multi-state sales and use tax returns, franchise taxes, and other local obligations for all subsidiaries. You'll maintain meticulous records of all tax filings, payments, and correspondence, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Additional responsibilities encompass assisting the Tax Manager with income tax provisions for financial statements, preparing tax planning schedules like projected effective tax rates, and collaborating on forecasting initiatives. Compliance is at the core: you'll stay abreast of evolving tax laws, interface with tax authorities, and manage audits confidently. As a process innovator, you'll identify opportunities to streamline the tax function, optimizing workflows for efficiency. Serving as the go-to expert on state and local tax regulations, you'll support project managers and financial teams, translating complex tax concepts for non-experts and conducting research as needed.

Candidates must demonstrate deep knowledge of federal, state, and local tax regulations, with the ability to handle audits and correspond with authorities. Excellent analytical abilities, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to staying current on tax policy changes are non-negotiable.
