Job description

We’re seeking a U.S. Tax Manager to join our growing tax team, responsible for overseeing the U.S. tax compliance and reporting process, as well as assisting with strategic tax planning for Vencora on an international scale. This is a newly-created role, arising from Growth. Reporting to the Global Senior Tax Manager, you will be working closely with our U.S. and international Finance Teams and play a pivotal role in developing tax-efficient solutions and processes to support all aspects of U.S. compliance, reporting and diligence.

This role is ideal for someone who possesses meticulous attention to detail, thrives on delivering results, excels at recommending solutions to complex tax challenges, and is comfortable working flexible hours within a dynamic, high-growth environment. Strong social skills, a welcoming phone manner, and a proactive, self-starting attitude are essential. Your exceptional organizational skills ensure no detail goes unnoticed. As a collaborative team player, you work seamlessly within a team but can also drive projects to completion independently when necessary

Job Description

Vencora acquires, strengthens, and grows software and technology companies enabling the daily movement of people. Vencora is wholly owned by Volaris Group, which is part of Constellation Software Inc., publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:CSU).

Ours is a dynamic, evolving environment. In a ‘typical’ year, it would be reasonable to expect multiple Acquisitions; probably including at least 1 in a new jurisdiction; plus an organic growth initiative into a new geography; plus a legal or management re-structure within one of our Regions. Layer on top of this the changing tax legislative landscape and you quickly find a demanding and stimulating role.

We recognize the potential for Tax structure and strategy to add significant value in an acquisitive group. We are inclined to consider creative and complex approaches, where the returns outweigh the risks. The voice of this role will be clearly heard in the deal-planning phase.

Duties & Responsibilities

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the following:

• Manage and co-ordinate all aspects of the U.S. tax compliance process, including the preparation of the consolidated U.S. corporate tax return encompassing federal, state, and local filings.
• Prepare and oversee the preparation of various international tax filings, such as forms 5471, 5472, as well as calculations for GILTI, FDII, and BEAT.
• Review the Sec. 174 R&D analyses prepared by external tax advisors to ensure compliance with all relevant tax laws and regulations.
• Prepare quarterly tax provisions of all U.S. entities in accordance with IFRS for financial reporting purposes.
• Stay current on the latest U.S. tax developments and issues to ensure proactive compliance and strategic alignment.
• Liaison with external tax advisors to understand sales tax, property tax, franchise tax requirements for the portfolio and communicate the same to business units to ensure compliance.
• Conduct tax research to identify opportunities for tax savings and operational efficiencies, contributing to continuous process improvements.
• Participate in tax due diligence as it relates to our US-based acquisitions as needed.
• Assist with U.S. state tax audits with the IRS, state and local tax departments facilitating communication and coordination during tax audits and preparing necessary responses.
• Provide support and assistance in various ad hoc projects as needed, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability in addressing evolving business needs.

Qualifications and Experience Required

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation.
• Post-secondary degree with a major in accounting or finance.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in U.S. consolidated tax compliance and financial reporting.
• In-depth understanding of U.S. tax laws and regulations, including experience with federal, state, and local tax filings.
• Experience in navigating Sec. 174 Research and Development tax credits.
• Solid grasp of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its application in tax accounting
• Proficiency in conducting U.S. tax research to support informed decision-making.
• Strong working knowledge of computerized accounting systems (i.e. BPC, NetSuite), OneSource, and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel
• Software industry experience an asset.
• Proven track record in project management, adept at prioritizing tasks and meeting challenging deadlines.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive approach to issue resolution and a keen ability to anticipate challenges.
• Successful candidate will have comprehensive support available from current Volaris US Tax team, but also discretion to make decisions and use initiative. Good judgement on when to act and when to ask will be valuable
• Candidate needs to be proactive in seeking that support, as well as self-starting in building their own knowledge
