Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a global consulting firm with entrepreneurial, action- and results-oriented professionals. We take a hands-on approach to solving our clients' problems and helping them reach their potential. A&M is different by design: we give people ownership and impact from day one, fuel development through real opportunity, and provide direct access to leaders who invest in our growth.

Our Insurance Tax professionals focus on the full lifecycle of insurance taxation, with deep expertise in Subchapter L, tax accounting, and financial/statutory reporting. We support clients across complex technical matters, including tax planning, issue identification and resolution, and the interpretation of evolving regulatory frameworks. In addition to consulting, we lead and manage tax compliance and provision engagements, helping clients navigate U.S. GAAP (ASC 740) and statutory reporting (SSAP 101) requirements.

Our team operates in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where professionals are expected to be hands-on and adaptable—often “building the plane while flying it.” We partner closely with our clients to deliver practical, high-impact solutions while continuing to grow a high-performing and collaborative practice.
