The Opportunity

• Tax technology and automation initiatives
• Strategic tax planning and advisory projects
• Cross-functional collaboration with finance, accounting, and executive leadership teams

Why Professionals Make the Move

• Gain exposure to large, complex organizations, including Fortune 500 companies
• Work directly with senior tax leaders and business executives
• Develop a broader commercial and operational understanding of corporate tax
• Build consulting and advisory skills while remaining technically hands-on
• Experience different industries and tax functions without permanently leaving consulting
• Create a pathway toward future leadership opportunities in industry or advisory

Ideal Background

• Public accounting tax experience
• Experience in corporate tax compliance, provision, or advisory services
• CPA preferred
