• Strong knowledge of federal and multi-state income tax compliance.
• Experience supporting or coordinating federal and state income tax audits.
• Experience working with external tax advisors, compliance providers, or co-sourcing arrangements preferred.
• Working knowledge of ASC 740 and U.S. GAAP tax accounting principles.
• Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tax deliverables and deadlines.
• Interest in process improvement, automation, and the use of technology to improve tax workflows.
• Experience with tools such as Alteryx, Power BI, or AI-enabled solutions is a plus, but not required.
