• Collaborate with external tax advisors on U.S. and foreign income tax return filings, including Schedule K-1s
• Manage tax audits and government correspondence, coordinating with advisors as needed
• Contribute to ongoing transfer pricing analysis and special tax projects
  
  

What you bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA preferred
• 2–5+ years of public accounting or directly relevant work experience
• Experienced in multi-state sales tax and corporate income tax return preparation
• Proficient in preparing corporate tax provisions
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
