• Calculate book / tax differences by preparing clear and concise workpapers
• Be a focal point with Big 4 external auditors coordinating accurate reporting and hitting deadlines

• Minimum 2+ years of tax experience, including ASC 740 provision experience
• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance; Master’s degree is a plus
• CPA designation preferred, but not required
• Work ethic and ability to work slightly longer hours around reporting, and filing deadlines
