Job summary

Fowler Packing Company, based in Fresno, California, seeks a Senior Tax Manager to own the tax function and guide a small team. You will analyze complex pass-through taxation issues, tie technical work to strategic decisions, and collaborate with ownership to steer cash flow and timing decisions.

You will lead the team through federal and California tax planning, manage the annual ASC 740 process, and coordinate with outside CPAs to resolve issues and optimize results.

Responsibilities

• Review complex federal and California returns for partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, LLCs, and trusts.
• Manage the compliance calendar, assign work across the team, and keep the filing season on schedule.

• Prepare the annual ASC 740 provision and maintain deferred tax balances.
• Handle IRS, FTB, and CDTFA notices and examinations from first letter to resolution.
• Bring planning ideas forward: entity structuring, §1031 exchanges, credits and incentives, multi-year cash tax projections, and legislative changes that matter to ownership.
