Job description

Tax Manager (Tax provisions focused) – Hybrid (Chicago, IL)

In-office 1–2 days per week.

We’re looking for an experienced and detail-oriented Tax Manager to join our team in a hybrid capacity. This role plays a key part in overseeing U.S. income tax provision, compliance, and reporting processes while collaborating across departments to ensure accurate and timely filings.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the preparation and review of quarterly and annual U.S. income tax provisions under ASC 740 and IFRS, including deferred taxes, reconciliations, and journal entries.
• Review federal and state income tax filings and ensure all supporting documentation is thorough and accurate.
• Manage the process for quarterly estimated tax payments and extensions, ensuring timely and compliant execution.
• Coordinate the collection, organization, and maintenance of tax-related data to support compliance efforts and external audits.
• Partner with finance, treasury, and transfer pricing teams to ensure seamless data integration for tax calculations and filings.
• Research complex tax issues, draft supporting documentation, and provide insights into implications for the business.
• Stay on top of evolving tax legislation and proactively assess potential impacts to the organization.
• Drive efficiency by contributing to tax-related process improvements and special initiatives.

What You Bring:

• CPA or equivalent certification (preferred).
• At least 7 years of experience in public accounting and/or corporate tax at a public, multinational company.
• Strong command of ASC 740 and IFRS tax accounting standards.
• Expertise in navigating complex federal and state income tax matters; international tax experience is a plus but not required.
• Familiarity with transfer pricing practices and their application in a corporate environment.
• Advanced Excel skills and hands‑on experience with tax provision software (e.g., OneSource, Longview).
• Self-starter mindset with a collaborative approach and willingness to get into the details.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities effectively in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven setting.
