Job description

At White Tiger Connections, we believe that growth isn’t just about numbers; instead, it’s about vision, strategy, and connections that truly count. Our focus on the accounting industry isn’t incidental—it’s entirely intentional. As a result, we’re a team dedicated to helping firms achieve meaningful growth, whether through mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or carefully placed talent. Ultimately, our approach isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about understanding the unique dynamics of each firm we work with and crafting solutions that propel them forward.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to make powerful connections that propel accounting firms toward lasting success. We connect buyers, sellers, and partners with strategies that aren’t just transactional but transformative. Whether you’re growing through acquisition, looking to expand your capabilities, or planning for succession, we provide tailored solutions that create real value for your firm and your clients.

WHAT WE DO

White Tiger Connections focuses on three core areas: Mergers & Acquisitions, Consulting, and Recruiting. We work alongside you at every step, from identifying strategic opportunities to securing the right talent and guiding growth decisions. Our approach combines industry insight with hands‑on support, ensuring that each decision aligns with your firm’s goals and sets you up for sustainable success.

Job Description

This is a remote position.

About the Firm

We are representing a boutique tax practice with deep roots in the consumer packaged goods space. The firm operates at the intersection of U.S. and cross‑border tax, serving foreign‑parented companies with U.S. subsidiaries, high‑net‑worth individuals with global footprints, and domestic businesses with complex international exposure. The culture is entrepreneurial, tech‑forward, and built for self‑starters who want to grow into a long‑term leadership role.

About the Role

Our client is seeking an International Tax Manager to serve as the head of their U.S. tax function. This is a review‑focused role — the India delivery center handles preparation, and this person steps in as the senior reviewer, client coordinator, and day‑to‑day leader of the tax department. Beyond compliance, the firm conducts proactive tax advisory, and this person will be expected to bring strategic thinking to client relationships — not just sign off on returns, but help clients navigate complex cross‑border decisions, planning opportunities, and evolving tax positions.

This role is ideal for an experienced international tax professional who is ready to step out of a large firm environment and into something more autonomous, relationship‑driven, and long‑term.

Key Responsibilities

• Review complex federal and state tax returns across individuals, S-corps, LLCs, trusts, and international filings — no preparation required
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, managing relationships and coordinating on deliverables, deadlines, and planning needs
• Coordinate effectively with the offshore delivery team in India, delegating work, reviewing outputs, and managing workflow across the full tax department
• Handle complex U.S. international tax matters including Subpart F, GILTI, FDII, BEAT, foreign tax credits, and cross‑border structuring
• Review international information returns including Forms 5471, 5472, 8858, 8865, 1120‑F, 8992, 8993, and related filings
• Advise clients on inbound and outbound U.S. international tax matters, transfer pricing concepts, and tax treaty positions
• Conduct technical tax research and produce well‑reasoned written analysis
• Take on increasing leadership responsibilities over time as a long‑term partner in the growth of the practice

Requirements

• CPA required; EA considered for an exceptionally strong candidate
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; Master's in Taxation preferred
• 10+ years of tax experience with a strong focus on U.S. international tax; mid‑size firm background preferred
• Deep technical knowledge of U.S. international tax provisions and cross‑border compliance
• Familiarity with the consumer packaged goods space or foreign‑parented U.S. subsidiaries a strong plus
• Experience coordinating with offshore teams and managing workflow across distributed environments
• Strong client‑facing skills — comfortable leading client conversations independently
• Tech‑savvy and comfortable working in an AI‑forward environment
• Self‑starter who thrives without heavy oversight and takes ownership of outcomes

Benefits

• Competitive commensurate with experience
• Discretionary bonus
• 401(k) with safe harbor
• Fully remote
• Busy season hours capped at 55–60; significant extension volume provides natural workload distribution throughout the year
• Long‑term growth into a senior leadership role within a tight‑knit, high‑caliber team
