Job description

Hybrid – 3 days onsite / 2 days remote

Contract-to-Hire

Are you early in your tax career but finding yourself more interested in technology, automation, and improving how tax work gets done?

This could be the opportunity to take your tax experience in a different direction.

We’re looking for a Technology Analyst who has a foundation in tax and wants to build a career focused on Technology, analytics, automation, and AI-enabled process improvement.

You don’t need to come from a specific area of tax. We’re interested in candidates who understand tax processes and have hands‑on experience using technology to make work more efficient.

What You'll Do

You’ll partner with Finance and Tax teams to identify opportunities to improve reporting, automate manual processes, and make better use of financial and tax data.

Your work will include:

• Building dashboards and analytics in Power BI
• Automating tax and finance processes using Power Automate
• Transforming and preparing data using Power Query
• Identifying manual or repetitive processes that can be streamlined
• Supporting reporting and analysis across financial and ERP systems
• Exploring ways AI and Microsoft Copilot can improve Tax and Finance workflows
• Partnering with Tax and Finance stakeholders to understand business problems and develop solutions
• Managing smaller technology and process-improvement initiatives from idea through implementation
• Learning and expanding your skills across Tax Technology, analytics, automation, and AI

What We're Looking For

• Approximately 2–3 years of professional tax experience
• Tax experience can come from public accounting, corporate tax, consulting, or another tax environment
• Hands‑on experience with:
• Power BI
• Power Automate
• Power Query
• Strong Excel and data analysis skills
• An interest in using technology to improve Tax and Finance processes
• Ability to understand a business process, identify inefficiencies, and think about how it could be improved
• Strong communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills

Experience with Alteryx, Microsoft Copilot Studio, AI tools, ERP/financial systems, or Visual Studio Code is a plus, but we’re most interested in someone with the right combination of tax experience, core Microsoft technology skills, and a desire to grow in Tax Technology.

Why This Opportunity?

This role is especially suited for someone who has built a foundation in tax but knows they don't want their entire career to be centered around traditional tax work.

You’ll have the opportunity to take what you already know about tax and apply it to automation, analytics, process improvement, AI, and Finance transformation—building a career at the intersection of Tax + Technology.
