About the Team

We are adaptive tax professionals who love what we do and continue to strive for operational excellence and value creation through automation and strategic yet compliant tax planning. Our team is excited to take on new challenges as we grow with the company, and the growing complexity of the global tax landscape. We are committed to working hard, having fun while maintaining a culture of work-life balance.

About the Role

You will support all aspects of our state and local income tax matters. This individual will also have opportunities to assist other aspects of the corporate tax function. Our ideal candidate is a highly motivated and collaborative individual with relevant corporate tax experience and an eagerness to learn.

Responsibilities :

1. Compliance & Technical Expertise

  • Manage the full state and local income / franchise tax compliance process, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of filings.
  • Serve as the primary state tax technical resource, providing detailed review, feedback, guidance, and mentorship to junior team.

2. Provision & Forecast Support

  • Support the tax provision team on quarterly and annual state tax calculations (ASC 740), including provision-to-return true-ups and law change impacts.
  • Assist with state cash tax forecast (monthly), effective tax rate analysis, and uncertain tax position reviews.
  • 3. Audits & Controversy

  • Manage state and local income / franchise tax audits, state notices from start to resolution.
  • Assist developing and executing audit defense strategies to mitigate risk and achieve favorable outcomes.
  • Oversee the timely research and resolution of all state tax notices.
  • 4. Planning & Process Improvement

  • Partner with tax leadership to identify and implement state tax planning opportunities related to corporate structure, nexus, and apportionment.
  • Conduct complicated technical research on complex state tax issues and new legislation
  • Assist state income tax impact assessment to support business initiatives
  • Proactively evaluate existing compliance and provision processes; identify and lead initiatives for process improvement and automation.
  • 5. Controls, Research, & Documentation

  • Maintain SOX 404 compliance for the state tax function.
  • Prepare clear and concise technical memoranda for internal documentation and audit support.
  • About You

    Basic Qualifications :

  • 6+ years of progressive state and local income / franchise tax experience, ideally including both Big 4 and corporate in-house exposure.
  • Working knowledge of ASC 740 implications to state matters.
  • Demonstrated track record of successfully managing complex state tax audits.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Education & Skills :

  • CPA or MS in Taxation are a plus.
  • Deep technical knowledge of multi-state income / franchise tax law, nexus, and apportionment.
  • Strong experience reviewing others' work (onshore / offshore) for technical accuracy and completeness.
  • Knowledge with OneSource Tax Provision strongly referred.
  • Exceptional analytical, organizational, and written communication skills.
  • Self-driven, detail-oriented, and able to work independently while collaborating effectively with global partners.
  • Excellent Stakeholder Management and communication skills, with experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Our Approach to Flexible Work

    With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds : in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
