  • Proven success leading complex tax projects, including M&A.
  • Exceptional research, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
  • Collaborative leadership style with a track record of coaching and developing teams.
  • High adaptability and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and financial reporting systems.
