  • Research and communicate tax technical issues impacting fund managers and investors, including new legislation and IRS guidance.
  • Collaborate with managers and engagement teams to meet deadlines and deliver exceptional client service.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvements and leverage technology to enhance efficiency and accuracy across engagements.

Client Engagement & Collaboration

  • Build trusted relationships with clients through proactive communication and reliable service delivery.
  • Work closely with other team members to support engagement planning, coordination, and execution.
  • Participate in discussions about broader industry trends, helping clients stay informed and future-focused.

  • CPA license or progress toward CPA strongly preferred.
  • 2+ years of experience in public accounting or asset management tax preferred.
  • Strong understanding of partnership taxation and fund structures.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to explain complex concepts clearly.
  • Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and time management skills.
  • Proactive, curious, and eager to contribute beyond compliance work.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Experience with private equity, hedge fund, or real estate fund tax engagements.
  • Familiarity with partnership allocations and fund accounting concepts.
  • Exposure to K-1 preparation, investor reporting, and related schedules.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, collaborative, and client-facing environment.
