Senior Tax Analyst (Industry, NOT an Accounting Firm)

Find Your Balance in Corporate USA

This is not with an accounting firm

📍 Greater Charleston, South Carolina Area| Finance – Tax | Reports to : Tax Director

Why This Role?

Let’s be honest : public accounting can be brutal. Endless busy seasons, long nights, and the kind of stress that makes you question if there’s life outside of spreadsheets. We believe work should fuel your future, not drain it. That’s why we’re building a tax team where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your nights and weekends are your own.

We’re looking for a Tax Senior Specialist who’s ready to trade in the grind for a role that’s challenging but sustainable, technical yet rewarding, and best of all—part of a team that’s as welcoming as it is innovative. We need a doer, the type of person that has mentality that not task is too small, willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.

What You’ll Do (Without Burning Out)

• PLEASE note : We will teach you what you don't know, even if you have not done any of the below before, as long as you are willing to learn the following...

Here’s what your day-to-day will eventually look like :

✅ Prepare and review federal, state, and local income tax returns (a lean, manageable setup : one 1120, one DRE, combined state returns—no crazy international filings).

✅ Keep our indirect tax filings (sales / use, property tax, 1099s, etc.) on track with the help of Tax Trilogy .

✅ Support tax audits and handle tax authority inquiries (without the panic mode).

✅ Reconcile tax accounts monthly and provide clean documentation to accounting.

✅ Handle payments, journal entry requests, and maintain our tax asset ledger.

✅ Partner with teams across Volvo to support tax planning, strategy, and process improvements.

✅ Stay sharp on tax legislation so we’re always one step ahead.

✅ Jump in on month- and year-end close for tax provisions and reporting.
