  • Coordinate with Accounting, Financial Reporting, and external auditors on SALT-related disclosures and controls (including SOX, where applicable)

Tax Planning

  • Identify and evaluate planning opportunities, including entity structure, apportionment, credits and incentives, and filing methodologies
  • Model the state and local tax effects of M&A, restructurings, new product lines, and expansion into new jurisdictions
  • Monitor legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments and communicate the business impact to leadership
  • Support the evaluation and negotiation of state and local incentives

Audits and Controversy

  • Manage state and local audits, notices, and inquiries from start to resolution

  • Evaluate settlement options and escalate significant exposures to the Senior Director of Tax Operations

Tax Operations, Process, and Technology

  • Standardize and document compliance, provision, and audit processes, with strong internal controls
  • Drive automation and data-quality improvements in tax data gathering, return preparation, and reporting
  • Support the Senior Director of Tax Operations on tax technology projects, system implementations, and vendor management
  • Track and report metrics on filing timeliness, notice resolution, audit status, and reserve positions

Leadership and Collaboration

  • Manage and develop tax staff and oversee outside advisors and service providers
  • Partner with Finance, Accounting, Legal, Treasury, Payroll, Procurement, and Operations on tax-impacting matters
  • Communicate SALT issues and status to the Senior Director of Tax Operations and other stakeholders

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
