Senior Tax Accountant - Direct-Hire Opportunity

Are you ready to bring your expertise to a growing and dynamic team? Our client is looking to hire a Senior Tax Accountant to play a pivotal role in expanding and improving their tax processes. Reporting directly to the Tax Manager, this position serves as a trusted partner, overseeing tax activities, mentoring a small team, and managing high-impact, cross-functional projects.

About the Role

This is more than a traditional tax role—the Senior Tax Accountant will oversee compliance for federal, state, and local filings, support M& A efforts, and assist payroll tax compliance without direct hands-on payroll tasks. Ideal for a proactive professional ready to hit the ground running and drive process improvements in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

+ Provide leadership for two Tax Accountants and act as an advisor to internal teams.

+ Ensure timely preparation for sales & use tax, property tax, payroll tax, and federal filings.

+ Collaborate with Payroll and M& A teams to address tax compliance in acquisitions and transitional support.

+ Build tax processes, ensure jurisdictional compliance, and support external consultants/auditors.

+ Influence system implementations (e.g., Avalara, Thomson Reuters) and process automation.

Why You Should Apply

+ Impactful Work: Play a key role in growing the tax department and supporting high-level initiatives like M& A.

+ Leadership Opportunity: Oversee a talented team while collaborating with cross-functional departments.

+ Growth Potential: Gain exposure to process improvement and automation as the department scales.

If you're ready for a role where your skills and expertise will make an immediate difference, apply now!
