    Our client is a public company tax department that handles quarterly provisions, federal and state income tax compliance, and excise tax filings entirely in-house, audited by a Big 4 firm.


    IS THIS JOB FOR YOU?

    Yes, if:

    • You've worked quarterly tax provisions and want ownership from deferred analysis through journal entry

    • You want public company tax exposure without a bureaucracy around it

    • You have 4+ years of tax experience, compliance and/or provision. Public accounting, industry, or a mix

    • CPA is a nice-to-have, not a requirement

    • You want a good work life balance - Predictable schedule and typical 40-hour workweek, except for a few peek weeks

    No, if:

    • You're looking for a large team with layers of review

    • You need standing remote or hybrid flexibility. Onsite is the expectation, with normal flex for appointments
