Job Description

Job Description

This is a remote position.

About the Firm

We are representing a boutique tax practice with deep roots in the consumer packaged goods space. The firm operates at the intersection of U.S. and cross-border tax, serving foreign-parented companies with U.S. subsidiaries, high-net-worth individuals with global footprints, and domestic businesses with complex international exposure. The culture is entrepreneurial, tech-forward, and built for self-starters who want to grow into a long-term leadership role.

About the Role

Our client is seeking an International Tax Manager to serve as the head of their U.S. tax function. This is a review-focused role — the India delivery center handles preparation, and this person steps in as the senior reviewer, client coordinator, and day-to-day leader of the tax department. Beyond compliance, the firm conducts proactive tax advisory, and this person will be expected to bring strategic thinking to client relationships — not just sign off on returns, but help clients navigate complex cross-border decisions, planning opportunities, and evolving tax positions.

This role is ideal for an experienced international tax professional who is ready to step out of a large firm environment and into something more autonomous, relationship-driven, and long-term.

Key Responsibilities

• Review complex federal and state tax returns across individuals, S-corps, LLCs, trusts, and international filings — no preparation required
  

• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, managing relationships and coordinating on deliverables, deadlines, and planning needs
  

• Coordinate effectively with the offshore delivery team in India, delegating work, reviewing outputs, and managing workflow across the full tax department
  

• Handle complex U.S. international tax matters including Subpart F, GILTI, FDII, BEAT, foreign tax credits, and cross-border structuring
  

• Review international information returns including Forms 5471, 5472, 8858, 8865, 1120-F, 8992, 8993, and related filings
  

• Advise clients on inbound and outbound U.S. international tax matters, transfer pricing concepts, and tax treaty positions
  

• Conduct technical tax research and produce well-reasoned written analysis
  

• Take on increasing leadership responsibilities over time as a long-term partner in the growth of the practice
  

Requirements

• CPA required; EA considered for an exceptionally strong candidate
  

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; Master's in Taxation preferred
  

• 10+ years of tax experience with a strong focus on U.S. international tax; mid-size firm background preferred
  

• Deep technical knowledge of U.S. international tax provisions and cross-border compliance
  

• Familiarity with the consumer packaged goods space or foreign-parented U.S. subsidiaries a strong plus
  

• Experience coordinating with offshore teams and managing workflow across distributed environments
  

• Strong client-facing skills — comfortable leading client conversations independently
  

• Tech-savvy and comfortable working in an AI-forward environment
  

• Self-starter who thrives without heavy oversight and takes ownership of outcomes
  

• Eastern or Central time zone strongly preferred
  

Benefits

• Competitive commensurate with experience
  

• Discretionary bonus
  

• 401(k) with safe harbor
  

• Healthcare coverage
  

• Fully remote
  

• Busy season hours capped at 55–60; significant extension volume provides natural workload distribution throughout the year
  

• Long-term growth into a senior leadership role within a tight-knit, high-caliber team
