• Manage tax engagements, filing deadlines, extensions, workloads, and competing priorities.
• Implement and maintain quality control procedures to minimize errors, rework, and compliance risks.
• Monitor departmental productivity, improve workflows, and ensure timely completion of tax deliverables.

• Proven experience with international reporting Forms 114, 8938, 5471, 5472, and 8865 .
• Demonstrated ability to independently review complex returns, identify errors, assess tax positions, and approve completed work.
• Proven experience supervising, mentoring, training, and evaluating tax professionals.
• Strong tax research and technical problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple engagements and strict deadlines with minimal supervision.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and commitment to quality and results.

Preferred Qualifications
