Corporate Tax Manager

Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.

As Corporate Tax Manager, you’ll be responsible for the global income tax provision and the US income tax compliance lifecycle, along with other projects. This is a high-visibility role on a lean, high-performing team. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, external advisors, and cross-functional partners — with your work flowing directly into our SEC filings and financial statements.

We’re looking for a technically excellent tax professional who brings deep ASC 740 expertise and the curiosity to modernize how we work — leveraging AI-assisted tools and automation to evolve traditional tax processes in a fast-moving, public SaaS environment.

• Document and test income tax-related internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) in partnership with Internal Audit.
• Oversee the preparation of the federal consolidated return and state/local income tax returns, Globe information returns, extensions, and estimated tax payments — primarily through external advisors — ensuring timely and accurate filing.
• Critically evaluate advisor work product to ensure returns reflect the company’s tax positions, elections, and planning strategies.
• Manage responses for federal and state income tax notices and audits; coordinate with external counsel, and maintain contemporaneous documentation of tax positions.
• Monitor legislative and regulatory changes affecting multi-state apportionment, nexus positions, and estimated tax obligations.
• Partner cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders on stock-based compensation tax accounting (ASC 718), R&D credit studies, transfer pricing calculations, and the tax implications of corporate transactions and M&A activity.
• Prepare/review tax account reconciliations for monthly accruals related to above-the-line tax items, and manage the journal entry process with accounting and F&S.
• Identify and implement opportunities to leverage generative AI, automation, and data transformation tools to improve efficiency across tax research, data collection, and recurring workflows.
• Other ad hoc projects on an as needed basis

What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)

• 7+ years of progressive corporate income tax experience with a mixture of Big 4 public accounting background and in-house experience; experience with a public company profile strongly preferred.
• Solid hands-on experience in ASC 740 US GAAP income tax accounting, including deferred taxes, stock-based compensation (ASC 718), uncertain tax positions (ASC 740-10), and valuation allowance analysis.
• Good understanding of US GAAP to Local GAAP, Local GAAP to Local Tax concept.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA license preferred.
• Working knowledge of US federal income tax, multi-state apportionment, nexus, and estimated tax management.
• Self-starter who is able to work with a distributed workforce, be self-reliant and motivated to take on tasks and demonstrate the ability to work with service providers to drive tasks and projects to completion.
• High proficiency in Excel; comfort with or active interest in data transformation tools (e.g., Alteryx, Power Query) or AI-assisted tax workflows.
• Clear, confident communicator who can translate complex tax concepts for senior leadership and non-tax stakeholders.

What will help you stand out (Nonessential Skills/Nice to Haves)

• Master’s degree in Taxation (MST) or MBA.
• Exposure to Pillar Two / BEPS 2.0 and global minimum tax analysis.
• Experience with transfer pricing in a SaaS or technology company.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP) and financial close processes.
