Job Description

Our client, a large and well-established distribution company, is seeking a Senior Tax Accountant to join its corporate accounting and tax team. This is a highly visible role that supports both the operating business and the ownership, providing exposure to a broad range of tax matters and regular interaction with senior leaders and stakeholders.

This position is ideal for a tax professional who enjoys variety, wants to expand their technical expertise across multiple entity structures, and is looking for a role with direct access to decision-makers.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare and coordinate federal and state tax filings for various entities, including S-Corporations, partnerships, trusts, and individuals.
  • Assist with the preparation and review of annual tax returns, extensions, and quarterly estimated tax payments.
  • Support tax compliance activities for both the company and family office entities.
  • Analyze fixed asset activity and ensure accurate tax depreciation and reporting.
  • Research tax issues, evaluate impacts, and provide recommendations on compliance and planning matters.
  • Partner with shareholders, advisors, and internal stakeholders to gather information and maintain accurate tax records.
  • Review individual tax information and assist with shareholder tax-related matters.
  • Collaborate with external tax advisors and auditors as needed.
  • Participate in tax planning initiatives and special projects that support business and ownership objectives.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field.
  • CPA or Master's in Taxation preferred.
  • 3+ years of tax experience within public accounting or a corporate tax environment.
  • Experience working with a combination of corporate, partnership, trust, and individual taxation.
  • Strong understanding of federal and state tax compliance requirements.
  • Advanced Excel skills and the ability to work with large data sets.
  • Experience with GoSystem Tax RS is a plus.
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple deadlines.

Why This Role?

  • Opportunity to work on both corporate and family office tax matters, creating a unique and diverse experience.
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and ownership.
  • Broad tax scope spanning individuals, trusts, partnerships, and corporate entities.
  • Stable, successful organization with a strong market presence.
  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture with opportunities for growth and increased responsibility.

This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional looking to move beyond a traditional compliance role and gain meaningful exposure to complex tax matters within a dynamic business environment.
