RCR Consulting

Income Tax Lead



  About the Opportunity

RCR Consulting is conducting a confidential search on behalf of our client, a highly successful, entrepreneurial financial services company. The company is known for exemplary customer service, a principle-centered business philosophy, and a team-based operating approach — and is looking to add a key member to its Tax Team.

The Income Tax Lead owns the income tax process end to end. This is an individual-contributor role that manages a process, not people — it does not carry direct-report or supervisory responsibilities. This is a fully remote role but you must reside in one of the following states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, or Wisconsin.

This individual will ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local income and franchise tax laws and regulations, working with both internal and external tax providers to ensure complete and timely filing and reporting. The Income Tax Lead will also manage all year-end income tax accrual computations in accordance with ASC 740 and related financial statement reporting, interact with federal, state, and local taxing authorities, and represent the company in tax controversy matters from identification through resolution.

The ideal candidate is self-motivated with strong verbal and written communication skills, analytical in decision-making, and a strong problem-solver. This person proactively looks for areas where taxes impact core business processes and seeks opportunities to improve processes and mitigate risk across the income tax function through tax planning — while staying current on tax statutory changes and quantifying the impact of legislative change on overall corporate strategy.

What You'll Do
  • Provide leadership in executing accounting and tax-related engagements, ensuring alignment with established internal standards and enterprise priorities.
  • Lead the preparation and review of the annual income tax provision and financial statement reporting process, providing technical oversight related to ASC 740 and external reporting.
  • Direct quarterly and annual income tax provision computations, incorporating statutory changes and complex legal entity considerations to support strategic tax decision-making.
  • Oversee the preparation and review of federal, state, and local income tax returns, driving accuracy, consistency, and timely execution across filing obligations.
  • Provide strategic review of tax returns and related analyses, assessing the impact of legislative developments and state statutory changes across the organization.
  • Serve as the lead representative with the IRS and other taxing authorities, managing tax administration, controversy matters, and audit defense with professionalism, credibility, and sound judgment.
  • Lead the review and resolution of income tax correspondence, including stakeholder communication, to address income tax notices and drive timely resolution with taxing jurisdictions.
  • Champion quality control and governance practices to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of tax computations for financial statement and external reporting purposes.
  • Conduct and oversee complex tax law and accounting research, synthesizing findings into technical memoranda and recommendations for leadership decision-making.
  • Lead cross-functional projects throughout the year, providing direction, visibility, and effective communication to finance leadership.
  • Partner with management to identify income tax risks, evaluate potential business impacts, and implement practical mitigation strategies that strengthen compliance and reduce exposure.
  • Support broader tax operations through indirect tax filings and monthly reconciliations, ensuring continuity, accuracy, and operational discipline.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business operations, building strong partnerships across corporate, business unit, and functional leadership to align tax priorities with organizational goals.
  • Review and validate supporting analyses and documentation for tax reporting, proactively resolving inconsistencies and elevating the quality of information used in decision-making.
  • Provide oversight of the account reconciliation process, resolving discrepancies and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, control, and process standardization.
  • Collaborate with leadership to identify, evaluate, and execute strategic tax opportunities that support enterprise value creation and long-term business objectives.
What You'll Need

Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting
  • Equivalent experience will be considered
Experience
  • 4–6 years of experience in a large professional services or public accounting firm, or other equivalent experience
  • A combination of tax technical background and compliance experience will be considered
Technical Skills

  • Tax preparation software experience preferred
Location: Remote — candidates must reside in one of the following states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, or Wisconsin

Employment Type: Full-time

Compensation: $88,000 – $130,000 annually, commensurate with experience
