Tax Director

Tax Director Opportunity

If you're a tax professional who likes to own the full tax picture, not just a slice of it, this is the kind of role that doesn't open up often.

We're partnering with a well-established, growth-oriented private equity firm seeking a Tax Director to step in as the go-to tax leader for a complex investment platform. This role sits close to senior leadership, offers broad visibility across funds and investments, and is ideal for someone ready to move beyond pure compliance into a more strategic, hands-on seat.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• True "everything tax" ownership across funds, entities, and investors
• Direct partnership with senior finance leadership
• Exposure to domestic, international, and investor-level tax matters
• Opportunity to streamline processes and modernize tax operations
• Ideal next step for a Big 4 CPA moving into private equity

What You'll Be Responsible For:

• Lead all U.S. federal, state, local, and international tax compliance across funds, investment vehicles, holding entities, and the management company
• Coordinate closely with external tax advisors to ensure accurate and timely filings
• Oversee the full cycle of partnership tax reporting, including investor K-1s and related filings
• Manage portfolio company K-1 collection and investor reporting
• Oversee FATCA compliance, FBARs, 1042s, 1099s, and related filings
• Review withholding documentation for non-U.S. investors and ensure proper tax treatment on distributions
• Support non-U.S. tax reporting and foreign investor compliance
• Prepare and review quarterly and annual tax estimates
• Maintain tax basis calculations, allocation schedules, and distribution waterfalls
• Support holding company financial statements from a tax perspective

What We're Looking For:

• Active CPA license
• 5+ years of tax experience, ideally a mix of Big 4 public accounting and private equity and/or investment management
• Strong partnership tax background (pass-through entities required)
• Experience with foreign investors, non-U.S. reporting, and complex fund structures
• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets
• Detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable working independently
• Strong communication skills and the discretion to operate in a confidential environment
• Curious mindset with an interest in technology, automation, and process improvement

What We Offer:

• Hybrid schedule
• Competitive compensation and benefits - Base Salary is up to $220,000
• Room for Advancement

If you're a Big 4–trained CPA in the South Bay looking to deepen your private equity experience and own the tax function end to end, let's talk.
