Careers

Join a fast-growing corporate tax practice where you will do more than returns. You will be the one who spots the issue, builds the solution, and brings it to the client. This role is for a Tax Manager experienced with C-corporations who wants to do true consulting work with operating businesses, PE-backed companies, and on complex transactions.

The firm is building leaders, not just filling seats, and its path to Partner rewards client service, technical depth, and developing people, with no book of business required.

This is a hybrid position (2 days in the office) in Los Angeles, CA.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and review federal and multi-state C corporation returns, including consolidated groups, for middle-market clients in technology, manufacturing, distribution, and consumer products.
• Prepare and review ASC 740 income tax provisions, and advise clients on uncertain tax positions and deferred tax matters.
• Identify planning opportunities, propose solutions independently, and serve as a trusted advisor to CFOs and controllers.
• Support transactional work, including acquisitions, dispositions, purchase price allocations, and rollover equity for PE-backed companies.
• Coordinate with specialty groups such as state and local, R&D credits, and international tax to deliver integrated solutions.
• Research complex tax issues, document conclusions, and represent clients in IRS and state examinations.
• Lead, train, and mentor senior and staff members, managing engagement workflows, budgets, and deadlines.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of progressive corporate tax experience in public accounting, with a national or regional CPA firm preferred.
• Active CPA license required (or EA with comparable experience).
• Strong C corporation compliance and ASC 740 provision experience, including consolidated and multi-state returns.
• Consulting and issue-spotting ability, with exposure to M&A, transaction structuring, or collaboration with national tax offices, a strong plus.
• Excellent communication skills and executive presence with clients and internal teams.
• A demonstrated ability to develop staff and manage multiple engagements at the same time.

Compensation: $140,000-$185,000 (DOE)
