Senior Tax Accountant

What You’ll Do

The Senior Tax Accountant will be a foundational pillar of the company's tax function. You will balance technical execution (compliance, ASC 740, audits) with entrepreneurial project management.

• Co-Build the Function: Partner with finance leadership to establish, automate, and scale our internal tax processes and strategies as the company expands globally.
• Project Management: Act as the primary project manager for external tax advisors, ensuring deliverables (like federal, state, and international tax returns) are accurate and on schedule.
• Tax Close & Provisions: Own the quarter-end and annual tax provision process (ASC 740), prepare tax journal entries, and perform flux analyses with a keen eye for detail.
• Audit & Notice Ownership: Project-manage responses to tax audits and notices, proactively gathering documentation and resolving inquiries efficiently.
• Curiosity-Driven Special Projects: Lead research and execution on special projects, including R&D tax credits, international expansion, transfer pricing, and state nexus evaluation.
• Process Automation: Constantly question the status quo. Identify manual bottlenecks in our current tax processes and implement modern, scalable software or workflow solutions.

This Role Requires

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; Master’s degree in Taxation is a plus.
• CPA license is required.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of progressive tax experience (Public accounting/Big 4 experience highly preferred; a mix of public and fast-paced corporate experience is ideal).
• A Builder’s Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the challenge of creating order out of chaos.
• Strong Project Management Skills: Proven ability to manage external vendors, track multiple competing deadlines, and drive cross-functional projects to completion.
• Solid foundational understanding of ASC 740 (Accounting for Income Taxes).
• Experience in the SaaS industry or with international tax issues is a major plus.
• Innate curiosity, strong analytical problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate complex tax concepts into plain English for non-finance stakeholders.
