Job DescriptionJob Description

Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE:MAIN)

Main Street (www.mainstcapital.com) is a publicly traded investment firm that primarily provides long-term debt and equity capital to lower middle market companies and debt capital to middle market companies. Main Street's portfolio investments are typically made to support management buyouts, recapitalizations, growth financings, refinancings and acquisitions of companies that operate in diverse industry sectors. Main Street seeks to partner with entrepreneurs, business owners and management teams and generally provides "one stop" financing alternatives within its lower middle market portfolio. Main Street's lower middle market companies generally have annual revenues between $10 million and $150 million.

Main Street- Background of Tax Function

Main Street is a very tax driven organization due to its unique investment strategy. The majority of Main Street’s lower middle market equity investments are structured as LLC partnerships. This creates a level of complexity when compared to a traditional C-corp tax structure as there will typically be multiple owners in the LLC structure and there is considerable tax due diligence required when making a new equity investment. In addition, it is critical that the partner’s capital account is set up properly and monitored post investment to ensure in compliance with LLC agreements. While Main Street Capital Corporation is a regulated investment company (RIC) for tax purposes, the majority of its lower middle market equity investments cannot be held at the RIC level due to their partnership structure. Therefore, Main Street has separate taxable subsidiaries that house the LLC equity investments. The taxable subsidiaries are not consolidated with the parent RIC taxable entity for tax purposes, but are consolidated for book and GAAP reporting.

The Tax Manager at Main Street will need to have experience with partnerships and mergers and acquisitions related activities. While the majority of the RIC related tax work and compliance will be outsourced to an accounting firm that has an existing relationship with Main Street, this person will be responsible for managing the outsourced function and be able to manage the various tax issues relating to a RIC structure.
