Special Projects
  • Maintain tax records of the various trusts of the various shareholders.
  • Maintain entity tax workpapers on an ongoing basis.
  • This is a small office/tax department. Everyone is expected to help out in keeping the office/department running smoothly.

  • Bachelor's Degree required; CPA or MBA preferred.
  • 5-7+ years combined experience in corporate and individual tax compliance, research and audit issues.
  • Exposure to manufacturing and some financial services, preferred.
