Tax compliance, research and planning come together in this Senior Tax Specialist role, which keeps the organisation's filings accurate and its tax position efficient. Federal, state and local returns covering income, sales, property and other taxes are prepared, reviewed and submitted on time. Records and documentation have to stand up to legal and regulatory scrutiny. New legislation and industry trends are researched closely, with clear recommendations on what they mean for the business.

Process improvements and automation opportunities are part of the brief, along with periodic reports on progress against plan. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or a related field and 4 to 6 years of relevant tax experience.
