We currently have a career opportunity for a Tax Manager in our Exempt Organizations Tax practice.

Our people work on key client issues in domestic federal taxation, with a focus on implementing tax strategies that align with the client's business objectives.

 

Tax is an inescapable dimension of almost every business activity, in every jurisdiction where a company does business. To optimize the financial performance of business operations, tax strategy and business strategy have to work together across a client enterprise. Our core tax advisory business offerings in International Tax Services, State and Local Taxes and Federal Tax Services make up the business offering for our core Tax practice.
