Tax Director – Corporate/Commercial

The Role

The Role Offers The Opportunity To Collaborate closely with Managing Directors and practice executives in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Metro D.C. to identify cross-office opportunities and execute on shared pursuits.
Foster new client engagements by developing and deepening relationships with business owners, family offices, private-equity-backed portfolio companies, and professional intermediaries — including legal counsel, commercial bankers, and wealth advisors — across the Southeast.
Build a visible market presence in the owner-operated and closely-held business community through referral development, speaking, and thought leadership.
Deliver integrated tax advice spanning C-corporation, S-corporation, and partnership structures, as well as the stakeholders in those organizations.
Serve closely-held and owner-operated businesses across their full lifecycle: entity structuring, compensation and distribution planning, buy-sell agreements, succession planning, and liquidity events — connecting owner-level individual tax considerations to entity-level strategy.
Conduct primary and secondary review of complex federal, state, and international tax returns across entity types; identify issues before they reach the client.
Maintain ongoing client communication to ensure satisfaction, meet deadlines, and anticipate the impact of legislative change on client positions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree required; Accounting, Finance, Economics or related degree preferred;
  8+ years of tax experience in public accounting or a comparable professional services environment;
  Proven ability to develop and retain client relationships independently;
  A track record of originating new business or growing existing accounts.
• Existing professional relationships in the Charlotte, Atlanta, or Metro D.C. markets that are transferable into the Andersen platform are preferred.
• Demonstrated technical proficiency in both corporate (C-corp and S-corp) and partnership taxation — not as parallel specializations, but as an integrated skillset applied to the same client relationships.
  Direct experience advising owner-operators, closely-held businesses, or family-owned enterprises, including matters that cross the entity/owner boundary (e.g., compensation design, buy-sell structuring, exit planning).
• Experience with pass-through entity structures in capital-intensive or operationally complex industries — manufacturing, distribution, transportation, real estate, or similar — where owner-operator tax issues arise with regularity.
• Familiarity with state and local tax considerations affecting multi-state businesses, including nexus, apportionment, and pass-through entity tax regimes a plus.
• Experience with international tax matters affecting closely-held or middle-market businesses (inbound investment, cross-border ownership, treaty analysis) is additive but not required.
• Advanced credential allowing for client representation before the Internal Revenue Service required (i.e. CPA or JD)
• Comfortable navigating evolving tax technologies and data-driven solutions that support a modern tax practice
