  • Drive process improvements and controls by streamlining procedures, reporting, and documentation to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
  • Monitor legislative and business developments to assess tax implications, provide tax guidance on commercial activities, identify and mitigate tax risks and ensure adherence to the firm’s tax strategy and policies.
  • Participate in special projects across Federal, state, and international tax areas, contributing to ad‑hoc initiatives throughout the year.
  • Collaborating with partners, managers, and teams across the network, demonstrating a desire to learn from others and proactively support colleagues working in Federal, state, and other tax disciplines
