Manager, Tax Accounting

• Hands-on transaction work - Holley has completed multiple acquisitions and divestitures in recent years, and this role is the tax lead on diligence, purchase accounting support, and integration, including cross-border matters.
• A co-sourced model that puts external specialists behind you, so your time goes to review, judgment, and planning rather than return preparation.
• A close working partnership with senior Finance leadership in a company small enough that your work is visible.

• Monitor enacted and proposed tax legislation, assess applicability to Holley, and document the conclusion.

• Own the consolidated tax compliance calendar across federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions, holding external providers accountable to deadlines and quality.
• Review and approve income tax returns, extensions, and estimated payments prepared by external providers, validating taxable income, apportionment, and credits before filing.
• Manage tax examinations and notices end to end, from information document requests and exemption documentation through assessment negotiation, penalty abatement, and settlement recommendations.
• Monitor the Company's multi-state nexus and registration footprint as operations evolve, and recommend filing positions and registrations as appropriate.

• Own cash tax forecasting and modeling, including estimated payment planning, scenario analysis, and cash tax inputs to liquidity forecasting.
• Own research and development credit data development, working with Engineering, Product, and Accounting to identify and substantiate qualified activities.
• Own sales and use taxability determinations and exemption certificate governance, and analyze general ledger and transaction detail to support tax positions and audit responses.

• Serve as owner and operator of Holley's key tax SOX controls, maintaining review evidence and supporting Internal Audit and external auditor testing requests.
• Coordinate foreign provision and compliance activity and own the transfer pricing program in partnership with external specialists, including intercompany arrangements, documentation, and adjustments.
