Make an impact with our Indirect Tax team as a Senior Accountant. This diverse team of professionals delivers customized tax strategies within a complex and dynamic regulatory framework. As a trusted advisor, you’ll identify benefit entitlements and develop customized federal and local indirect tax strategies that minimize clients’ tax liability while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Virtually every business transaction has tax consequences and each year, tax laws and interpretations change and become more complex. At MNP, our teams of tax advisors work with business owners to minimize their tax consequences and maximize their returns. While we don’t recommend that organizations base their business decisions on tax incentives alone, we believe an effective tax strategy will enhance financial success. That’s why we take the time to understand our client’s business and give advice tailored to meet their specific needs.
