• Support U.S. international tax reporting by reviewing global tax packages, calculating E&P adjustments, Subpart F income, FTC pools, and preparing all related federal forms in compliance with U.S. tax rules.

• Respond to IRS and state audit inquiries with timely, well‑supported analysis, preparing clear responses, reviewing issues raised, and identifying process gaps to reduce audit exposure.

• Monitor tax law changes, maintain compliance software and S‑OX controls, and support tax planning initiatives and special projects as needed.

What We’re Looking For
