SelectOne Search is the Right Choice for your career search.

We are currently working with our client to identify critical members of their management team, specifically to oversee strategic tax related initiatives.  Our client is a growing Western New York company with a multi-facility, multi-entity, international environment.  Ideally, our client is looking for someone who could become part of the succession plan to a top level executive finance role.  This will require the ability to think independently and strategically while still possessing a hands on and detail oriented approach to solving business problems and managing staff.

 

The Corporate Tax Director will report to the CFO and will work hand in hand with executive management on a daily basis.  Understanding technical accounting and taxation issues specifically related to federal income tax, multi-state issues, and sales and use tax will provide a strong foundation for being successful in this role.  Additionally, exposure to multi-entity complex international corporations will be a strong plus.  Our client is looking for the type of person who is comfortable with what they currently do not know, but tenacious and independent enough to identify a potential business problem, seek out opportunity, define a strategy, execute, assess performance, and drive results.   Strong critical thinking and presentation skills will be necessary, as this role will be expected to anticipate, reason through, summarize, present, and act on financial and tax items impacting the organization.  Our client is seeking someone with industry experience from an industry perspective with a public accounting underpinning.

 

Our client is looking for someone with a strong foundation in corporate taxation and accounting management, but also is in need of a dynamic profession with the following skills:

·         Candidates need to be prepared that professional responsibility and an understanding of critical deadlines will be key attributes they should possess.

·         Communication skills are critical.  Our client needs people that understand accounting and tax and are analytical, but also professionals who can communicate with confidence, reasonable eloquence, and conviction.

·         Our client is seeking professionals that are hungry for a career and not just a job; they need people with a sense of professional responsibility and desire/hunger to grow.

·         This position will have a succession plan track for the right person to become an executive down the line with promotion opportunities.

·         Strong leadership skills

·         Strong organizational skills and an ability to prioritize in a tight deadline, high impact, high expectation environment

·         Flexible and able to adapt and react to solve problems on the fly

·         Someone detail oriented enough to get their hands dirty, but able to pull themselves out, take a step back, and assess the big picture
