About The Position

We're a fast-growing insurance brokerage that has scaled quickly through acquisition, bringing 200+ offices under one roof in just a few years. That kind of growth creates real tax complexity: multi-state exposure, partnership and flow-through structures, and a constant flow of new entities to integrate. We're hiring a Head of Tax to build and lead the function that keeps all of it running smoothly and positions us for what's next. This is a chance to own tax strategy end to end, shape how we scale, and be a trusted partner to finance and executive leadership as we keep growing.

Requirements

College, university, or equivalent degree in accounting or a related field required; CPA, Chartered Accountant, or similar certification strongly preferred.
10+ years of progressive tax experience, including a mix of public accounting and in-house/corporate tax leadership, with a track record of building or scaling a tax function.
Deep expertise in partnership taxation and flow-through structures, including Schedule K-1 reporting, tax equity, and multi-tiered entity structures.
Strong experience reviewing and improving estimated tax payment calculations and processes, and reviewing state and local income and agency franchise tax returns for domestic operations while leading assigned state and local audits.
Demonstrated experience with ASC 740 tax provision, FIN 48, and financial statement reporting in a consolidated, multi-entity environment.
Experience supporting M&A activity, including tax due diligence, structuring, and integration, ideally in a private equity backed or high-acquisition setting.
Industry background in insurance, financial services, healthcare, or tech/SaaS; public tax experience required.
Proven people leader with strong communication skills and the ability to partner with senior finance and executive stakeholders.
