Tax Manager

Corporate Tools is looking for Tax Managers. We seek smart and scrappy Tax People that would like to use their knowledge and skills in Tax Compliance and Strategy for the greater good of…. paying as little tax as we should.

We are a large nationwide professional services company that services millions of customers. We grow a lot every year. We are family owned and operated and have 1500 employees. We have no debt or investors. Your work matters here. The job is in North Idaho so that’s weird. That should make you very happy about it, not upset about it. Maybe you’ve always wanted to move to a place where you aren’t surrounded by a bunch of people, and just needed an amazing Tax Job to find a reason! Or maybe you’ve always wanted to ruin the cost of living in a small place like North Idaho and come infiltrate our home country with your second home or equity you made off your big city home appreciation and you’re looking for a tax job to make that all make sense.

Maybe you have gotten exhausted just doing dumb reports and not driving anything. We need Tax Managers that want to be a part of our business. You need to be hungry, humble, and enjoy working as a team. We want you to be a part of our business decisions and strategy as well as tax.

A successful Tax Manager here wants to be a part of the business, not squirreled away in a Tax Department. We want you to be a part of what we do here not just some expense no one is happy about.

Why you might like this job:

A lot of CPA jobs end up being the same business model. Try to get as many tax returns as you can. Maybe try to get a bookkeeping business going or payroll, but then you quickly figure out that doesn’t scale well during the busy season.

A lot of CMA business finance jobs end up being the same job. Run reports for thin skinned people to mess with your version of how you report stuff to make reports look better to people so they can be right and shove the real stuff under the rug for another day or person. Climb the ladder. Make the report.

What we seek is a position of power in our tax strategy. Tax Managers that empower a vibrant team of tax people to always be in the best position to take advantage and comply with taxes across many jurisdictions as fast as we can.You will need an action towards bias here. You’ll need to love to communicate and you’ll need to thrive failure and learning opportunities. You’ll need to thrive in moving fast and seeking validation from stakeholders, not approval.

We stand as the great firewall of corporate records against the overbearing big tech data collection. We help people form their entire business identities. From LLC to address to phone to email and to their websites. We help millions of businesses get their business identity stood up in minutes with affordable services. We do this is a private way. We don’t sell their customer data to third parties. We use our address on formation documents and licenses and registrations so that their home addresses don’t get exposed at the beginning stages of their businesses so they can show a more stable history. We are independent and we support independent businesses. We are by far one of the largest business to business professional service firms in the US that is not owned by investors and has no debt. We’ve slogged it out the smart and scrappy way over decades. If you’d like to be a part of that mission, this is a very unique job to use your knowledge and skills and develop yourself into a smart, scrappy, and hungry driven tax business person.
