A well-established
private equity real estate investment firm is seeking an experienced
Tax Manager to join its growing in-house tax team. This is an excellent opportunity for a strong public accounting tax professional with
significant real estate tax experience who is ready to transition into an established, sophisticated real estate organization.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in
real estate taxation, partnership tax, multi-state compliance, and federal income tax preparation. This person will have the opportunity to work directly with a complex portfolio of real estate entities while taking on meaningful responsibility and becoming a key member of the tax function.
