IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a recently qualified Chartered Accountant with over 3 years of hands-on experience in U.S. taxation through articleship and internship. I prepare, review, and finalize Federal and State corporate income tax returns, including supporting schedules and related disclosures, with a strong focus on accuracy and timely e-filing compliance with IRS regulations.
I analyze trial balances, reconcile book-to-tax differences, and support tax compliance projects by identifying tax issues and proposing solutions.
