Senior tax accountant specializing in state and local tax compliance and planning.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned senior tax professional with extensive experience in state and local tax compliance, tax planning, and multi-entity return preparation across industries including energy, hospitality, and technology. I have a Master of Accounting and Financial Management and have balanced graduate studies while working full-time.
Throughout my career I have prepared and reviewed state income, franchise, lodging, sales and use tax returns for numerous entities across many states, supported audits, managed tax registrations, and led post-merger tax accounting activities. I have a track record of improving tax processes, maintaining compliance across complex multi-state footprints, and collaborating with corporate accounting and business units.
I bring strong technical skills with tools such as OneSource, Checkpoint, SAP and RTMS, a disciplined approach to research and documentation, and a commitment to staying current on federal and state tax law to mitigate risk and support strategic tax outcomes.
