Senior Tax Accountant

$110,000 – $130,000 base Bonus Eligible

Industry: Manufacturing / Industrial (C-Corp, M1)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Build and own in-house tax for a growing manufacturing company transitioning from outsourced compliance
Be the tax subject matter expert and strategic partner to leadership
High visibility & trust — directly supports the CFO/Finance leader (tax is a known gap)
True quarterback role with external firm (Plant Moran) — you run the show
Leadership that values transparency, empowerment, and autonomy
Stability + growth within a hands-on, operational environment
