  • Support credits related to startups, payroll tax offsets, amended returns, and accounting method changes, as applicable
  • Manage and mentor senior associates and associates
  • review workpapers and deliverables
  • Assist with business development, including proposal support, client presentations, and identification of cross-service opportunities
  • Stay current on legislative, regulatory, and case law developments impacting R&D credits

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Engineering, or related field (Master’s a plus)
  • CPA required (or JD with relevant tax experience)
  • 6–10+ years of experience in R&D tax credits within public accounting or a consulting environment

  • Experience serving middle-market clients across industries such as manufacturing, software, life sciences, or technology
  • Proven ability to manage multiple engagements and deadlines simultaneously
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a client-service mindset
  • Comfortable working in a collaborative, advisory-driven environment

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience in a strategic advisory, credits & incentives, or specialty tax practice
  • Exposure to IRS or state R&D credit examinations
  • Experience with startups, PE-backed companies, or high-growth businesses
  • Familiarity with cost accounting, engineering documentation, or technical project analysis
