Tax Director

Apex is seeking a highly qualified Tax Director to serve as the primary tax resource. This person will own the full scope of tax compliance and reporting for a significant financial services entity, while partnering closely with the group-level Head of Tax on strategic planning, cross-entity matters, and key initiatives. The Director will be responsible for ensuring compliance with ASC 740, supporting tax planning efforts, contributing to M&A activity, and optimizing federal and state tax positions to achieve the company's financial objectives. The ideal candidate is a seasoned tax accountant who thrives as a hands-on owner of the compliance and reporting function, brings deep expertise in corporate and partnership taxation, and has the experience and judgment to operate independently on day-to-day tax matters while collaborating with the Head of Tax on strategic decisions. This role is hybrid and can be based out of our Chicago office.
