Finance – Tax
Overview:
Corporate Tools is looking to build a strong, scrappy, street smart tax team. As we grow we are looking to put ourselves in the best tax position we can. In order to get to this position, we need varying levels of experience to join our team… let that sink in. Experience, not titles. CPA firms have done a heck of a job telling people their title dictates the work they get to do, that’s so odd isn’t it? Maybe you have a lot of great relatable experience and can lead a team to drive to amazing results, or maybe your experience is pretty new and you’re still honing your skills. Both are great, and both are needed. Here is the part that might really break your brain… even if you have the same “title” you’ll be paid differently depending on, yes you guessed it, your experience.
So buckle up, because the work you do here has a huge impact and you actually get to be a part of the whole process! So if you’re tired of running dumb reports and not driving anything, it sounds like you might be on the right path to being the right fit here. You need to be hungry, humble, and enjoy working as a team where you don’t have to be the one with the “idea”, but as a group you can get it done. We want you to be a part of the business decisions, strategy, and of course, tax. Being successful here means you aren’t going to be squirreled away in a tax corner, you actually want to be a part of the business.

Why you might like this job:
A lot of CPA jobs end up being the same business model. Try to get as many tax returns as you can. Maybe try to get a bookkeeping business going or payroll, but then you quickly figure out that doesn’t scale well during the busy season. Kill yourself to build your book of business and go from associate to partner.
A lot of CMA business finance jobs end up being the same job. Run reports for thin skinned people to mess with your version of how you report stuff to make reports look better to people so they can be right and shove the real stuff under the rug for another day or person. Climb the ladder. Make the report.
What we seek is a position of power in our tax strategy. Tax Accountants that empower a vibrant team of tax people to always be in the best position to take advantage and comply with taxes across many jurisdictions as fast as we can. You will need a bias toward action here. You’ll need to love to communicate and you’ll need to thrive in failure and learning opportunities. You’ll need to thrive in moving fast and seeking validation from stakeholders, not approval.
We stand as the great firewall of corporate records against the overbearing big tech data collection. We help people form their entire business identities. From LLC to address to phone to email and to their websites. We help millions of businesses get their business identity stood up in minutes with affordable services. We do this is a private way. We don’t sell their customer data to third parties. We use our address on formation documents and licenses and registrations so that their home addresses don’t get exposed at the beginning stages of their businesses so they can show a more stable history. We are independent and we support independent businesses. We are by far one of the largest business to business professional service firms in the US that is not owned by investors and has no debt. We’ve slogged it out the smart and scrappy way over decades. If you’d like to be a part of that mission, this is a very unique job to use your knowledge and skills and develop yourself into a smart, scrappy, and hungry driven tax business person.
