Tax Manager

On behalf of VeldCo Holdings, LLC, we are excited to share an opening for the position of Tax Manager. The information below outlines the responsibilities and duties of this position as well as compensation and benefits. Willing to consider both part-time and full-time applicants.

Overview

The Tax Manager is a hands-on, senior role responsible for tax planning, research, and strategy across all VeldCo entities and their owners. Day to day, this position maintains partner basis and capital account schedules, prepares complex tax calculations, owns tax depreciation and fixed-asset schedules, prepares cost segregation studies, and calculates gain or loss on sales and transfers of ownership interests. This person is also the primary day-to-day contact for our external CPA firm and auditors, and is expected to deliver accurate, fully supported, review-ready workpapers within established deadlines. The role requires someone who can research a technical question, document a defensible position, manage competing priorities, and know when an issue should be escalated. Reporting directly to the CFO, the Tax Manager helps build efficiencies, suggests and/or implements tax-saving strategies, and aids in the advancement and growth of VeldCo. Duties outside of these core responsibilities will arise and be assigned as needed or desired by the employee. This position is expected to work in the office with the flexibility to work remote if the need arises.
