Assistant Vice President, Tax Advisory

Senior III / Assistant Vice President Tax Advisory & Due DiligenceOVERVIEWExbo Group advises corporations, private equity firms, and growth-stage companies on the tax aspects of M&A transactions, structuring, and complex advisory engagements. Our tax practice is growing, and we are adding a Senior III / AVP to own a meaningful portion of client delivery. This is not a traditional compliance role, and it is not a standard Big 4 diligence role. We need someone who can independently identify issues, assess materiality, quantify exposure, and explain implications directly to clients. If you are looking for a role where you own outcomes - not just tasks - this is it. WHAT YOU'LL OWNTax Due Diligence - Primary Responsibility You will execute and progressively lead buy-side and sell-side tax diligence engagements. This means going beyond procedures to develop the judgment required to identify issues, assess materiality, quantify exposure, and communicate findings to clients clearly and independently. Review federal and state tax returns and tie results back to financial statements Analyze M-1/M-3 adjustments, NOLs, credits, basis issues, and other tax attributes Identify historical tax exposures and assess deal-level risk Determine what is actually important versus what is merely technically interesting Prepare and review diligence workpapers and client-ready reports Run kickoff calls, manage diligence request lists, and lead management discussions Explain findings and recommendations in a clear, practical manner State & Local Tax / Sales Tax Remediation A significant portion of diligence findings involve state and local tax exposure. You will also support standalone sales tax remediation engagements - identifying nexus risk, quantifying historical exposure, and managing remediation. You do not need to be a SALT specialist, but you need enough awareness to identify risk and escalate when required. Team Oversight & Quality Ownership You will work closely with our extended team and own output quality regardless of who prepared the first draft - reviewing workpapers, providing feedback, clarifying scope, and ensuring consistency across deliverables.

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance Minimum 3 years in Big 4 tax at the experienced senior or new manager level Tax return preparation experience - you know how to read and tie a return Strong Excel skillsM&A tax diligence or transaction advisory experience preferredSALT awareness a plus; specialist depth not requiredTHE OPPORTUNITYThis role offers significant autonomy and growth in a fast-moving advisory environment. Within 12–18 months, the right person will own the majority of diligence execution, run client interactions independently, and lead sales tax remediation projects - with a clear path to advancement as the practice scales. We can teach tax due diligence methodology, SALT analysis, and deal-specific technical concepts. What we can't teach is ownership, judgment, and the drive to build something.
