Job description
Overview
CPA Required | Big 4 Background Strongly Preferred
If you’re a tax professional who likes to own the full tax picture , not just a slice of it, this is the kind of role that doesn’t open up often.
We’re partnering with a well-established, growth-oriented private equity firm seeking a Tax Manager to step in as the go-to tax leader for a complex investment platform. This role sits close to senior leadership, offers broad visibility across funds and investments, and is ideal for someone ready to move beyond pure compliance into a more strategic, hands-on seat.
Why This Role Stands Out
True “everything tax” ownership across funds, entities, and investors
Direct partnership with senior finance leadership
Exposure to domestic, international, and investor-level tax matters
Opportunity to streamline processes and modernize tax operations
Ideal next step for a Big 4 CPA moving into private equity
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Tax Compliance & Oversight
Lead all U.S. federal, state, local, and international tax compliance across funds, investment vehicles, holding entities, and the management company
Coordinate closely with external tax advisors to ensure accurate and timely filings
Oversee the full cycle of partnership tax reporting, including investor K-1s and related filings
Private Equity & Investor Tax Matters
Manage portfolio company K-1 collection and investor reporting
Oversee FATCA compliance, FBARs, 1042s, 1099s, and related filings
Review withholding documentation for non-U.S. investors and ensure proper tax treatment on distributions
Support non-U.S. tax reporting and foreign investor compliance
Estimates, Allocations & Reporting
Prepare and review quarterly and annual tax estimates
Maintain tax basis calculations, allocation schedules, and distribution waterfalls
Support holding company financial statements from a tax perspective
Track PTP-related requirements and reporting
Process Improvement & Partnership
Serve as the primary point of contact for tax service providers
Identify opportunities to improve workflows, automation, and documentation
Support the broader finance team on tax-related initiatives as the platform evolves
What We’re Looking For
Active CPA license
5+ years of tax experience , ideally a mix of Big 4 public accounting and private equity and/or investment management
Strong partnership tax background (pass-through entities required)
Experience with foreign investors, non-U.S. reporting, and complex fund structures
Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets
Detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable working independently
Strong communication skills and the discretion to operate in a confidential environment
Curious mindset with an interest in technology, automation, and process improvement
This role is a great fit for someone who:
Enjoys being the tax subject-matter expert , not just a reviewer
Wants broader exposure than traditional public accounting offers
Thrives in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment
Is ready to step into a visible role with real ownership and influence
If you’re a Big 4–trained CPA in the South Bay looking to deepen your private equity experience and own the tax function end to end, let’s talk.
