Tax Manager

Job description

A large, privately held national energy and infrastructure company is seeking a Tax Forecasting & Investor Reporting Manager to own a high-visibility and technically complex function within its growing corporate tax organization.

This is a unique in-house opportunity for an experienced tax professional who enjoys building and owning processes, working closely with FP&A and Finance, and serving as the primary tax resource for investor reporting and forward-looking tax analysis in a fast-moving, deal-intensive environment.

What You’ll Do:

Own and continuously improve the company's tax forecasting process — including taxable income calculations, cash tax projections, estimated payment schedules, and tax distribution and allocation calculations across legal entities

Partner closely with FP&A and Finance to align the tax forecast with business plans, budgets, and long-range projections

Analyze forecast-to-actual variances and communicate key drivers clearly to internal stakeholders

Prepare and review investor tax reporting deliverables including K-1 equivalent packages, investor tax summaries, and supporting schedules

Serve as a primary contact for tax-related questions from investors and internal business partners

Support scenario modeling and sensitivity analyses related to business planning and contemplated transactions

Monitor tax law changes and assess their impact in partnership with the tax planning team

Own complex compliance calculations requiring quarterly updates including interest limitation analyses and transaction-level tax assessments

Present quarterly tax results to senior leadership

Build and maintain processes and workpapers to extract and organize financial data from internal systems to support tax return preparation

What We’re Looking For:

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; Master's in Taxation or CPA a plus

7+ years of progressive tax experience

Partnership taxation experience strongly preferred

Experience with tax forecasting, financial modeling, or tax provision-adjacent processes

Prior experience in energy, infrastructure, real estate, or private equity a plus

Strong analytical skills with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities

Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments with evolving tax rules

Excellent written and verbal communication skills including experience presenting to senior leadership

Proficiency in Excel; experience with Oracle or OneStream a plus

Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without employer visa sponsorship

Why This Role Stands Out:

Own a high-visibility tax forecasting function at one of the largest privately held infrastructure companies in North America

Direct investor tax reporting exposure across a complex, multi-entity partnership structure

Heavy cross-functional partnership with FP&A, Finance, and Tax Planning

Dynamic, deal-heavy environment with exposure to complex transactions and tax structures

Hybrid flexibility in downtown Chicago with a collaborative, growing tax team
