Transaction Tax Senior Manager

Transaction Tax Senior Manager ver is a full-service national accounting, advisory and consulting firm with opportunities for professionals in many fields. We seek to bring a human element to accounting, creating a diverse, collaborative, and entrepreneurial workplace culture. Our leaders care about the well-being of all our employees and encourage them to pursue their ambitions.

While our business is based in numbers, our success is based on people. Weaver commits to supporting our people in their professional growth and in leading balanced, integrated lives. Our core values empower our people to deliver extraordinary service and be their best selves. Our goal is to balance high development with high performance to meet the long-term goals of individuals, teams, and the firm.

Weaver is looking for a Transaction Tax Advisory Senior Manager to join our growing firm. The team helps private equity, strategic, and founder-owned clients identify potential tax exposures and understand key tax considerations throughout the transaction process, including evaluating structuring alternatives. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Manager or Senior Manager with an entrepreneurial mindset to step into a leadership role in growing Weaver's Transaction Tax practice.

The Transaction Tax Senior Manager will work closely with a variety of transactions and will apply technical tax knowledge in a clear, practical manner to assist clients in a range of M&A transactions. The candidate will manage tax due diligence engagements, lead the M&A tax staff, and coordinate with other Weaver teams, such as state and local tax services and international tax, to complete diligence reports, evaluate transactions, and complete other transaction-related engagements.

Because Weaver’s clients often rely on the firm to assist with structuring transactions, this role will also lead the research and creative processes around evaluating alternatives.

The candidate should be a team player who exhibits initiative, accepts responsibility, communicates effectively, and manages multiple concurrent assignments of varying sizes and complexity. As this role is transaction-focused, the individual should have a strong work ethic and be a self-starter, able to juggle multiple engagements and understand that a busy M&A season may differ from a typical tax busy season.

This position plays an integral role in mentoring staff at all levels and will contribute to the continued growth of Weaver’s Transaction Advisory practice. This is a high-profile position with competitive compensation and strong career advancement opportunities for the right individual.

To be successful in this role, the following qualifications are required:

• Master’s degree in Accounting or related field and/or LLM in taxation
• CPA or CPA candidate or Bar Admission
• 5+ years of federal and/or state tax experience, ideally with a focus on private equity or private equity-backed clients

• Experience in M&A and private equity transactions
• Experience researching and writing technical tax issues
• Excellent written and communication skills
• Proven ability to manage, mentor and develop staff
• Strong relationship management and practice development skills
• Ability to attract and service new clients and expand services to existing clients

Weaver offers competitive health benefits (medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance) and a 401(k) plan. The firm supports flexible scheduled time off (STO), minimum of 56 hours of sick and safe leave, 11 holidays, and 2 recharge days. In-house CPE and learning opportunities are provided through our internal L&D department. Our learning program includes technical improvement, practice development, management/leadership training, and whole-life growth.
