Tax Accounting & Forecasting - Senior Manager

The Senior Manager of Tax Accounting & Forecasting will support the build-out and day-to-day execution of the Tax Accounting & Forecasting function within the US Firms Tax ("USFT") organization, providing increased transparency and visibility into taxable income of the US Firms for our Partners, Principals and US Firms leadership.
This role is responsible for driving the operating cadence of the quarterly taxable income forecasting process-translating inputs into well-controlled analyses and deliverables, enforcing documentation and governance standards, and ensuring high-quality, on-time outputs. The Senior Manager will lead key workstreams (data intake, modeling, scenario analysis, controls, reporting packs, and stakeholder coordination) and will manage team members supporting the cycle. This role will also support executive-level reporting for the Finance & Audit Committee ("FAC"), the Board of Directors, and Partner/Principal communications by producing clear narratives on assumptions, risks, and key drivers.

Recruiting for this role ends on April 30th 2026.

  • Maintain the assumptions/change log and ensure disciplined change control across cycles
  • Collaborate on the annual taxable income forecast model (periodic/quarterly refresh), aligned to business plan, latest forecast, and actual results
  • Own the translation of financial results to taxable results by supporting the team as they analyze forecasted financials, identify material permanent and temporary differences resulting in forecasted key book-to-tax adjustments, entity/jurisdictional impacts, and other discrete items
  • Partner with FP&A and Controllership to reconcile forecast-to-actual drivers (revenue, margin, compensation, impairments, restructuring, intercompany, etc.) and incorporate updated assumptions
  • Provide support for the yearend input to consolidated taxable income (e.g., interim tax accounting support, effective taxable income driver analysis and reconciliation, quarterly/annual forecasted taxable income reporting packages)
  • Partner with other USFT leaders to conduct scenario and sensitivity analysis (e.g., base/upside/downside; legislative or business changes) with clear driver attribution
  • Oversee driver analysis, sensitivity/scenario analysis, and variances vs. prior outlook and actuals; ensure insights are decision-ready
• Lead workstreams and develop the team
  
  
  • Manage and develop team members supporting the forecasting process (work allocation, coaching, quality review, performance feedback)
  • Establish clear handoffs and quality checkpoints to reduce rework and improve cycle time
  • Drive issue resolution across cross-functional dependencies and escalate with options/impacts as needed
• Operate and strengthen the control environment
  
  
  • Own operational control execution for the cycle (review checklists, evidence retention, version control, review protocols) and ensure audit-ready traceability
  • Ensure documentation standards are met for methodology, key judgments, and support for outputs used in executive reporting
  • Identify control gaps or recurring process issues and drive remediation plans with owners and timelines
• Lead reporting development and executive-ready communications
  
  
  • Produce and quality-review leadership-ready materials (summary narratives, reporting packs, key driver exhibits, risk/issue logs, decision points)
  • Support FAC/leadership reporting by ensuring clarity, accuracy, and traceability to underlying analysis
  • Establish a reporting cadence for the Partner/Principal community and support communications to this group by translating technical outcomes into plain-language drivers, variances, and implication
• Continuous improvement and innovation
  
  
  • Identify and deliver enhancements (standardized templates, workflow improvements, automation opportunities, data quality controls, repeatable reporting packs)
  • Partner with enabling teams to improve data access, reporting efficiency, and analytics capabilities
  • Capture lessons learned each cycle and implement process improvements ahead of the next quarter
