Tax Director/Practice Leader

About Us

Collaborative Business Solutions has served businesses and individuals since 2011. We pair Big 4 rigor with a modern, technology-forward approach to accounting and tax. We serve about 400 clients, and we’re growing nationally, partly through strategic acquisitions of other firms. We’re a small, high-performing team where senior people have real authority and a direct impact on how the firm runs.

• Highly detail-oriented, ensuring every return is complete and accurate before it goes out

• Experience with complex technical matters such as accounting method changes (Form 3115), the R&D tax credit, and foreign filing and reporting requirements (e.g., Forms 5471, 8865, 8938, and FBAR)
• Experience representing clients before the IRS and resolving complex compliance issues, including notices, examinations, and penalty abatement
• Proven ability to lead staff and manage a busy workflow
• Excellent client communication skills and comfort recommending additional services
