Job Title- Manager, Federal Tax Audits

Work Location- Franklin, TN 37067 Must be in the office on Wednesdays + 1-2 addt'l days/wk - plan on 3 days in office with Wed as mandatory

Additional comments from the HM:

We would be interested in a candidate who advises/consults companies on IRS audits. The candidate does not need to come from a corporate environment. They could come from a law or accounting firm, for example. Both will have professionals who support clients in defending against IRS audits. For information, we've shared the job description with the Big 4 national accounting firms (Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and E&Y) and a handful of law firms.

We are a large corporate taxpayer under continuous IRS examination. The IRS maintains office space in our HQ building and we meet with them weekly in person. We also do Zoom/Teams calls, but the weekly face-to-face meetings are wanted by both sides. Goes a long way in relationship building and managing face-paced, complex audits.

Job Requirements

·Lead and manage all stages of U.S. federal tax audits and controversy, including corporate income tax, employment tax, withholding tax, and excise tax audits, for the various industries in which Nissan operates (automotive, financing and insurance)

·Develop and implement comprehensive audit defense plans in collaboration with federal tax compliance and tax planning teams, internal departments and external advisors

·Prepare and present clear and concise explanations of tax positions to IRS auditors

·Implement tools to organize and track progress of audits, deadlines, deliverables etc.

·Keep management and other key stakeholders informed on federal tax audit matters

·Keep the state income tax compliance and audit teams informed of federal tax audit topics that may have an impact on state tax positions

·Build strong work relationships with key internal stakeholders (Accounting, Treasury, FP&A, IT, Legal, R&D, Purchasing, HR etc.)

·Stay current on changes in federal tax laws and IRS audit procedures

·Manage the performance and spend with external audit advisors

·Maintain the highest ethical standards, encourage open and transparent communication, promote diversity and reward employees' initiatives that bring value to Nissan and the tax organization

Meet face to face with IRS each Wed onsite at Nissan – need to be able to control the room

Person needs to have a lot of finesse, a lot of people skills in addition to all the technical skills, have to calibrate a lot

Prior IRS Experience

Federal Audit experience, not state or local, not sales and use, or state returns

This job does purely federal tax audits before the IRS. Under the audit is income, employment tax, defend W'2s, 1099, etc.

Keys to Success

1 - Organizational skills. A lot of volatility – on any given day the schedule can change based on the IRS. Tight negotiated turn around time with IRS very deadline given, would love this person to create a dashboard for tracking.

2. Verbal and written skills are critical – primary drafter of responses to IRS, can read questions, and know how to short and sweet responses, writing and research skills They sit with the IRS every week – 20 agents, administrative calls, have to be able to manage the room, have a strong relationship

3 Manage conflict, manage tough conversations – about 2% of the time. They do a lot of bridge building with the IRS, make relationships, they have done well at this

4 - Will lead/drive organization for information.

5 - No fearful of automation
