Houston, Texas | Full-time | ESP corporate team
The opportunity
ESP Enterprises provides workforce solutions and transit installation services, with business operations across over US 35 states. We are hiring for our corporate team in Houston to strengthen tax coordination, business entity compliance, and accounting and payroll support.
You will own the internal process that keeps deadlines, records, filings, payments, and open issues on track. You will work with leadership, accounting, HR/payroll, and our retained outside CPA, who provides technical tax expertise. This role offers the opportunity to build reliable processes and give leadership a clear view of compliance obligations.
Tax and entity compliance are the priorities. The position also includes confidential coordination of the owner’s personal tax matters, with payroll backup and accounting support as needed.
What you will do
Own a centralized tax and compliance calendar across entities and states. Coordinate applicable income, franchise, sales and use, employer payroll, unemployment, and withholding obligations; track estimates and extensions; verify filing acceptance and posted payments.
Partner with the outside CPA to assemble records and supporting schedules, review draft returns for completeness, and resolve information gaps. Coordinate the owner’s personal tax information and deadlines using separate, confidential records.
Resolve tax notices and discrepancies with the CPA and payroll providers. Reconcile balances, document responses, follow matters through closure, and help evaluate refund or penalty-relief requests. Keep leadership informed of deadlines, payment needs, and decisions.
Maintain entity records, state registrations, annual reports, renewals, and good-standing requirements. Administer the registered-agent account and route government and legal correspondence for action. Coordinate tax and registration reviews before new projects, locations, or significant transactions.
Provide payroll backup under established approvals. Review payroll tax accounts, deposits, filings, and reconciliations; support financial-statement reviews, account reconciliations, payroll burden analysis, budget comparisons, and management reporting. Document procedures and recommend improvements.
Arrange tax-planning discussions and identify relevant hiring credits, workforce grants, training reimbursements, and other incentives for CPA and management review. Coordinate approved applications, supporting documentation, and follow-up reporting, while keeping core compliance work the priority.
What you bring
Five or more years of relevant tax, accounting, or compliance experience, including hands-on work across multiple entities and states.
Working knowledge of business and employer payroll taxes, entity compliance, tax notices, and coordination with outside CPAs and payroll providers.
Experience supporting individual or business-owner tax matters and handling confidential financial information.
Strong Excel skills and practical experience with accounting systems, reconciliations, and payroll records; clear communication and reliable follow-through.
A bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional experience.
Preferred experience
CPA or Enrolled Agent credentials; QuickBooks; public accounting; or experience with privately held staffing, field services, construction, or other multistate service businesses. Familiarity with hiring incentives and workforce programs is helpful.
What success looks like
Accurate compliance records, timely verified filings and payments, resolved notices, useful recommendations, and dependable accounting and payroll support. You raise issues early and close them with documented follow-through.

Tips for Your Tax Compliance Manager Job Search
Quantify your compliance impact on your resume
Tax compliance managers are expected to show results, not just duties. Replace vague bullets with specific outcomes like reducing filing errors, cutting audit exposure, or streamlining processes across multiple entities or jurisdictions.
Highlight your software proficiency prominently
Employers screen hard for tools like Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE, Corptax, Vertex, and SAP. List the tax technology platforms you've used directly in your resume's skills section so it clears automated screening before a recruiter reads it.
Target openings that match your entity complexity experience
Job postings often specify whether the role covers consolidated returns, multistate filings, or international structures. Apply to roles where your entity count and complexity experience align closely, since hiring managers cut candidates who lack that specific scope.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists tax compliance manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare technical scenarios for panel interviews
Tax compliance manager interviews often include scenario questions on research methodology, uncertain tax positions, or ASC 740 issues. Walk through a real example from your career that shows how you identified the problem, researched the authority, and reached a defensible conclusion.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base salary
Tax compliance managers frequently have leverage on signing bonuses, CPA exam support, or continuing education reimbursements. Know the full package before you accept, and ask specifically about professional development funding, since it directly affects your credential maintenance costs.
Tax Compliance Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most tax compliance managers?
DuCharme, McMillen & Associates, EY, and BNY are hiring the most tax compliance managers right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, New York, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Financial services firms and large industrial companies tend to maintain the deepest ongoing demand for this role.
How many tax compliance manager jobs are remote?
About 84% of tax compliance manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in corporate tax functions. Roles focused on federal and multistate income tax compliance tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions tied to tax provision close cycles or audit defense more often require on-site presence during peak periods.
How do you become a tax compliance manager?
Start with a degree in accounting or finance and earn your CPA license, since most employers treat it as a threshold requirement. Build experience in public accounting or in-house corporate tax, focusing on federal and multistate return preparation. Progress into a senior tax analyst or tax senior associate role, develop proficiency in enterprise tax compliance software, and take on project ownership before moving into a management title.
Can you get hired as a tax compliance manager without direct management experience?
Yes, some employers hire strong senior tax professionals into a manager title when they demonstrate deep technical expertise and the ability to coordinate filings across a complex entity structure. Emphasize your ownership of end-to-end compliance cycles, your experience mentoring junior staff informally, and any process improvement work you led, since those signal readiness for the management step even without a direct reporting line.
What does the tax compliance manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen focused on software experience and entity complexity, followed by a technical interview with the tax director or controller covering return preparation methodology, ASC 740 concepts, and how you handle uncertain tax positions. A final round often includes a panel with finance or accounting leadership and may involve a written case study or a walkthrough of a past compliance project you managed.
Where can I find and apply to tax compliance manager jobs?
You can find and apply to tax compliance manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, industry background, and technical specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
