CBIZ’s National Tax Office is in search of a Subject Matter Expert to serve as the National Co-Leader of its Partnership/LLC tax practice. The ideal candidate will bring premier expertise as it relates to the complex world of partnership and LLC taxation. Given our rapid growth both organically and via acquisitions, we are in need of a high-level candidate, so that we can shape internal policy and maintain an acceptable level of responsiveness to our offices' consultation needs in this area.
Essential Functions And Primary Duties
- Provide tax consultation to tax professionals in our practice offices on a variety of client tax matters throughout our national footprint. A primary emphasis will involve the “700 series” of the Internal Revenue Code, with secondary involvement in other ubiquitous areas of federal taxation (e.g., sections 170, 453, 469, etc.) as needed.
- Serve as the National Co-Leader for the Partnerships/LLC tax practice, which involves shaping and maintaining associated national policies and standards, providing timely insight on emerging technical matters, and identifying and implementing associated tax planning initiatives.
- Serve as a Subject Matter Expert for complex questions from our practice offices involving partnership pass-through taxation, such as mergers/acquisitions, equity-based compensation, profit/loss allocations (including waterfall and target capital allocations), profits interests, treatment of debt and quasi-debt instruments, impact of recourse vs. nonrecourse financing, debt work-outs, minimum gain allocations, tiered partnership issues, special basis adjustments and step-up allocations, hot assets, IRS audits, conflicts of interest among equity holders and the entity, partner/member/shareholder agreements, self-employment and limited partner determinations, private letter ruling requests, etc.
- Serve as a Subject Matter Expert for tax compliance reporting questions involving partnership pass-through taxation, such as evolving information disclosure requirements, amended return procedures, administrative adjustment requests, partnership representative matters, etc.
- In addition to providing client consultation in a variety of tax technical areas, we expect this person to contribute to the National Tax Office’s thought leadership programs, training programs, and risk management initiatives. This includes ongoing familiarity with trending legislative, administrative, and judicial developments. This would supplement current resources performing in those areas. Flexibility to travel is important, as programs and meetings occur across the country.
- The candidate should have a vision on how to expand the NTO billable practice in the partnership/LLC tax area, with the goal of hiring more partnership/LLC subject matter experts into NTO to assist the leaders.
- In addition to the role of Co-Leader of the NTO Partnership/LLC tax practice, the candidate should have broad expertise across the gamut of domestic federal tax issues. Many of the inquiries from local offices involve complex or unusual issues that require the expertise of our group but cannot be limited to specific sections or areas of the Internal Revenue Code. All NTO team members are expected to help answer these inquiries in a way that provides the best client service experience.

Highlight your CPA certification and specialized tax expertise
Emphasize CPA credentials, advanced tax certifications, and specialized knowledge in areas like international tax, transfer pricing, or M&A tax planning to demonstrate the specialized skills employers need.
Target multinational corporations and Fortune 500 companies
Large corporations with complex tax structures are most likely to sponsor visas for senior tax roles, as they need specialized expertise for compliance and strategic tax planning.
Emphasize leadership experience and team management skills
Tax Director roles require managing tax teams and interfacing with executives. Highlight your experience leading tax departments, managing staff, and presenting to senior leadership and boards.
Demonstrate knowledge of U.S. tax regulations and systems
Show familiarity with U.S. GAAP, federal and state tax codes, and software like Corptax or OneSource. This addresses employer concerns about the learning curve for international hires.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
What degree do I need to work as a Tax Director in the U.S.?
You need a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business administration, or related field. A master's in taxation or MBA is often preferred. CPA certification is typically required, and many employers prefer candidates with Big Four public accounting experience before moving into corporate tax director roles.
Do Tax Director roles qualify for H-1B visa sponsorship?
Yes, Tax Director positions typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship as they require specialized knowledge of tax regulations, corporate tax strategy, and compliance management. The role's requirement for a bachelor's degree and professional expertise meets the specialty occupation criteria under U.S. immigration law.
Which companies are most likely to sponsor Tax Directors?
Multinational corporations, Fortune 500 companies, large financial institutions, and companies with complex tax structures are most likely to sponsor. These organizations need specialized tax expertise for compliance, international tax planning, transfer pricing, and managing relationships with tax authorities across multiple jurisdictions.
Can I get a green card as a Tax Director?
Yes, Tax Directors can qualify for EB-2 green cards through the PERM labor certification process. Your advanced degree, professional certifications, and specialized expertise in corporate taxation position you well for permanent residency sponsorship, especially if you have experience with international tax matters.
What happens if I change jobs on an H-1B as a Tax Director?
You can change employers through H-1B transfer, but the new company must file a new I-129 petition. Tax Director roles are in demand, so finding sponsoring employers is generally feasible. You can start working once the new petition is filed, assuming your previous status was valid.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Tax Director jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
