Tax Manager – West Houston

This Tax Manager will fully own the tax function for a growing construction company and be the go‑to tax leader for a multi‑state operation. This is a high‑visibility role with real impact, autonomy, and long‑term growth potential.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Own the tax function end‑to‑end with true autonomy and executive visibility

• Join a construction company that has is positioned for strong future growth

• Step into a role where tax leadership directly impacts cash flow, compliance, and project success

• Partner closely with the CFO and external advisors.

• Gain exposure to complex, multi‑state tax environments across active construction projects

• Opportunity to influence process improvements after prior administrative challenges

• Ideal platform to grow into a long‑term Director‑level tax leadership role

• Stable industry outlook with continued expansion across multiple contracting entities

Key Responsibilities:

• Own all federal, state, and local tax compliance across multiple states

• Prepare and oversee income tax filings, franchise taxes, and contractor licensing requirements

• Manage state unemployment tax compliance and multi‑state registrations

• Maintain good standing with top project states and ensure compliance across all active jurisdictions

• Oversee monthly tax entries, estimates, and close‑related tax activities

• Act as primary liaison and manager of the third‑party accounting and tax firm

• Support accounting close with tax-related guidance, including deferred tax assets and liabilities

Qualifications for the Tax Manager:

• 3–10 years of progressive tax experience, ideally within construction or contracting environments

• Strong multi‑state tax compliance experience (state, local, and federal)

• Solid accounting foundation with understanding of financial statements, debits, and credits

• Prior experience managing or coordinating with external accounting or tax firms
