  • Buy-side and sell-side due diligence for both domestic and international transactions
  • Experience with Section 382 limitations, 338(h)(10) elections, and step-up planning
  • Familiarity with BEPS Pillar 2, Subpart F, GILTI, and transfer pricing
  • Proven ability to partner cross-functionally with legal, treasury, and corporate development teams

We prioritize candidates with Big 4 or Fortune 500 transaction experience who have managed live deal execution under time-sensitive conditions.
