Location: South Bend, Indiana

Salary: $100,000–$120,000
Position Summary
We are seeking a Senior Tax Associate to join a highly visible tax organization in South Bend.

This position will provide hands-on exposure to the full spectrum of corporate tax activities, including compliance, tax accounting, research, planning, and state and federal tax matters. The ideal candidate will bring strong technical tax skills, attention to detail, and the desire to grow into a Tax Manager-level leadership role over time.
