Tax Manager – Fund Compliance & Reporting (Hybrid 3 days/week onsite)

Pure Search is supporting a leading private investment firm hiring a Tax Manager to join its Greenwich, CT office. This role is ideally suited for tax professionals based in Fairfield County, Westchester, or along the Metro-North corridor or NYC-based candidates open to a reverse commute (against traffic, roughly 40 minutes from Grand Central).

As Tax Manager, you will support senior tax leadership in managing the firm's US tax compliance function across a sophisticated, multi-tiered fund platform. You'll partner closely with internal accounting, legal, and investor relations teams while coordinating with top-tier external tax advisors. This is a high-visibility role with meaningful exposure to complex structures and cross border work.

Key Responsibilities

• Support US federal and state tax compliance across a multi-entity fund platform, including review of partnership, corporate, REIT, and international filings
• Review investor Schedule K-1 reporting for accuracy and timeliness
• Manage joint venture information requests and the associated return workflow
• Coordinate information gathering between internal accounting and external tax preparers for quarterly and year-end reporting
• Oversee entity classification elections for non-US entities, working alongside global colleagues and external advisors
• Manage federal and state tax notice resolution and maintain the firm's tax return tracking database
• Partner with legal on state tax registrations and with investor relations on tax-related investor inquiries
• Support fund and property-level audit teams with year-end reporting, including ASC 740/FIN 48 analysis
• Contribute to transfer pricing documentation and ongoing REIT compliance matters (periodic testing, TRS elections, due diligence)
• Take on ad hoc projects in support of the broader tax team

Ideal Background

We're open to a range of backgrounds. The strongest candidates will bring meaningful experience in on or more of the following areas:

• Fund tax — private equity, real estate, credit, hedge, venture, or fund-of-funds
• Tiered partnership structures — multi-tier flow-through entities, allocations, and reporting
• Public accounting — Big 4 or national firm experience serving asset management, financial services, or real estate clients
• In-house tax — asset manager, family office, or institutional investor tax function
• REIT or real estate tax — compliance, testing, and structuring exposure
• International tax compliance — non-US entity reporting, entity classification, withholding
• Partnership allocations — including waterfall mechanics, targeted allocations, or §704(b)/(c)

Candidates who bring strong technical fundamentals from one area and are eager to broaden into others are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years of relevant tax experience (public accounting, in-house, or a combination)
• CPA or CPA candidate strongly preferred; MST or JD/LLM a plus
