Head Tax Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Riveron’s Interim Tax Management (ITM) practice embeds senior tax professionals directly into client organizations—stepping in as Head of Tax, standing up new tax functions, or leading through a major transaction. You’ll work across a range of clients, from private equity-backed portfolio companies to large corporates navigating regulatory complexity, delivering practical solutions with immediate impact.

In an environment marked by rapid tax regulatory changes at the federal, state, international and local levels, it is crucial to have real-time insights. Our team stays abreast of these changes and their implications for income and indirect taxes, allowing companies to focus on their day-to-day operations. By taking a proactive and practical approach, we deliver pragmatic solutions to address tax challenges and enhance internal tax functions.

Our Tax Advisory services encompass a range of areas, including Accounting for Income Taxes, Transaction Tax, Sales and Use Tax, Distressed and Bankruptcy Tax, and General Tax Consulting including Transfer Pricing and Tax Technology solutions. With our expertise in these domains, we offer tailored guidance and strategic counsel to meet the unique needs of each client.

Whether a client needs an interim Head of Tax, assistance standing up a tax department, or leadership through a major transaction, Riveron's ITM professionals deliver practical solutions with immediate impact. What makes this role distinctive: no two engagements are alike. You’ll rotate across industries and client situations—bringing real-time judgment where it matters most, with the backing of a national consulting platform.
