Perform reconciliation between internal systems and external sources, investigate breaks, and ensure data integrity ahead of each filing cycle. Maintain and update data quality tracking tools and dashboards.
• Client Support: Handle client inquiries and requests related to tax reporting, cost basis, withholding, and IRS notices through the service desk ticketing system. Provide timely, accurate information on 1099 and 1042-S reporting, cost basis methodology, and withholding obligations to support client satisfaction and regulatory compliance.
• Process Improvement & Automation: Actively participate in initiatives to improve operational procedures, reduce manual intervention, and enhance data accuracy. Contribute to the development and testing of automated workflows, diagnostic tools, and reporting dashboards. Provide recommendations and insights that may influence the strategic direction of tax operations.

• Experience: Minimum of 1 year in tax reporting operations, brokerage operations, cost basis, or financial services operations preferred. Bachelor's degree in finance, Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Knowledge of SQL, data analysis, and Claude AI is highly desirable.
