Technical

Planning Analyst

Build the models that decide what a client can actually use, across several years rather than one.

Remote, United StatesFull time

Why this seat exists

The distance between a headline deduction and a usable one is where this firm earns its fee. Somebody has to compute that distance properly, every time.

What you would own

  • 01Build multi-year projections of income, liability, and the limitations that apply to each client
  • 02Model AMT corridors for option holders and the timing of exercises across years
  • 03Test proposed positions against basis, at-risk, passive activity, and excess business loss limits
  • 04Model state exposure and conformity, including for clients contemplating a move
  • 05Maintain the model library so the same analysis is not rebuilt from scratch each time
  • 06Produce the numbers that go into the written strategy, and be able to defend every one of them

What we are looking for

  • Strong quantitative ability and genuine fluency in a spreadsheet, including multi-scenario modeling
  • Working knowledge of individual and pass-through taxation, or the demonstrated capacity to acquire it quickly
  • Precision. This role produces numbers that clients act on
  • Comfort saying that a model does not support the conclusion somebody wanted

Useful, not required

  • CPA, EA, or CFA, or progress toward one
  • Experience in tax planning, valuation, or financial modeling
  • Any exposure to equity compensation analysis

What we offer

  • Substantive technical work from the start, not data entry
  • Direct mentorship from the Director of Tax and the principals
  • A clear path toward a senior technical or advisory seat
