In this role, you will be responsible for accurately reporting the US GAAP financial statement impacts of the Stryker US income tax provision and various elements of the global income tax provision. This hybrid role can be based out of our Portage, MI; Flower Mound, TX or Mahwah, NJ locations. We are looking for accuracy-oriented team leaders who can provide direct oversight of processes and results, ensuring accurate and timely completion of monthly, quarterly, and annual projections and reporting. As a subject matter expert, you will not only oversee the collection, review, and analysis of financial data but also interpret, translate, and present on all financial matters. Compliance-focused orchestrators are essential, as you will carefully oversee people, processes, and deliverables to ensure compliance with company policies and all financial regulations. Your primary responsibilities will include leading the US income tax provision process to accurately report US income tax expense and support various aspects of the global income tax consolidation process in compliance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). This involves coordinating information flow from multiple sources to accurately calculate and record the US income tax provision, preparing and approving journal entries, financial schedules, workpapers, and management reports. You will also review, reconcile, and analyze account balances for accuracy and reasonableness, summarizing and communicating financial results to senior members of Finance through written and oral communications. Additionally, you will provide key decision support for the company's forecasted effective tax rate and collaborate with other tax team members to analyze income tax accounting issues, including uncertain income tax positions as defined in ASC 740. As a leader, you will motivate and develop US-based direct reports, driving their tax accounting development through the creation of work plans, review and approval of work products, providing feedback and direction, and conducting routine performance reviews. Upholding the company's control framework related to reporting for income taxes is crucial to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting. You will work closely with external and internal auditors to satisfy corporate and SEC audit requirements and consult on effective internal controls. Researching and analyzing tax accounting issues will be part of your role to accurately interpret accounting and tax rules and support the development of tax accounting practices and policies. Collaboration with other Tax Department, Finance, and Division leaders will be necessary to identify and implement opportunities to maximize efficiency and optimize finance processes while ensuring compliance with all Company policies. You may also lead projects or offer decision support to projects as assigned.
