Job Description
Rivet operates as an AI-enabled corporate and personal tax preparation firm supporting over 1,000 innovative founders, executives, high-net-worth individuals, and venture capitalists. Backed by investors such as XYZ Ventures, Susa Ventures, and Haystack Ventures, the organization integrates corporate tax, personal taxes, R&D credits, and bookkeeping into a unified platform. Rivet is currently hiring a remote Tax Manager specializing in Form 1065 or 1120-S filings.
This position acts as the technical backbone for the firm's corporate portfolio. The role suits a hands-on U.S. tax professional who enjoys diving into source documents, resolving complex tax issues, and ensuring output is thoroughly defensible. Rather than focusing on arbitrary time-tracking, Rivet prioritizes technical accuracy, judgment, and results. Working alongside Client Success Managers who handle administrative coordination, the Tax Manager maintains quality control, builds repeatable processes with the engineering team, and provides reliable technical guidance to clients and internal staff.

- Analyze operating agreements, cap tables, distribution waterfalls, and transaction documents to produce clean workpapers and allocations
- Provide technical guidance concerning state income and franchise taxes, nexus, apportionment, withholding, and pass-through entity tax elections
- Review matters involving foreign partners, withholding requirements, and information reporting forms such as 8804, 8805, 1042, and 1042-S
- Partner with Client Success Managers to meet filing deadlines while managing competing priorities and identifying risks early
Requirements
- Hold a CPA or EA designation
- Possess five or more years of hands-on U.S. tax experience concentrating on flow-through entities

- Demonstrate the ability to independently prepare or review basis, capital account, special allocation, Section 704(c), and Section 743(b) calculations
- Show proficiency in reading partnership and operating agreements to connect economic provisions with tax allocations
- Exhibit strong tax research abilities and clear communication skills
Qualifications
- Experience with 704(b) book adjustments, private fund partnerships, GP/LP structures, and carried-interest allocations
- Background in targeted capital accounts, complex distribution waterfalls, disguised-sale rules, and partnership-interest transactions
- Experience handling individual and blocker corporations along with equity-compensation reporting
- Familiarity with transaction modeling, tax planning, tax notices, and federal or state examinations
- Prior involvement in developing technical guidance or training tax professionals
- Exposure to technology-forward or automated tax workflows
