Developed and maintained the tax accounting function within the CarVal organization. Created and managed a process and control environment to minimize overall risk to CarVal and the funds and assure that tax accounts and after-tax NAV reporting of investments are accurately reported. Established tax accruals and reserves for contingent liabilities to reflect all U.S. Federal, State and International taxes (income, franchise, withholding, transactional and otherwise) impact on each fund as appropriate. Principal accountabilities included functional lead, tax provision process, tax risk control and reporting environment, annual reporting process, tax accounting advisory, and training.Also, for a year I was embedded within the Tartan finance team (Tartan is a business process redesign and ERP implementation program). In this role I managed the tax matters of this decade-long, multi-billion dollar program. This included global transfer pricing, contract review, effective tax rate management, global mobility of personnel, and cash flow management. Through the development of a dashboard, I articulated for management the salient tax positions that impacted the effective tax rate of the Tartan business. I also created a risk profile for the 60+ countries to which costs were allocated and tax deductions were asserted.

Primary focus on tax accounting (FAS 109) for large, publicly traded multinational companies but also involved with other corporate tax consulting and compliance engagements.During 2008-2009 I contributed to one of PwC's Firmwide primary strategy workstreams as the project manager. I found this experience very gratifying as I was able to travel extensively, associate with Firm leadership, and research best practices in companies outside the industry to identify opportunities to integrate into PwC's own Best in Class organization.
