The opportunity

Unity’s Global Tax team is hiring a Senior Tax Analyst to support U.S. income tax reporting and compliance, including quarterly and annual ASC 740 provisions, U.S. federal and multistate tax returns, and R&D tax credit studies.

You will be a key contributor in preparing accurate, review-ready calculations and workpapers that support Form 10-Q and Form 10-K tax reporting, effective tax rate analysis, cash-tax forecasting, and the federal and multistate compliance cycle. You will coordinate with external advisors and partner with Accounting, Revenue Accounting, External Reporting, FP&A, Payroll, Treasury, Engineering/R&D, Legal, and Procurement. In the first year, success means becoming a dependable preparer across recurring provision and compliance workstreams while improving the team’s processes and controls.

- Supporting the U.S. federal and multistate compliance lifecycle by preparing and reviewing data requests, book-to-tax adjustments, state apportionment, estimates, extensions, and workpapers and returns prepared by external advisors.
- Supporting R&D tax credit studies and related Section 174 analysis by gathering data, validating assumptions, preparing calculations, and documenting conclusions.
- Partnering with Accounting, External Reporting, FP&A, external auditors, and tax advisors to support tax disclosures, SOX controls, audits, cash-tax forecasts, and recurring deadlines.
- Improving tax processes, controls, reconciliations, and data workflows using OneSource Tax Provision, Excel, and appropriate automation and AI tools.

What we’re looking for

- Hands-on experience preparing ASC 740 income tax provision calculations and supporting workpapers.
- Strong knowledge of U.S. federal and multistate corporate income tax compliance, including book-to-tax adjustments and state apportionment.
- Advanced Excel skills, including experience working with large data sets, building and reviewing complex calculations, reconciling results, identifying discrepancies, and producing clean, review-ready workpapers.
- Experience coordinating with external tax advisors and managing multiple deliverables through tight reporting and filing deadlines.
- Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to produce accurate, well-organized, review-ready documentation.

You might also have

- Public-company reporting, SOX controls, and external-audit experience.
- Experience with OneSource Tax Provision, OneSource Income Tax, Alteryx, or similar tax technology.
- Experience with R&D tax credits, Section 174, and technology or SaaS companies.
