The Challenge
A $5B+ healthcare organization with extensive real estate holdings needed to add another Tax Manager due to rapid growth. Although historically the company had outsourced tax, they had recently decided to bring it, and many other functions in-house, necessitating this additional hire.
The role was uniquely challenging to fill because it required finding a candidate with a blend of public accounting and corporate tax experience alongside a precise cultural fit. Urgency was heightened as their other Tax Manager was preparing for maternity leave, making this hire critical to sustaining compliance and strategic tax operations. Given the difficulty of the search and the need for expediency, the company reached out to Alliance Resource Group for help in filling the role.
The Solution
Finding the right balance of technical skill, cultural alignment, and background was complex. Alliance recruiters leveraged their network to target professionals from companies recently acquired, identifying candidates with strong expertise and an openness to new opportunities due to organizational transitions.
They successfully recruited exceptional candidates by emphasizing the company’s growth trajectory, collaborative environment, and commitment to developing inhouse tax leadership—positioning the role as a unique career advancement opportunity within a thriving healthcare enterprise.
The Outcome
The healthcare organization selected a candidate who brought a strong foundation from Big 4 public accounting and progressive corporate tax experience at a high-growth, publicly traded, medical device company. She had led key tax functions, streamlined compliance and provision processes through automation, and partnered cross functionally with FP&A, Legal, Treasury, and Accounting.
From day one, she delivered measurable impact, strengthened internal tax capabilities, and proved to be a strong cultural addition—ensuring business continuity and positioning the tax team for future success.
