Tax Manager

Greater Denver Area – Englewood, CO | Hybrid (2 days in office)

This newly created role moves beyond compliance into strategic partnership — you'll bring rigor and structure to a complex tax environment while helping shape how tax informs real estate, investment, and philanthropic decisions. Because the position is new, you'll have room to build it, define best practices, and grow into expanded responsibility over time.

About CIG

CIG is a privately held investment and management organization that oversees a diverse portfolio of financial, investment, real estate, and philanthropic activities. We steward wealth across multiple generations and entities — trusts and estates, private foundations, partnerships, and investment holding companies.

We operate with the sophistication of an institutional investor and the agility and discretion of a private organization. The team is collaborative, well-resourced, and committed to disciplined governance and long-term value creation. Tax, accounting, and financial strategy are central to how we evaluate investments, structure transactions, and manage risk — which means this role has real visibility and real impact.

Why This Role

Sophisticated, varied work — partnerships, trusts and estates, foundations, real estate, and private equity, all under one roof
Access to decision-makers — direct partnership with senior leadership, with a real voice in how the organization plans and structures
Stability and growth — a well-resourced, long-term-minded organization that invests in its people, with structured knowledge transfer and a clear path to expanded responsibility
Culture — a hybrid schedule (2 days in office) and a culture built on professionalism, intellectual rigor, and mutual respect

What You'll Do

Manage the preparation and review of federal and state tax returns across a diverse entity structure, including partnerships, trusts and estates, private foundations, and high-net-worth individuals
Lead tax planning and projections, and model the tax impact of investment decisions, transactions, and ownership structures
Partner with external tax advisors to coordinate filings, extensions, estimated payments, and complex technical positions
Own the tax calendar across all entities, ensuring accurate and timely compliance year-round
Support the tax structuring of real estate and private equity investments alongside the CFO and investment team
Conduct technical research on partnership taxation, trust and estate matters, and HNW individual planning, and translate findings into clear recommendations
Review K-1s, track tax basis, and maintain organized documentation across the structure
Identify and implement process improvements that bring greater rigor and efficiency to the tax function
Monitor legislative and regulatory changes and assess their impact on the organization
You'll work closely with the Manager of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, the accounting team, investment professionals, and external advisors — serving as the trusted internal expert on tax.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of progressive tax experience in public accounting or a sophisticated family office environment
Strong technical expertise in partnership taxation, trust and estate taxation, and high-net-worth individual tax planning
Experience supporting real estate investments, private equity structures, or multi-entity ownership arrangements (strongly preferred)

A collaborative, detail-oriented professional who enjoys complex ownership structures and wants to build deep, long-term expertise

Hybrid Role — Candidates Must Reside in the Denver Metro Area

Apply
Salary Range:
$51,000.00 To $53,000.00 Annually
Help build a stronger start for Colorado's youngest learners
Every child deserves a high-quality early start — and the providers who deliver that care deserve a partner who makes it sustainable. As a CCP Specialist at Early Learning Ventures, you'll be that partner. Working hands-on with two to four child care sites, you'll coach leaders, grow great teachers, engage families, and bring comprehensive Early Head Start services to infants and toddlers in high-need communities. If you're energized by the idea of strengthening whole programs — not just one classroom at a time — this role was built for you.

About Early Learning Ventures
Early Learning Ventures (ELV) is a nonprofit on a mission to expand access to high-quality Early Care and Education. Through a unique shared-services model and a cost-effective online business platform, we take the back-office burden off providers so they can stay financially stable, save time and money, and focus on what matters most: caring for more children, better.

Through an Early Head Start–Child Care Partnerships (EHS-CCP) grant, ELV and its collaborators deliver best-in-class, comprehensive early childhood services to eligible children across six Colorado counties — leveraging our model to stretch every resource in support of infant and toddler development.

Your impact
You'll serve as the bridge between ELV program management and your assigned CCP sites — part coach, part compliance guide, part community connector. Your work spans five areas of development: Leadership, Professional, Business, Family Engagement, and Community. Day to day, that means showing up on-site, building trusting relationships, solving real problems, and helping good programs become great ones.

What you'll do
Develop strong site leaders

Provide on-site technical assistance, coaching, and support around center management, operations, human resources, and business development.
Guide site leaders through a continuous improvement process to reach full compliance with the federal Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) and standards set by licensing, health, fire, and other regulatory agencies.
Lead assigned sites through targeted quality improvement projects.
Grow great teachers

Implement a teacher and director professional development program, including coordinating and delivering training, coaching, and the teacher credentialing process.
Deliver Practice-Based Coaching for EHS teachers through individualized coaching plans — supporting an evidence-based infant/toddler curriculum, ongoing authentic assessment, and classroom observations that pinpoint teacher, classroom, and PD needs.
Ensure adherence to EHS service plans guiding early childhood development, health and safety, and effective classroom management.
Partner with families

Offer a family development program aligned with HSPPS and the Parent, Family and Community Engagement (PFCE) Framework that supports families' progress toward self-reliance.
Build a comprehensive family engagement program — parent curriculum, home visits, parent-teacher conferences, intentional engagement events, and county-based policy council participation.
Facilitate the eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment, and attendance (ERSEA) system per HSPPS and program policy, and maintain accurate data within the management system.
Strengthen communities and comprehensive services

Develop, revise, and oversee program policies and procedures — including annual service plans and monitoring processes — and participate in the Health Services Advisory Committee (HSAC).
Coordinate comprehensive health services with community providers, including a range of health screenings, and ensure compliance with EHS plans covering health, safety, nutrition, and disabilities services.
Support the development and tracking of contracts and MOUs that enable countywide Early Head Start services.
Represent ELV positively and professionally, building relationships with local agencies and connecting those resources to programs and families.
Keep everything on track

Document and maintain required records and reports — continuous improvement checkpoints, child health and development data, PD and coaching plans, case notes, referrals and follow-up, and monthly reports — in the Alliance CORE database.
Execute a monitoring and reporting structure with child care partners that ensures full HSPPS compliance and meets the needs of enrolled families.
Take on other duties as assigned as the program grows.
What you bring
Education

Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, Social Welfare, Public Administration, or a related human services field (preferred).
Experience & knowledge

Minimum 2 years in human services, including at least 1 year in an early childhood environment.

Bilingual English/Spanish (preferred).
