shortages are increasing demand for contract tax professionals:<\/strong> organizations are using contractors to fill skills gaps and maintain continuity during lengthy hiring processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tax teams need support beyond tax season:<\/strong> year-round compliance requirements and reporting obligations are creating ongoing demand for flexible tax talent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation and AI are reshaping tax functions:<\/strong> employers are seeking professionals with experience in tax software, automation and AI tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project-based hiring is on the rise:<\/strong> contract specialists are increasingly supporting M&amp;A activity, tax transformation and process improvement initiatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contract talent is becoming a strategic advantage:<\/strong> businesses are leveraging flexible tax professionals to access expertise, improve profitability and strengthen tax operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many challenges faced by in-house tax teams in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include ongoing talent shortages, evolving tax regulations, increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and growing investment in automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, businesses are under pressure to improve profitability, strengthen tax compliance processes and support wider financial planning objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, more organizations are turning to contract tax professionals to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewermorris.com\/in-house-contract-tax-recruitment-north-america\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"53111\">specialist expertise, additional capacity and strategic support<\/a> exactly when it&#8217;s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was once primarily a solution for maternity cover or temporary absences has become a key part of workforce planning for modern tax functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s why US companies are increasingly turning to contract tax professionals in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-talent-shortage-continues-to-impact-tax-teams\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">The talent shortage continues to impact tax teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ongoing talent shortage remains one of the biggest challenges facing employers across the US tax market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations are struggling to hire experienced professionals in areas such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Corporate tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indirect tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax compliance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax preparation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax technology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax accounting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Competition is particularly fierce for Tax Managers, Senior Managers, Directors and certified public accountants (CPAs) with experience managing complex tax obligations across multiple jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With permanent recruitment processes often taking several months, businesses are increasingly using contract professionals to maintain continuity while permanent hiring continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach allows tax departments to meet critical deadlines without putting additional strain on existing teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tax-season-is-no-longer-the-only-busy-period\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2\">Tax season is no longer the only busy period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historically, demand for temporary tax talent peaked during tax season. But today&#8217;s tax functions are facing year-round pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond annual tax preparation and filing requirements, teams are responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ongoing tax planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarterly tax provision work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managing IRS audits and examinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring changes in tax regulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting business expansion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving quality control processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivering strategic advisory services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This expanded remit means that many organizations require flexible resources throughout the year rather than only during traditional peak periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contract tax professionals can provide immediate support during periods of heightened activity, helping tax leaders maintain performance without committing to long-term headcount increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-automation-and-ai-are-reshaping-tax-functions\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3\">Automation and AI are reshaping tax functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest drivers of contract hiring in 2026 is the increasing focus on automation and digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many tax departments are investing heavily in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tax software implementation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automation programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data management initiatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Process improvement projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reporting optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solutions such as ONESOURCE, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cscglobal.com\/service\/corptax\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cscglobal.com\/service\/corptax\/\">Corptax<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alteryx.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.alteryx.com\/\">Alteryx<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/app.powerbi.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/app.powerbi.com\/\">Power BI <\/a>are becoming increasingly common as organizations seek to streamline workflows and reduce manual tasks. These projects often require highly specialized skill sets that may not exist within the permanent team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than hiring permanent employees for short-term projects, businesses are engaging contractors with proven experience in tax technology implementations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They bring specialist expertise while helping organizations achieve efficiencies, improve quality control and strengthen overall tax compliance processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tax-strategy-is-becoming-more-complex\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4\">Tax strategy is becoming more complex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As businesses navigate a changing regulatory environment, tax strategy has become increasingly important at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewermorris.com\/market-insight\/tax-hiring-in-tech-skills-uk-startups-need-but-struggle-to-find\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"54448\">board level<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax leaders are expected to contribute to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Entity structuring decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>M&amp;A activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Global expansion plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial planning initiatives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Profitability improvement programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk management strategies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, tax regulations continue to evolve, requiring organizations to adapt quickly to new requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent legislative developments, including discussions surrounding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and other tax reform initiatives, have increased demand for specialist advice and implementation support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses are seeking experienced professionals who can assess the practical implications of legislative change while helping maintain compliance and minimize risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contract tax specialists offer a flexible way to access this expertise without the need for permanent hires. They can support specific projects, advise leadership teams and help organizations respond quickly to changing market conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-rise-of-project-based-tax-hiring\" class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\">The rise of project-based tax hiring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations no longer hire contractors solely to fill vacancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, contract professionals are increasingly being engaged to deliver clearly defined business outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common project-based assignments include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tax transformation programs:<\/strong> supporting automation initiatives, tax software implementation and process redesign projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mergers and acquisitions: <\/strong>providing specialist support for due diligence, integration planning, tax planning and post-deal compliance requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Backlog remediation:<\/strong> addressing historic tax compliance issues, improving documentation and strengthening controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operational improvements:<\/strong> reviewing workflows, enhancing quality control measures and identifying opportunities to improve profitability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because these projects have a defined beginning and end, flexible contract recruitment often provides a more cost-effective solution than increasing permanent headcount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-accessing-senior-expertise-on-demand\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6\">Accessing senior expertise on demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another major trend is the growing use of interim tax leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies are increasingly engaging experienced contractors at senior levels, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interim Heads of Tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax Directors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Senior Tax Managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subject matter specialists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tax technology consultants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These professionals provide strategic guidance during periods of change, helping businesses manage risk while maintaining day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical scenarios include covering extended leave, supporting restructures, leading transformation programs or stabilizing teams following unexpected departures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to access senior expertise without a long-term commitment is proving highly valuable for organizations navigating uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-tax-professionals-are-choosing-contract-careers\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7\">Why tax professionals are choosing contract careers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth of the contract market is not being driven solely by employer demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many experienced tax professionals are actively choosing contract careers because they offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greater flexibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exposure to multiple industries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to complex projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher earning potential<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better work-life balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside traditional contractors, businesses are also seeing increasing numbers of specialist freelancers entering the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes former Big Four professionals, certified public accountants and enrolled agent professionals who prefer project-based work over permanent employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend is creating a stronger pool of experienced talent that organizations can access when specialist expertise is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-looking-ahead\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8\">Looking ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For employers seeking agility, specialist expertise and operational resilience, contract tax talent is no longer a temporary fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s rapidly becoming a strategic advantage that helps tax functions improve profitability, meet tax obligations and respond confidently to an increasingly complex business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get in touch today to discuss your hiring needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column
