What people are saying about Tax Director salaries

Tax Bowl

Tax Director

I'm a youngish (mid 30s) CPA and Tax Director for a large Series E funded company. I've spent the last 4 years building our tax department from scratch to handling all domestic SALT matters (in over 40 states) while maintaining financial reporting responsibilities under ASC 740 for the audit. I've also taught myself Python/SQL and have coded up many of the tools we use to handle/automate compliance. I feel like I'm substantially below market comp in the low 100s. Any thoughts from Fishbowl tax?
