Meredith Smith

Meredith Smith – Senior Tax Manager, State and Local Tax

Meredith combines technical knowledge with an in-depth industry understanding of state and local tax (SALT) issues to expertly manage the complicated web of tax laws governing SALT issues. She performs nexus studies, identifies risk areas, supports acquisition efforts on both the buy/sell sides, and designs sustainable planning opportunities to achieve tax-specific business goals.

Meredith acts as a bridge and advocate between federal and state and local tax issues and discussions, helping businesses understand how various business elements impact tax positions and long-term strategy. She values providing practical business solutions to clients and enjoys diving into the weeds to really get to know businesses.

To Meredith, creating a personal connection with people is the key to long-term working relationships. Many of her clients have been with her since she began with TaxOps more than 10 years ago. As an outsourced tax partner, Meredith acts as a source of consistency over the changing landscapes that businesses experience within their own company.

 Prior to TaxOps, she was a member of the SALT practice at KPMG. In this role, Meredith focused on state income and franchise tax compliance and consulting, as well as state ASC 740 and ASC 740-10 documentation for large, multi-jurisdictional corporations and multi-tier partnerships. Her clients spanned a variety of industries including broadcasting and telecommunications, entertainment, oil and gas, private equity, real estate, restaurants, and various service industries.
