About Stephanie Stephan Wilson

Tax Director (CPA) with over 20 years of experience leading ASC 740, U.S. federal and multi-state compliance, and tax governance across public and private-equity environments. I’m known for bringing order to complex, fast-moving situations—building repeatable close and filing rhythms, strengthening controls and documentation, and aligning cross-functional partners. I’m also a practical innovator: I streamline workflows, improve data quality, and build scalable models and processes that automate, reducing manual work. I enjoy roles where I can combine deep tax expertise with continuous improvement to build a function that’s accurate, agile, and ready for what’s next.
