About Paul Mattiola

With over 30 years of distinguished experience in corporate tax operations, I have recently embarked on an exciting new chapter as the Senior Director of Tax Data Solutions at Verizon. In my previous role as the Director of Income Tax Operations at Verizon, I played a pivotal role in ensuring adherence to tax laws and regulations, driving innovation, and fostering efficiency. As a highly accomplished tax executive, my expertise spans tax compliance, process automation, system implementation, and technology integration. I have a proven track record of success in leadership, strategic thinking, and technical proficiency within the tax operations landscape. My journey includes holding various key positions at Fortune 500 companies such as CIT, AT & T, and Dun & Bradstreet. In my most recent role, I streamlined income tax returns using Corptax software and led a team of 22 tax professionals in transforming segmented tax compliance departments into a unified, highly automated, and efficient tax operations team at Verizon. Leveraging tools like Alteryx, I crafted robust models for apportionment planning and state NOL tracking. I provided data-driven guidance to internal stakeholders, including senior management, on tax planning strategies, risk management, and business decision impacts. Now, as the Senior Director of Tax Data Solutions at Verizon, I am thrilled to spearhead efforts in tax data management and analytics. Collaborating closely with Verizon Tax teams and senior executives, my focus is on leveraging my expertise in tax requirements, data solutions, and cloud technologies to design and develop modern data warehouse solutions. I am enthusiastic about contributing to Verizon's continued success in this dynamic field. I am not just a tax professional; I am a thought leader, sought-after speaker, and advocate for operational excellence in tax departments. My academic background includes a BA in Accounting from The Catholic University of America and an MBA in Taxation from St. John's University. Connect with me to explore opportunities for collaboration and discussion on tax innovation, and to stay updated on the latest trends in tax data solutions and corporate tax operations. Exciting times lie ahead, and I look forward to engaging with like-minded professionals in this ever-evolving landscape.#TaxDataSolutions #CorporateTax #Leadership #TaxInnovation #NewBeginnings
