Job description

The King Difference
King Living is a family-owned Australian design company that has been designing and manufacturing its own furniture since 1977. We are vertically integrated — our own design, our own factories, our own showrooms — with operations across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, the USA, China and Thailand.

That footprint makes the tax function genuinely interesting. Income tax, FBT and indirect tax across multiple jurisdictions, transfer pricing across a related-party manufacturing and retail group, and new market entries that bring fresh registrations and obligations with them.

Working closely with the Head of Tax and the Finance Manager, you will cover compliance, tax-effect accounting, transfer pricing and advisory support — and you will get the breadth you would normally only find by moving between several roles. It is a hands‑on position in a lean team, which means visibility of the whole group rather than one slice of it.

What You Will Own

Tax Compliance & Reporting
Prepare income tax, FBT and indirect tax returns and workpapers across the group, along with annual tax-effect accounting — and keep every jurisdiction on top of its filing deadlines.

Transfer Pricing
Prepare intercompany schedules and transfer pricing calculations, monitor pricing against group policy, and strengthen our documentation with external advisors.

Advisory & Governance
Research the technical position and turn it into advice the business can use. Maintain our tax governance framework, and handle tax authority queries and external advisors.

Forecasting & Expansion
Contribute to tax forecasting, cash flow and budgeting, and support new market entries — registrations, obligations and getting each jurisdiction set up properly.

Process & Systems
Improve tax processes, controls and automation, support the testing of new accounting systems, and lift tax knowledge across the Finance team.

Who You Are

A technically strong tax professional who is happy working autonomously, and just as happy explaining a complex position to someone who is not a tax specialist.

• CA or CPA qualified with 5+ years post-qualification tax experience, in a multinational corporation or a large accounting or audit firm
• Strong understanding of income tax, indirect tax and transfer pricing, ideally across multiple jurisdictions
• Solid corporate tax compliance and advisory experience, with exposure to transfer pricing and international taxation
• Knowledge of internal control mechanisms, reporting and continuous improvement processes
• Highly accurate, with real attention to detail and the ability to analyse complex data
• Experience with large ERP systems, preferably SAP, and advanced Excel is highly regarded
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, able to collaborate across all levels of the business
• Naturally curious, with strong critical thinking and the ability to manage competing priorities

AI at King Living

King Living is actively embracing AI across the business to remove friction, increase visibility and accelerate decision making. You do not need to be an expert — but you should be curious, open‑minded and keen to use tools that take the manual effort out of compliance so your time goes to the work that needs judgement.
