• Tax and VAT compliance: Support VAT reporting and other tax compliance activities across jurisdictions, including VAT returns, reverse-charge transactions, and withholding taxes, in collaboration with external tax advisors.
• Audit preparation: Prepare supporting documentation and audit files, coordinate information requests, and assist with interim and annual external audits.
• Internal controls and process improvement: Identify opportunities to strengthen financial controls, improve accounting workflows, and increase the efficiency and reliability of financial operations.
• Cross-functional accounting support: Contribute across the full accounting cycle, balancing routine processing with complex technical accounting tasks while maintaining high standards of accuracy and consistency.
• International collaboration: Work effectively with external service providers and colleagues across jurisdictions to ensure accounting practices remain aligned with applicable requirements and reporting deadlines.

Requirements

• A degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 5 years of accounting experience, ideally with an initial background in Big Four audit or accounting outsourcing.

• Experience working with multi-entity organizations, intercompany accounting, and preferably group consolidation.
• Hands-on Accounts Payable experience, including invoice processing, payment preparation, supplier reconciliations, and approval workflows.
• Working knowledge of VAT and corporate tax compliance, with international or cross-border VAT experience considered an advantage.
• Experience preparing for and supporting external audits, including compiling documentation and responding to auditor requests.
• Proficiency with accounting software and strong Excel skills; familiarity with Xero and ApprovalMax is an advantage.
• The ability to manage both routine accounting operations and complex technical tasks independently, accurately, and consistently.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies, identify risks, and recommend process improvements.
• A proactive, detail-oriented, and organized working style, with the ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
• Excellent English communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a remote, international team. French language skills are a plus.
