• Oversee VAT and corporate tax compliance for the division and assist with audit requirements

About You:

• Exceptional communication and business partnering skills — capable of translating finance to non-finance
• Hands-on, detail-focused and solutions-driven — comfortable rolling up sleeves to get results
• Strong grip on controls, processes, and cashflow management
• Experience with NetSuite is a bonus, but not essential
• Skilled in Excel and PowerPoint; able to produce clear, concise reporting
