We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Tax Accountant to join our dynamic Corporate Tax team. This remote and flexible role is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional eager to grow their career in a European-focused tax environment. The role involves overseeing tax filings and reconciliations across 10 jurisdictions, primarily in Europe, rather than hands-on preparation.

This position is ideal for a candidate with strong UK accounting and tax experience who is interested in expanding their international tax exposure. You will coordinate tax compliance, reporting, reconciliations, and project support across multiple countries, working closely with local finance teams and the Global Business Services centre (GBS).

Within the corporate Tax team, this role will involve the US and UK cyclical corporate tax compliance for companies across Europe. The successful candidate will collaborate with the Corporate Tax Manager, local finance teams, and GBS to ensure accurate and timely US and UK compliance reporting.

What you’ll do

• Manage quarterly US tax workbooks and Tax provision reporting for European entities using OneSource Tax Provision software.
• Oversee the coordination and timely submission of corporate tax filings across 10 European jurisdictions.
• Coordinate the preparation of corporate tax returns, primarily by external providers or local finance teams, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
• Prepare tax return to accrual analysis for US tax workbooks.
• Calculate tax installment payments for the European group.
• Ensure compliance with SOX, standardized procedures, and internal controls.
• Administer routine tax compliance processes, including claims and elections within required time limits.
• Review fixed asset registers, CapEx, and Revenue spend for potential tax savings and correct classification.
• Collaborate with global mobility, payroll, and HR teams on employment tax reporting such as PSAs and share-based compensation.
• Support projects related to tax process improvements, restructurings, and cross-border planning.
• Engage with tax authorities and assist in managing audits as needed.
• Identify and implement process efficiencies, automation, and best practices in tax operations.

Minimum Required Qualifications

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) – essential.
• Solid accounting experience (more critical than direct tax experience).
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and financial systems.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills.
• Willingness to learn and grow in a diverse, international tax environment.

Desirable Criteria

• 2-3 years of experience in a Corporate Tax role.
• Experience with multinational tax reporting or working in industry is a plus.
• A recognized Tax Qualification, e.g., CTA.

Skills and Competencies

• Ambitious and career-driven, with a desire to progress within the organization.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced, international setting.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, effective across time zones and functions.
• Problem-solver, detail-oriented, and self-motivated.
• Flexible and collaborative in remote work environments.

Travel
