Job description

Vuly Play is a globally recognised, award-winning leader in outdoor play equipment, specialising in trampolines, swing sets, and monkey bars. Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, we operate across domestic and international markets spanning Australia, the USA, Europe, Malaysia, and beyond - experiencing rapid growth and continuous innovation.

As we expand our global finance function, we are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented Senior Tax Accountant to join our team in Hong Kong and help us navigate the complexities of global commerce.

The Role

Reporting to the Finance Manager (based in Brisbane), this Hong Kong-based position is central to managing Vuly Play’s tax compliance, reporting, and planning across multiple jurisdictions. A core component of the role is hands-on management of Australian tax obligations - including corporate income tax, GST/BAS, FBT, and R&D incentive claims - alongside broader international responsibilities. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of complex, cross-border tax work from a dynamic regional hub.

Key Responsibilities

Global Tax Compliance & Reporting

Prepare and manage Australian corporate income tax returns, FBT returns, and relevant state taxes - working closely with our Brisbane finance team and Australian advisors.

Manage multi-jurisdictional indirect tax obligations, including Australian BAS/GST, international VAT, and complex US State Sales Tax filings.

Oversee corporate tax compliance for international subsidiaries across North America, Europe, and Asia, coordinating with external local advisors.

Prepare and manage tax provisions for financial reporting in accordance with AASB/IFRS standards.

Drive R&D tax incentive claims under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive program, partnering with engineering and product teams to capture eligible expenditures.

Tax Planning, Transfer Pricing & Strategy

Own transfer pricing documentation, ensuring intercompany agreements and cross-border transactions remain compliant and commercially viable across all group entities.

Provide expert tax advisory on new business initiatives, supply chain structures, and potential market expansion - with particular focus on AU-HK and AU-US structures.

Identify and implement tax-saving strategies and efficiencies across the group’s global operations.

Audit, Risk & Process Improvement

Act as primary point of contact for tax audits and inquiries from the ATO and other foreign tax authorities.

Monitor domestic and international legislative changes - with a particular focus on Australian tax law - proactively assessing their impact on Vuly Play.

Partner with the broader finance team to automate and streamline tax-related workflows and month-end close processes.

General Finance Support

Assist the Finance Manager with complex accounting matters and month-end close processes.

Improve and automate tax-related processes and documentation across the group.

What We’re Looking For

Qualification: CPA, CA, HKICPA, or equivalent professional qualification.

Experience: 5+ years of dedicated tax accounting experience, ideally blending Big 4 / mid-tier advisory with commercial in-house roles.

Australian Tax Expertise: Proven, hands-on knowledge of Australian tax compliance - including corporate income tax, GST/BAS, FBT, and the R&D Tax Incentive program. Exposure to the ATO’s compliance framework and reporting obligations is essential.

Global Exposure: Demonstrated experience managing complex tax obligations across multiple jurisdictions, particularly Australia, North America, and the UK/EU.

Technical Expertise: Strong working knowledge of international transfer pricing frameworks, corporate tax structures, and financial reporting under AASB/IFRS.

Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex tax legislation into clear, actionable strategies for non-financial stakeholders across multiple time zones.

About You

Self-motivated and organised, capable of working independently across a distributed, international team.

Confident communicating with stakeholders in Australia, Asia, Europe, and the USA.

A natural problem solver who can translate complex, multi-jurisdictional tax requirements into practical strategies.

Flexible and adaptable in a fast-growing, dynamic environment where no two days are the same.

Why Join Vuly Play?
