As an employer of choice winner time and time again, working with us means taking pride and having fun along the way; while growing and developing your career in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Could you be our next Tax Supervisor?

Sitting within the McDonald’s Australia Finance department and forming part of the McDonald’s Global Tax team, the Australia Tax team provides expert support to the McDonald’s business in both Australia and New Zealand. The role will have a great combination of commercial and technical aspects and will involve responsibilities for both compliance related projects and ad-hoc advisory work. Spanning across different taxes, areas of finance and juggling different priorities, the successful candidate will have solid tax technical understanding, flexibility, organisation, time management and a willingness to learn.

What can you expect on a day-to-day basis?

• Preparing Australian and NZ tax return and compliance obligations, including preparing supporting workpapers (e.g. Income Tax, FBT, Withholding Tax etc.) and reviewing of monthly BAS/GST filings

• Supporting the local and global tax team through tax authority interactions including audits and risk reviews
• Assisting the local and global tax team with international tax considerations, forecasting and tax effect accounting for both USGAAP and IFRS
• Driving tax processes and governance areas around tax risk (e.g. internal Tax Risk Management Policy and SOX obligations)
• Championing process improvements and transformation of the tax function including automation and streamlining of systems and processes
• Monitoring legislative and regulatory developments to ensure the company is compliant and manage relationships with internal finance contacts and external service providers

Your keys to success:

• Tertiary qualification in Commerce/Finance/Accounting or similar
• CA / CPA or Masters of Law / Tax (desirable but not essential)
• Knowledge of accounting principles particularly tax effect accounting
• Demonstrated experience working in teams and juggling competing priorities
• Curiosity and commercial awareness - understand the connections between tax and business
• Ability to manage different stakeholders
• Proven capability with different software packages and finance systems
• Experience with Excel, including lookups, pivot tables and similar functions preferred
