  • Validate account balances through rigorous, detailed reviews of reconciliations and journal entries prepared by both internal teams and third-party accounting firms.
  • Act as the strategic leader for statutory compliance , serving as the primary point of contact for international audits and managing the end-to-end filing of VAT, GST, and other local indirect taxes.
  • Orchestrate global treasury operations , overseeing international banking relationships, executing complex intercompany transactions, managing liquidity, and acting as the final approver for international payments.
  • Manage third-party performance by holding external international service providers accountable to strict SLAs, ensuring high-quality outputs on tight deadlines.
  • Serve as the internal subject matter expert for new international business initiatives, proactively providing guidance on accounting, tax, and transfer pricing implications before they launch.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to streamline existing global processes, moving beyond the status quo to design and implement "leading practice" workflows for a scalable future.

The ideal candidate will bring

  • 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience , ideally with high-growth industry experience working directly with foreign entities. Blending of "Big 4" public accounting a plus.
