The Role

Reporting to the Senior Manager, this role will play a key part in managing Australian tax compliance, reporting and provisioning within a large, global FMCG organisation.

You'll work closely with regional and global tax teams, external advisers and internal stakeholders, gaining exposure to a broad range of tax matters within a complex multinational environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage Australian tax compliance obligations, including income tax, GST, FBT, payroll tax and R&D tax incentives.
  • Prepare tax reporting packs for regional and global tax teams in line with Australian and US GAAP requirements.
  • Support tax provisioning, including current and deferred tax calculations, reconciliations and reporting.
  • Prepare and review tax-related balance sheet reconciliations, journals and month-end reporting.
  • Review fixed asset tax depreciation and ensure compliance with relevant legislation and internal policies.

  • Support tax audits, SOX controls and testing, and requests from revenue authorities.
  • Contribute to tax-related integration projects, process improvements and strengthening tax governance.
  • The Successful Candidate

You're a CA/CPA-qualified accounting professional with experience across tax compliance, reporting and financial accounting.

You have a sound understanding of Australian tax requirements, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

You may have gained your experience within a Big Four or mid-tier accounting firm, or in an in-house corporate finance team.

Experience with tax-effect accounting, tax provisioning, income tax returns or working within a multinational environment will be highly regarded.
