Tax Risk & Controls Specialist

Київ, за кордоном, віддалено

We are looking for a strong Internal Auditor to join the Tax & Legal team. This role is suited for a specialist who deeply understands journal entries, financial statements, and transaction logic, can identify risks, and clearly explain findings to lawyers, finance teams, and management.

This is not a “formal checker” role — we are looking for someone who will help build systems: improve controls, standardize audits, document processes, and prepare the team for scaling (new entities, new flows, new types of operations).

What You Will Do:

  • Analyze the full chain: contract → primary documents → actual operation → journal entry → reporting → tax implications.
  • Eng -C1+
  • Review intercompany operations with a focus on tax risks (CFC, transfer pricing, payment qualification, completeness of supporting documentation).
  • Assess arm’s length risks on an operational level: identify risk zones, define required documentation, and detect inconsistencies between contractual and actual logic.
  • Identify and document accounting errors, atypical or high-risk operations, internal control weaknesses, and discrepancies between facts, documentation, and accounting records.
  • Prepare clear, structured conclusions: define the issue, explain the risk, recommend actions, and outline required documentation or confirmations.
  • Collaborate with accounting, finance, legal, tax teams, and external consultants/auditors.
  • Audit accounting and financial reporting across group companies: journal entries, balances, reconciliations, closing processes, and accuracy of P&L / BS / CF reporting.
  • Develop and improve processes (as-is / to-be): audit workflows, reconciliation processes, documentation standards, control points, and checklists.
  • Participate in building scalable processes for group expansion.
  • Manage tasks and statuses in Jira, documenting logic and results in working files.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of the relationship between accounting and tax risks.
  • Knowledge of intercompany operations and related tax risks.
  • Practical understanding of CFC, transfer pricing (TP / arm’s length), and the role of contracts and supporting documents in tax compliance.
  • 3–6+ years of experience in internal/external audit, financial control, reporting, or similar roles.
  • Solid understanding of journal entries, financial reporting logic, and internal controls.
  • Ability to analyze complex transactions and explain them clearly.
  • Advanced Excel skills (mandatory): pivot tables, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH, reconciliations, data validation.
  • Experience with Jira.
  • High attention to detail, critical thinking, and structured approach.
  • Ability to propose solutions, not just identify issues.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in holding or international structures.
  • Experience in high-risk industries.
  • Experience building control procedures from scratch.
  • IFRS knowledge.
  • Experience with SAP / Oracle / NetSuite / Power BI.
  • Familiarity with Confluence, Power Query.

We Offer:

  • Learning & Development center with courses for employees and top managers.
  • Rotation program.
  • Medical insurance.
  • Paid leave and sick days.
  • Access to a self-learning library and paid courses.
  • Stable compensation.
  • Flexible schedule and remote work options.
  • Group discussions and individual sessions with a psychologist.
