• Manage banking administration, account access, signatories, and KYC requirements.
• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline tax and treasury processes across finance systems and banking platforms.

Qualifications:

• 3 years of progressive tax experience in public accounting or a corporate tax environment. More experienced candidates may be considered for a Manager-level opportunity.
• Working knowledge of ASC 740, corporate income tax, and indirect tax.
• Interest or experience in treasury, cash management, and banking operations.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines independently.
