n
A large, privately owned Australian business is appointing a Snr Tax Accountant into its group tax function. The business has scaled well beyond a single entity, and the tax agenda has grown with it.
n
The group operates across a number of related entities under common private ownership, with a tax function that supports compliance, reporting and structuring across the wider group. This is not a single client engagement. It is one team, sitting across a genuinely complex private structure, with the mandate to keep building on it.
n
Tax reports into the Head of Tax, and this role sits close to that mandate from day one.
n
The Role
n

Supports group income tax compliance and reporting across a multi entity structure

n
Works closely with the Head of Tax on group structuring matters as they arise
n
Prepares and reviews tax positions ahead of lodgement, with exposure to the full compliance calendar
n
Builds technical depth across a genuinely complex private group, not a single client engagement
n
Partners with finance and external advisors on technical positions as needed
n




Contributes to process improvement across the tax function as it continues to grow
n
Gets early exposure to the kind of group structuring work that would usually sit several years further into a career
n
n
Background Required
n
n
Three to six years of tax experience gained in advisory, at either Big 4 or mid tier level
n
Solid technical grounding in corporate income tax compliance and reporting
n
Exposure to group or consolidated entity structures is highly regarded
n
Comfortable moving from a client based advisory environment into an in house group function
n
Able to work independently on technical positions while knowing when to raise something with the Head of Tax
n
n
What's on Offer
n
n
Salary range $130,000 to $160,000 inclusive of super, calibrated to technical depth and experience rather than years of service alone. Hybrid working, three to four days in the Southbank office.
n
Direct exposure to the Head of Tax and a group tax function with genuine scope to grow, in a business built for the long term rather than a quarterly cycle. For someone ready to move from advisory into their first in house seat, this is a step into real ownership, not a lateral move into a quieter version of the same job.
