Job Description:

The Organisation

Our client is a large, well established entertainment business with a significant presence across Australia.

Operating in a fast-paced, highly commercial environment, the organisation has a complex corporate structure and continues to evolve and grow. With contemporary offices in the Sydney CBD and a flexible hybrid working model, this is an excellent opportunity to join an experienced finance team within a recognised consumer-facing organisation.

Due to increasing demand for tax advice across the business, a newly created Senior Tax Accountant position has been added to strengthen the internal tax capabilities.

The Position

Reporting into senior finance leadership, the Senior Tax Accountant will play a key role across tax compliance, advisory and process improvement.

While the role will retain responsibility for core tax compliance and reporting, a major focus will be responding to tax queries from across the organisation, providing practical advice to stakeholders and helping streamline the way the tax function operates.

This is an opportunity for someone looking to broaden their exposure beyond pure compliance and work closely with a range of finance and non-finance stakeholders in a corporate environment.

Key Responsibilities

- Support the preparation and review of corporate income tax returns, tax calculations and supporting schedules.
- Manage and review indirect tax obligations including GST, BAS and FBT.
- Provide timely tax advice and guidance to stakeholders across the organisation.




- Research and respond to technical tax queries arising from commercial activities and business initiatives.
- Support tax effect accounting, year-end reporting and audit requirements.
- Assist with tax governance, controls and documentation.
- Monitor changes to Australian tax legislation and assess their potential impact on the business.
- Support interactions with external advisers and relevant regulatory authorities where required.
- Identify opportunities to streamline tax processes, reporting and systems.
- Assist with tax-related projects and broader finance initiatives as required.

Candidate Profile

To be successful in this position, you will ideally bring:

- 4+ years of Australian corporate tax experience gained within a corporate environment, Big 4 or a recognised professional services firm.
- Strong technical knowledge of Australian corporate tax, with exposure to GST and FBT.
- Experience providing tax advice and translating technical issues into practical commercial guidance.
- Tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Commerce, Finance or a related discipline.
- CA, CPA or CTA qualification, or progress towards completion.
- Strong communication skills with the confidence to engage with stakeholders across the business.
- Excellent attention to detail, organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities.




- A genuine interest in improving processes and helping develop a more efficient internal tax function.

What's on Offer?

- Newly created role within a large Australian entertainment business.
- Opportunity to combine tax compliance with genuine advisory and commercial exposure.
- Significant interaction with stakeholders across the organisation.
- Scope to improve and streamline processes within the tax function.
- Sydney CBD offices with flexible hybrid working.
- Supportive, experienced finance team within a high-profile and dynamic industry.
- Strong opportunity for ongoing career development as the tax function continues to evolve.
