Ready for a tax role with more variety, autonomy and international exposure?

We are recruiting a Tax Accountant – APAC to join Sims Limited, a global organisation offering an excellent opportunity to broaden your tax experience beyond routine compliance.

If you already have some APAC tax experience and are looking for your next career move, this role offers an interesting combination of hands-on tax, international exposure, research, analysis and project work.

You don't need to be an expert across every APAC jurisdiction. We're looking for someone with a good grounding in tax, relevant APAC exposure and, importantly, the curiosity and initiative to investigate problems and find solutions.

What makes this opportunity different?

This is not simply a tax checking or auditing role.

Alongside your regular tax responsibilities, you'll be trusted to investigate issues yourself. That could mean identifying what information you need, pulling data and reports, carrying out research, analysing your findings and helping develop practical solutions. CVD SIMS Metal TAx Accountant A…

About You

You may be working in an accountancy practice, within an in-house tax team or in a broader finance/tax position and be ready for a gear change.

Perhaps you're part-qualified and want greater international exposure. Or you've gained good tax experience but want a position offering more variety, responsibility and problem-solving.

We're looking for:

- Previous APAC tax experience
- A good grounding in tax and accounting principles
- A degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax or a related discipline

Experience using PivotTables, XLOOKUP, Power Query/data sets and ERP systems would be advantageous.

Why Join Sims?

This is a great opportunity to build a broader international tax career within a global organisation.

You'll gain exposure to different APAC jurisdictions, international transactions, current markets, systems and process improvement, while continuing to develop your core tax expertise.
