- 3–5 years of experience in indirect tax operations and/or public company accounting, with hands-on exposure to U.S. sales/use tax and international VAT/GST workflows.
- Experience partnering with external tax advisors on registrations, return preparation/review, audits, and notices; adept at organizing inputs and driving to on-time filings.
- Exposure to AP/procure-to-pay workflows and an interest in improving vendor onboarding and year-end information reporting (e.g., 1099) over time.
- Exposure to fixed assets accounting (or a strong willingness to learn) - including subledger administration, capitalization vs. expense decisions, monthly close tasks, and reconciliations.
- Excellent documentation and organization; ability to stand up repeatable processes and maintain audit-ready evidence.
- Clear, concise communication and stakeholder management across Accounting, partners, and cross-functional teams.
