Role Description

We are looking for a strong internal auditor in the tax-legal team. This is a role for a specialist who deeply understands journal entries, financial statements, and transaction logic, identifies risks, and can freely explain findings in clear language to lawyers, financiers, and management. We don't need a "formal checker," but someone who will help build a system: improve control, standardize audits, describe processes, and prepare the team for scaling (new companies, new flows, new types of operations).

What You Will Do:

  • Analyze the link between: contract, primary documents, actual operation, journal entry, reflection in reporting, and tax consequences.
  • Check intercompany operations considering tax risks: CFC, transfer pricing (TP), qualification of payments, and completeness of supporting documents.
  • Analyze risks regarding arm's length at an operational level: identifying where an operation falls into the TP risk zone, what data/documents need to be requested, and where contractual and actual logic do not match.
  • Identify and describe: errors in accounting, atypical/risky operations, weaknesses in internal controls, and discrepancies between facts, documents, and accounting.
  • Prepare clear conclusions for the team: what the problem is, why it's a risk, what to fix, and what documents/confirmations are needed.
  • Interact with accounting, finance, legal, tax, and external consultants/auditors.
  • Audit the accounting and financial reporting for group companies: journal entries, turnovers and balances, reconciliations, closing periods, and correctness of operations reflection in P&L / BS / CF.
  • Describe and improve processes (as-is / to-be): operation audit process, reconciliation process, documentation of findings process, control points, and checklists.
  • Participate in building new processes for scaling the group.
  • Manage tasks and statuses in Jira, recording logic and results in working documentation.

Qualifications

  • Confident understanding of the link between accounting and tax risks.
  • Understanding of intercompany operations and basic tax risks associated with them.
  • Working understanding of: CFC, TP / arm's length, and the role of contracts and supporting documents in tax defense.
  • 3-6+ years of experience in internal/external audit, financial control, reporting, or a related role.
  • Confident understanding of: journal entries, financial reporting logic, and internal control principles.
  • Ability to analyze complex operations and explain them in simple language.
  • Advanced Excel (mandatory): pivot tables, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH, reconciliations, and checking data arrays.
  • Experience with Jira.
  • Attentiveness, critical thinking, and systematic approach.
  • Ability to propose solutions, not just record errors.

Requirements

  • Experience in holding / international structures.
  • Experience in high-risk industries.
  • Experience building control procedures "from scratch".
  • IFRS
  • Experience with 1C / SAP / Oracle / NetSuite / Power BI.
  • Confluence, Power Query.

Benefits

  • L&D center with courses for employees and top managers;
  • Rotation program;
  • Medical insurance;
  • Paid leave;
  • Sick days;
  • Self-learning library, access to paid courses;
  • Stable payments;
  • Evoplay discount program;
  • Flexible work schedule / remote work;
  • Group discussions and individual sessions with a psychologist.
