Job Description
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.
