WHAT YOU BRING MUST-HAVE - Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. - CPA/CA in progress or completed. - 2-4 years of tax compliance experience; multi-jurisdictional exposure a plus but not required. - No prior treasury experience required — we're looking for genuine interest in learning cash forecasting and treasury operations. - Comfortable with ambiguity and picking up new processes; adaptable and curious by nature. - Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) to support research, drafting, and analysis — no specific AI experience required, but genuine interest in using these tools to work more efficiently is a plus. - Strong Excel skills; exposure to tax software (e.g., Avalara) or ERP systems is a plus. - Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, and Operations. - Detail-oriented and organized, able to manage multiple deadlines.
