Job description:
We are looking for a Senior Accountant who is responsible for securing the integrity of financial reporting and local statutory compliance in India and Singapore, with a global remit covering intercompany accounting and support to the group’s transfer pricing and ongoing tax matters around the world. The role combines hands-on financial management with oversight of outsourced accounting, tax and payroll partners, working closely with the global Finance team – in particular colleagues in India, Hong Kong, Sweden and Canada.
Objective of the role:
Tax, audit and corporate governance
- Compliance with local tax laws and statutory filings: India (GST, corporate income tax, TDS and withholding tax on cross-border payments including Section 195, Forms 15CA/15CB and DTAA relief, tax audit and Form 3CEB) and Singapore (GST Form 5, corporate tax and IRAS/ACRA filings).
- Internal coordination point for income tax and transfer pricing assessments across the group’s entities – currently India, Singapore, Sweden and Hong Kong.
- Lead the local annual audits and act as key contact for auditors – the India statutory audit and tax audit, and the Singapore statutory audit and XBRL filing.
Primary corporate governance contact for both locations: ROC/MCA and ACRA filings, board and director documentation, corporate secretarial matters, and FEMA/RBI and export-related compliance for the Indian entity.
Global Intercompany Accounting And Transfer Pricing
- Own the global intercompany cycle: monthly intercompany working files and internal billing file with intercompany sales and purchase invoices, and reconciling and settling balances with the entity owners.
- Monthly currency revaluation across all group entities.
- Support the group’s transfer pricing cycle – collating data for the group transfer pricing report, master file and local files, coordinating with external advisors on India-specific requirements, and making sure the agreed intercompany pricing is applied.
Outsourced partners and ways of working
- Manage, monitor and review the deliverables of third-party accounting and payroll firms, and act as the escalation point when their output needs correction or follow-up.
- Support transitions between service providers and the rollout of global finance systems, such as the global payroll platform implementation for India and Singapore.
Payroll, Accounting, payments, cash and banking
- Together with the local People & Culture representative, act as the coordination point for outsourced payroll, authorising the payroll bank file and posting the payroll journals.
- Act as the escalation point when vendor output needs correction or follow-up.
- Weekly and monthly cash-flow forecasting and liquidity management, local banking relationships, and early flagging of funding requirements.
- Support the team with Month-end, quarter-end and year-end close for India and Singapore.
About the team:
Global Finance team of 13, spread across North America, Europe, and APAC.
Work Model: Hybrid, 2-3 days a week in office. Given that the team is geographically spread across different locations, meetings might occur outside of normal business hours.
Travel: Minimal
Reports To: Finance Director, Accedo Group (Toronto)
- Around 5-7 years of experience in tax and accounting, the majority of it gained in an audit, tax or accounting firm handling global clients – a Big 4 or other large accounting firm is preferred.
- Direct exposure to Indian direct tax, transfer pricing and statutory compliance, gained on cross-border or multinational clients.
- Experience supporting income tax and transfer pricing assessments in India – collating information, preparing data and reconciliations for responses to the tax authorities, and working alongside external advisors – including matters involving transfer pricing and international tax compliances.
- Familiarity with transfer pricing documentation in practice (local file, master file, Form 3CEB, benchmarking studies) and withholding tax on cross-border payments (Section 195, DTAA relief, Forms 15CA/15CB).
- Good working knowledge of Indian accounting, tax and statutory reporting requirements, and either exposure to Singapore requirements (GST, CPF, IRAS/ACRA filings) or a demonstrated ability to pick up a second jurisdiction quickly.
- Experience in a global, multi-entity organisation, with strong intercompany accounting and reconciliation experience and comfort coordinating across time zones and cultures.
- Quick to pick up new technology, and has actively tried AI tools in day-to-day work – we are interested in what you have used them for and what you learned.
- A real interest in improving how work gets done: spotting the manual and repetitive steps in a process and rethinking them.
- Comfortable with hands-on transactional work alongside compliance and reporting responsibilities, and self-starting without close daily supervision.
- Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Academic degree in Business Administration, Finance, or equivalent.
- Experience with an international ERP; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a distinct advantage.
- Involvement in finance automation or process improvement work – reporting automation, workflow tools, ERP process changes, or similar.
