About the role The Senior Tax Accounting and Compliance Associate sits within Bolt’s Group Tax function and works directly with the Senior Tax Accounting and Compliance Manager to execute the day-to-day tax accounting and compliance agenda across a portfolio of entities spanning more than 55 jurisdictions. The scope of the role covers the preparation of tax account reconciliations, corporate income tax (CIT) return inputs, effective tax rate (ETR) analysis, tax audit support, and internal tax reporting. The successful candidate will also contribute to process improvement and tax technology initiatives as the function continues to scale. This role offers broad exposure to international tax accounting across a high-growth multinational group, with strong potential for professional development. Main tasks and responsibilities: Tax Accounting & Notes for Group Consolidated Accounts: Own current and prior year tax account reconciliations across the entity portfolio, including return-to-provision work and prior year adjustments. Prepare tax notes and disclosures for the Group's consolidated financial statements, run year-end and interim reporting packages to the Group calendar, and coordinate with external auditors and local finance teams to get inputs in on time. CIT Compliance & Tax Authority Engagement: Prepare and review CIT return inputs across assigned entities with local advisers, ensuring accurate and timely filing. Maintain the compliance calendar, cash tax records, audit-ready working papers, the audit tracker, and the Uncertain Tax Position log. Coordinate audit responses with internal experts and support local transfer pricing filings alongside the central TP team. Tax Planning & Internal Reporting: Run entity-level ETR analysis, investigate deviations, and escalate material findings with clear root-cause summaries. Support the internal tax reporting cycle — cash tax forecasting, ETR forecasting, and budgeting — in lockstep with FP&A. Prepare quarterly tax risk reports on the Group's GRC platform and keep provision working papers consistent and traceable. Process Improvement & Technology: Review and update tax systems, procedures, and policies as the function scales. Spot inefficiencies in compliance and reporting processes and fix them. Own and improve templates for tax calculations, cash tax tracking, and UTPs across the Group. Contribute to the evaluation and rollout of a dedicated tax provisioning tool and broader automation initiatives. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Work closely with FP&A, local finance teams, external auditors, local tax advisers, transfer pricing, and Group Tax leadership to keep reporting, compliance, and audit workstreams aligned. Communicate tax issues clearly to management and act as a reliable point of contact across a 55+ jurisdiction footprint. Continuous Learning & Development: Build deep technical expertise across international tax accounting in a high-growth multinational. Stay current on tax law changes, accounting standards (IFRS), and emerging tax technology relevant to the Group. Take on stretch projects and ad-hoc queries to widen scope and progress toward the next step in the Group Tax function. About you Experience in financial accounting, tax compliance, or a related area – qualifications preferably in Accounting, Finance, Law, or a related field. A strong grounding in financial accounting principles is the primary requirement for this role, paired with a real interest in tax and the drive to build deep technical expertise across a complex, multi-jurisdictional environment. Candidates with solid accounting foundations who are developing their tax expertise are strongly encouraged to apply. Exposure to corporate income tax compliance is useful, even if it’s been a supporting role rather than lead preparer. Familiarity with transfer pricing principles and their interaction with corporate income tax compliance is a plus, but not a requirement. Comfortable using AI tools and applying prompting skills to cut through large data sets – whether that's classifying transactions, reconciling ledgers, or drafting first-cut analysis. Genuinely interested in how automation and tax technology are changing compliance workflows. Experience with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is a bonus – we use Workday. English C1 (advanced) is required, + additional languages is a nice to have. Why you’ll love it here: Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
