The role

We are looking for an Accounting & Tax Compliance Supervisor to join our Finance team.

You will also be a key point of contact for our external auditors, making sure audits are completed efficiently and within the agreed timelines.

What you'll do

As our Accounting & Tax Compliance Supervisor, you will validate the accuracy and correct classification of all accounting inputs recorded in the P&L and balance sheet for every group subsidiary. You will lead a timely and accurate monthly and year-end close, and prepare the statutory financial statements of the group entities.

You will oversee the tax compliance of all entities, coordinating directly with external tax advisors to ensure every filing is accurate and on time. You will also coordinate the annual external audit: preparing documentation, answering auditors' requests and following up on their recommendations.

You will work closely with the Finance Manager and the CFO, with regular interaction with external auditors, tax advisors and banks.

  • Team leadership: lead the accounting & tax team (3 people plus external advisors) to ensure accurate, timely financial reporting and full compliance with local and international tax obligations.

  • Full accounting cycle: oversee journal entries, accruals, provisions, and month-end and year-end closings.

  • Balance sheet integrity: perform and review account reconciliations (banks, intercompany, fixed assets, accruals, payables and receivables) and resolve discrepancies promptly.

  • Tax reporting and compliance: prepare, file and control direct and indirect taxes (VAT, including OSS and intra-community operations, corporate income tax and withholdings) for all entities, in collaboration with external tax advisors.

  • Tax position: monitor the group's tax position and ensure the timely recovery of tax refunds.

  • Tax authorities: support responses to requests and inspections from tax authorities.

  • External audit coordination:

    • Act as a point of contact for external auditors during annual audits.

    • Prepare PBC (Prepared by Client) lists, reconciliations and supporting documentation.

    • Review and book audit adjustments, and follow up on management letter recommendations.

  • Statutory reporting: prepare the annual financial statements of the group entities and support their approval and filing.

  • Internal controls and documentation: maintain accounting policies, close checklists and a clear audit trail to ensure compliance and audit readiness.

  • Process optimisation and automation: evaluate and streamline existing processes, and implement tools and systems (NetSuite, automations) to improve efficiency and reduce errors.

  • Treasury support: assist with bank reconciliations, payments and banking relationships for multiple companies.

Hiring process

We try to keep it simple. Often recruiting processes are intransparent, long and complicated operations. At YABA, we want to attract the best talents by creating a simple and transparent recruiting process that is aligned with our company culture.

We will try to ensure you have a maximum of 3 interactions with us. 

  • Technical Interview with our team members

  • People & Culture Screening
