Tax Compliance Manager

Join Taptapsend as a Tax Compliance Manager in London, leading global tax compliance in a fast-scaling fintech company.

• Own Global Tax Compliance: Manage end-to-end tax filings across all group entities, coordinating with external advisors to ensure accurate, timely returns in every jurisdiction.
• Manage Outsourced Providers: Own the relationship with third-party compliance providers — setting scopes, reviewing deliverables, and holding quality standards across regions.
• Lead Tax Reporting: Support the preparation of tax provisions, deferred tax calculations, and disclosures for statutory accounts and group reporting (IFRS and/or US GAAP).
• Support New Market Launches: Ensure tax compliance requirements are embedded from day one whenever the business enters a new market or launches a new product.
• Contribute to Tax Projects: Work alongside the wider tax team on transfer pricing documentation, group restructurings, and assessments of legislative change.
• Build Better Processes: Develop and improve internal tax controls, reporting, and processes as the function matures and the entity structure grows.
• Stay Ahead of Tax Developments: Monitor changes in key jurisdictions and feed these into the team's wider planning.
• Liaise with Auditors & Tax Authorities: Act as a key point of contact for external auditors, tax authorities, and advisors on compliance queries, audits, and ad-hoc filings.
• Monitor Effective Tax Rates: Prepare and maintain current and deferred tax reconciliations, tracking effective tax rates across the group.

• Qualified CPA, or equivalent professional qualification.
• At least 5 years of relevant tax experience, whether in practice (Big 4 or mid-tier) or a combination of practice and in-house.
• Strong grounding in corporate tax compliance and reporting, with exposure to international or multi-jurisdictional work.
• Comfortable managing external advisors and reviewing outsourced deliverables to a high standard.
• Solid understanding of tax accounting and provisioning under US GAAP and/or IFRS — both is a plus; one is required.
• Experience with transfer pricing compliance or documentation is a plus, but not essential.
• Experience in fintech, payments, or a high-growth startup environment is a plus.
• Ownership mindset — you take responsibility, follow through, and move things forward without heavy oversight.
• Communication — you explain tax matters clearly to non-specialists and know how to land a complex point simply.
• Comfort with ambiguity — you make practical recommendations even when the answer isn't clear-cut.
• Curiosity — you have a genuine interest in how tax supports a fast-growing, international business.
• Collaborative — you work well across teams and build relationships easily.
