inDrive's Global Tax Team is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Specialist to lead direct income tax compliance and US GAAP tax reporting from India. You will work closely with the US-based Senior Tax Compliance & Reporting Manager to own the data, calculations, and documentation behind the group's quarterly and annual income tax provision under ASC 740, and support the corporate income tax compliance cycle for legal entities worldwide.
This is a hands-on, detail-driven role at the centre of the group's tax reporting cycle. You will work across a large multinational footprint, coordinate with external preparers and local finance teams in multiple regions, and help build a reporting process that is accurate, auditable, and increasingly automated.
Key responsibilities include:
• Prepare quarterly and annual income tax provisions for group legal entities under US GAAP (ASC 740), including current and deferred tax, deferred tax proofs, effective tax rate reconciliation, valuation allowance assessments, and return-to-provision true-ups.
• Support identification, measurement, and documentation of uncertain tax positions (ASC 740-10 / FIN 48), including roll-forwards and supporting memoranda.
• Coordinate end-to-end corporate income tax compliance cycles across entities — data gathering, validation against the general ledger, instructing and managing external preparers, technical review of draft returns, book-to-tax reconciliations, and approval of advance/estimated tax payments.
• Support Indian direct tax obligations for the local entity, including corporate income tax returns, TDS/withholding compliance, tax audit requirements, and related filings.
• Reconcile current and deferred income tax accounts, maintain tax payable and tax receivable schedules, and track withholding tax credits and foreign tax credits across jurisdictions.
• Prepare inputs for income tax disclosures and supporting schedules; support data collection for Pillar Two / GloBE and country-by-country reporting.
• Support statutory auditors and local tax authority reviews by preparing documentation, reconciling positions, and drafting responses. Maintain evidence of tax process controls in line with SOX readiness requirements.
• Track direct tax law changes in key jurisdictions and assess their impact on the provision, effective tax rate, and compliance obligations.
• Maintain the global direct tax compliance calendar and provision timetable, and drive adherence to close deadlines.
• Identify and implement improvements to tax data collection, provision workpapers, and reporting — reducing manual re-keying, strengthening data integrity, and shortening the close cycle.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Economics, or a related field.
• Chartered Accountant (CA) qualification, or CPA / Master's in Taxation or equivalent (strongly preferred).
• 6+ years of direct tax experience in an international company or Big 4 / large consulting firm, with substantial focus on income tax accounting and corporate income tax compliance.
• Demonstrable hands-on experience preparing income tax provisions under ASC 740 — current and deferred tax, effective tax rate reconciliation, valuation allowances, return-to-provision, and uncertain tax positions. Multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction provision experience is a strong advantage.
• Proven track record managing corporate income tax compliance cycles, including reviewing returns and workpapers prepared by external firms and reconciling them to financial statements.
• Working knowledge of Indian direct tax — corporate income tax, TDS, tax audit, and related filing requirements.
• Familiarity with the modern international tax landscape — BEPS, Pillar Two / global minimum tax, withholding taxes, double tax treaties, and transfer pricing documentation requirements.
• Hands-on experience with ERP systems (NetSuite, Workday, or comparable) and strong Excel/Google Sheets skills. Experience with tax provision software (e.g., ONESOURCE Tax Provision, Longview) or data tools (Alteryx, Power BI) is highly desirable.
• Exposure to SOX or comparable internal control environments, and comfort documenting and evidencing tax process controls.
• Strong analytical and project management skills, high attention to detail, and ability to work to a fixed close calendar across time zones.
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Advanced command of English, written and spoken.
