• Providing support during internal and external audits; liaising with tax specialists;
• Assisting in process improvement and systems enhancement to drive initiatives that help scale the organization.
• Ensure the right tax coding is applied for the processing of invoices.

Who you are

• Minimum of 3 years hands on experience in tax and/or general ledger accounting;
• Varying experience in Regional tax accounting;
• Experience with Workday financial systems is a plus;
• You have experience working with multiple stakeholders/teams;
• You are detail-oriented, with an analytical and automation mindset
• Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously; ability to prioritise
• Proactive in projects you take on, able to work independently but never afraid to ask for help;
• You gain energy from transforming processes and making impact;
• You possess strong communication skills, enabling you to liaise confidently with internal and external stakeholders.
• We are looking for someone that can question the status quo, thinking critically and creatively to implement solutions to scale during Adyen’s rapid growth.
