The role is suitable for someone who enjoys hands-on tax work, is familiar with IRAS requirements, and can work independently with our accounting, corporate secretarial and client service teams.

This is not intended to be a purely theoretical tax advisory role. We are looking for someone who can help ensure client tax matters are handled accurately, practically and on time.

• Assist clients with IRAS queries, notices of assessment, objections, audit requests and tax clearance matters where applicable.

• Support tax filing and compliance matters for Singapore companies, investment holding companies, fund structures, family office structures and SME clients.

• Identify practical tax risks, uncertain tax positions and documentation gaps, and recommend appropriate follow-up actions.

• Support basic transfer pricing considerations for related-party transactions, including documentation coordination where required.

• Assist with tax incentive, cross-border, withholding tax and structuring discussions where relevant.

• Work with internal accounting, corporate secretarial and compliance teams to ensure tax matters are properly coordinated.

• Provide internal guidance or training to junior team members on tax filing processes, tax treatment and documentation standards.

Requirements

• Degree or diploma in Accounting, Finance, Taxation or a related discipline.

• Professional qualification such as CA, CPA, ACCA, SCTP or equivalent is preferred.

• At least 4 to 8 years of relevant Singapore corporate tax experience.

• Experience in a tax firm, accounting firm, corporate services firm, fund administrator or in-house tax role will be considered.

• Strong working knowledge of Singapore corporate income tax requirements and IRAS filing processes.

• GST experience would be an advantage.

• Exposure to SMEs, investment holding companies, fund structures, family offices or cross-border structures would be useful.

• Able to review accounts and identify tax issues independently.

• Meticulous, responsible and able to manage filing deadlines.

• Strong written and spoken English.

• Able to communicate tax matters clearly and practically to both internal teams and clients.

• Comfortable working in a growing professional services environment.

Suitable Candidate Profile

This role may suit:

• A tax manager or senior tax executive looking for flexible work arrangements.

• An experienced tax professional who prefers part-time or project-based work.

• A former Big 4 / mid-tier / accounting firm tax professional seeking a more flexible client-facing role.

• A tax practitioner who enjoys hands-on compliance work with some advisory exposure.

Working Arrangement

• Full-time, part-time, freelance or flexible arrangement can be discussed.

• Remote working is possible, with occasional meetings at our Singapore office or client meetings where required.

• Working hours and scope can be tailored based on experience and availability.

• Remuneration will be commensurate with experience and agreed working arrangement.
