Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, Law, or a related field is required.
  • Professional certifications such as CPA, CA, ACCA, CTA, or similar credentials are preferred.
  • At least 15 years of relevant tax experience, gained in financial institutions, professional services, or a mix of both.
  • Prior exposure to advising regional businesses across Asia is highly desirable.
  • Strong technical knowledge of international tax, transfer pricing, cross-border structuring, M&A, and strategic tax advisory within financial services.
