Tax Technology and Transformation offers services to companies in response to the continually expanding data processing, management, and analytics burden needed to support their tax compliance, reporting, and planning obligations.  We help our clients optimize their leverage of existing and emerging technology to:

The underlying objective of the combined offerings is to help businesses navigate the digital age of tax transparency alongside new trends in tax compliance and tax audit methods, as well as helping resolve the most pressing challenges that businesses face.

Tax Technology and Transformation comprises the following services

• Digital tax transformation
• SAP tax integration; S/4HANA experience a plus (core financials plus related ecosystem applications such as SAP Analytics Cloud (“SAC”), SAP Profitability and Performance Management (“PaPM”), SAP Document Reporting and Compliance (“DRC”), etc.)
• Direct and indirect tax systems implementation and configuration (e.g. ONESOURCE Tax Provision, Corptax, ONESOURCE Determination, Vertex)
• Tax applications as a service
• Tax data and improvement
• Tax analytics and reporting enhancements
• Emerging tax technology, including robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud solutions, data lake development and business intelligence innovation
• Tax technology program mobilization
• Custom tax technology application development and deployment
• Tax technology strategy and road map development
• Post-transaction (M&A) tax function operational services
• Tax operating model transformation, including process improvement, risk, governance and controls
• Tax function assessments

The opportunity
Finance and tax transformation, in conjunction with re-platforming of ERP in SAP’s next generation S/4HANA landscape, make up one of the biggest opportunities for our clients to improve and ‘future proof’ the tax function, and represent an area that has seen significant growth and investment – which you will see reflected in your career. It is no exaggeration to say that you will be working on highly publicized projects. This is your opportunity to operate at the dynamic intersection of major technological and tax/regulatory change .

Your key responsibilities
You will be working on the entire delivery lifecycle of large finance and tax transformation programs (and supporting the associated sales/pursuit process for new engagements).  You will help our clients leverage SAP technology and related third-party applications to realize enterprise value by improving their tax function (supporting and automating internal and external operations).

Skills and attributes for success
We maintain our reputation as trusted advisors through continual learning, embracing change, and a willingness to take on complex challenges. To be successful you will be highly curious and have a strong sense of pride in the quality of your work.

The ideal candidate will also:

• Demonstrate an understanding of how ERP transformation programs are delivered using agile methodology, and what tax input is relevant at each phase
• Understand key tax processes and be able to translate related data/reporting needs into ERP system requirements/user stories
• Be experienced in working collaboratively on a cross-functional basis across tax, finance, and supply chain (from industry roles) or across tax and advisory (from consulting roles)
• Have a history of contributing to the development of thought leadership
• Have a proven track record in delivering high quality work in alignment with key business metrics

To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor's degree in Information Systems or a master's degree in Accounting, Tax Technology, Management Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field
• A minimum of three years of related experience
• Approved technical certification, CPA license or membership to state Bar or progress to attaining those mentioned
• A strong interest in technology and its use in business processes
• Excellent communication and business writing skills
• A natural flair for problem solving and an entrepreneurial approach to work
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with exceptional client-serving business skills
• A demonstrated ability to successfully contribute to the sale and delivery large enterprise programs
• A broad understanding of tax accounting and major tax processes
• Willingness to travel as needed, and working in a balanced hybrid environment

Ideally, you'll also have

• Familiarity with third-party direct or indirect tax systems (such as ONESOURCE, Corptax, Vertex, etc.)
• Experience defining data and reporting needs for a tax department
• Enterprise resource planning (ERP) experience, including SAP or Oracle
• Experience managing large, multidisciplinary projects that impact tax (e.g., ERP implementations, tax co-sourcing engagements, finance transformations)

What we look for
We are looking for technical professionals with an excellent general knowledge of both international and domestic tax. You will need excellent business acumen and a firm strategic vision, so if you are ready to use those skills to develop our team, this role is for you.

Under our flexible vacation policy, you’ll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You’ll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
