Description

The world of global advisory, audit and tax compliance for large multinationals is rapidly evolving and increasingly technology driven. The KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) is a KPMG special purpose member firm that enables clients to access KPMG's top talent and technology platforms through regional teams of specialists, enabling economies of scale and a smarter way of working that extends beyond local capability.

Kuala Lumpur hosts KDN's ASPAC Compliance Delivery Centre (ACDC), a culturally diverse team spanning many nationalities, backgrounds and skills. ACDC delivers end-to-end compliance support, powered by advanced technology, automation, robust processes and a highly skilled, client-centric team.

This role is focused on supporting corporate tax compliance delivery across South Asia and MENA markets. The successful candidate will bring hands-on experience supporting corporate income tax compliance obligations across multiple jurisdictions, with a strong understanding of country-specific filing requirements, data reconciliation, compliance processes and cross-border stakeholder management.

Join us and expand your regional compliance expertise while being coached and trained by leading professionals across the firm.
