Tax Compliance Manager

For a tax professional who wants real ownership, leadership visibility, and a broader role beyond routine compliance, this is an opportunity to lead tax governance in a mission-driven, high-growth business.

As Tax Compliance and Reporting Manager, you will oversee Philippine tax compliance, BIR regulatory coordination, audit preparedness, reporting, and internal controls in a company that is scaling quickly and building more structure as it grows.

The priority for this role is strong Philippine tax expertise, particularly hands-on experience with BIR audits, Letters of Authority, tax assessments, regulatory documentation, and direct coordination with tax authorities.

Why this role matters

In a high-growth company, tax is not just a compliance function. It plays a critical role in helping the business scale responsibly, sustainably, and with strong governance.

This role will be trusted to guide the company on tax compliance, statutory reporting, audit preparedness, risk management, and tax governance. You will work closely with Finance leadership, Legal, external advisors, auditors, and senior stakeholders to ensure tax matters are handled with technical accuracy, practical judgment, and strong business alignment.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond routine compliance and take a more strategic role in shaping how tax is managed in a mission-driven company entering its next stage of growth.

What you'll do

• Lead Philippine tax compliance and ensure timely, accurate filing of tax returns and statutory requirements
• Manage BIR audits, LOAs, assessments, regulatory inquiries, and supporting documentation
• Act as a key liaison with BIR, auditors, external tax advisors, Legal, and Finance leadership
• Review tax computations, reconciliations, schedules, and supporting documents
• Strengthen tax governance, documentation standards, and internal controls
• Provide practical guidance on tax risks, compliance requirements, and business decisions
• Support tax planning, cash flow forecasting, business expansion, and restructuring discussions
• Lead, mentor, and develop tax and compliance team members
• Build scalable tax compliance processes aligned with business growth and long-term governance standards

What we're looking for

• CPA qualification
• At least 8 years of experience in tax compliance, tax reporting, audit, or advisory
• At least 2 years of managerial or team leadership experience
• Direct experience handling BIR audits, LOAs, assessments, and regulatory coordination
• Strong knowledge of Philippine corporate tax, VAT, withholding taxes, DST, and related compliance requirements
• Experience improving tax controls, documentation, and compliance processes
• Ability to explain complex tax matters clearly to Finance, Legal, and senior stakeholders
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced, and high-growth environment
• Exposure to Singapore, Indonesia, transfer pricing, international tax, or cross-border tax matters is an advantage
• Experience in a startup, scale-up, or high-growth company is a strong plus

What will help you succeed

• You are technically strong, practical, and confident in handling tax matters with both accuracy and business judgment.
• You know how to work with regulators, auditors, advisors, and internal teams. You can explain complex tax matters clearly and recommend solutions that protect the company while supporting business goals.
• You are comfortable taking ownership, improving processes, and building a tax function that can scale with the business.
• You are also energized by a mission-driven, high-growth environment where structure is continuously improving, priorities move quickly, and your work directly supports the company's ability to grow responsibly.
