What You Will Get To Do:
As the Australian business continues its transition from start-up phase into a period of significant growth, SS&C has created the Tax Manager role to support the Head of Australian Tax in building and leading a high-performing tax team. This position will play a key role in delivering accurate tax compliance outcomes, conducting technical tax analysis, and supporting tax planning activities to help manage tax risks across SS&C's fund administration business.
Working closely with the Head of Australian Tax, the successful candidate will help drive the team's vision and contribute to establishing the function as one of Australia's leading tax administration service teams.
This role suits a proactive and solutions-focused professional with a strong "can-do" mindset, excellent attention to detail, and strong written and verbal communication skills. The ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and deliver a high standard of client service is essential, as client satisfaction remains a key focus within SS&C. Ideally, you will come from one of the top 10 accounting firms or Big 4.
Demonstrate strong technical expertise in Australian fund and corporate taxation, with exposure to New Zealand tax viewed favourably.
Prepare a broad range of tax compliance deliverables, including distribution calculations, tax provisions, franking credit calculations, AIIR, income tax returns, investor statements, and BAS returns.
Support the Head of Australian Tax in reviewing and overseeing end-to-end client deliverables to ensure accuracy, quality, and timely completion.
Manage client expectations effectively while delivering high-quality outcomes independently in a fast-paced environment.
Act as a subject matter expert across key technical tax areas and provide guidance to internal stakeholders.
Assist in the development and enhancement of tax policies, procedures, and control frameworks to support effective tax risk management.
Identify, drive, and implement process improvement and automation initiatives across tax templates and workflows to improve efficiency and reduce manual processing.
