Tax Accounting Specialist, Tax Strategy

Within Money Forward’s accounting headquarters, the tax strategy team acts as a group-wide business partner, going beyond tax-return preparation. It works to optimize consolidated tax costs and inform management decisions, joining M&A, new-business launches and group reorganizations from early scheme planning to assess tax risks and returns. As a first user of the company’s back-office SaaS, the team also gives tax and accounting feedback to product development. The work includes standardizing and accelerating filings, preparing tax-effect materials such as tax-rate-difference analysis alongside disclosure, and advising business units. It also strengthens international tax governance through transfer-pricing documentation and permanent-establishment risk work, while advancing AI-enabled tax operations and group-wide tax literacy. Applicants need around three years or more of tax practice at a company or tax accountant firm, project-driving skills that involve related departments, spreadsheet skills including using functions or features for automation or improvement, and a mindset of continually improving work processes.
