Tax Auditor

80 - 100%

Corporate taxation is our passion. We combine business management thinking with tax expertise and work on issues that are rarely simple but all the more exciting. We are communicative, make well-founded decisions and persevere even when it gets challenging. Independent work and mutual support are a matter of course for us. And because not everything is just black or white, we can occasionally "take it easy".

Some of our long-standing colleagues will soon retire. Therefore, we look forward to new tax professionals who will complement our team with their expertise, personality and fresh perspectives.

Your tasks

  • You prepare audits at companies and conduct them independently on site.
  • You audit companies of various sizes and industries – from small to large, from international corporations to kiosks.
  • In doing so, you analyse annual financial statements and clarify tax-relevant matters thoroughly.
  • On this basis, you carry out the assessment of legal entities and individuals.
  • You are in direct contact with taxpayers, trustees and other stakeholders.
  • Depending on the case, you work with colleagues and actively contribute your expertise. At the same time, you benefit from the exchange with experienced employees.

Your profile

  • Ideally, you have a basic business management education and have already gained professional experience in fiduciary, tax, finance or accounting.
  • You work precisely, persevere even with demanding topics and assert yourself. You communicate clearly even in sensitive situations, argue factually and remain steadfast.
  • You are curious, enjoy challenging questions in the field of corporate taxation and like to develop yourself both professionally and personally.
  • You are flexible and willing to regularly attend appointments on site at companies as part of your work.
  • You communicate very well in German, both spoken and written; additional language skills, especially English, are a plus.
