Audit & finance specialist

Accounting & Taxation

Driving intelligent tax strategies and flawless compliance as a 'forward-deployed solver' (fds) by architecting a resilient tax framework and ensuring every decision aligns with business outcomes.

What are we looking for

real solver?

Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.

Improver. Solver. Futurist. Great sense of humor. ‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset. Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator. Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better. Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.

This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way—and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.

Your Mission : The Role

solving for better.

You are a proactive, indispensable partner to Searce's leadership, deeply embedded in our financial and operational strategy. This isn't just about filing returns or managing audits; it’s about being a 'Tax Strategist' who preempts risks, optimizes tax structures, and acts as a force multiplier for Searce's financial health and growth.

You'll be a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for orchestrating all direct tax activities for the India region. You will ensure meticulous compliance, manage complex litigations, and serve as a critical advisor, enabling Searce to navigate the intricate tax landscape with confidence and efficiency.

Let’s be clear : this role demands more than just functional knowledge. It requires a keen business acumen, an analytical mindset to identify opportunities, and the proactive drive to implement value-generating tax strategies. You'll solve challenges before they arise, operate with a "process-first" mindset, and contribute directly to our ability to "solve differently" for our clients and our organization.

If you’re a meticulously organized, analytical professional with a strategic brain, an unwavering commitment to compliance, and the ability to amplify financial impact — you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

You're not just a taxation expert; you're a 'Compliance Architect.'
