SENIOR TAX ACCOUNTANT @ PGN CAREER SOLUTIONS
Our client, a prominent player in the Manufacturing and FMCG sectors, is looking for a sharp and detail-oriented Senior Tax Accountant to join their finance team in Dar es Salaam. This role is specifically designed for a professional who takes full control of tax-related matters rather than just managing them. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring comprehensive compliance with VAT, PAYE, and corporate tax regulations, while also spearheading financial reporting and reconciliations within a fast-paced environment.
Beyond basic compliance, the Senior Tax Accountant will play a vital role in managing internal and external audits and liaising directly with tax authorities and auditors. You will be responsible for maintaining robust compliance records, implementing internal controls, and providing critical support during month-end and year-end closing processes. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated Tanzanian professional with a strong background in statutory compliance and SAP to advance their career in a structured and demanding industry setting.
