• Deliver accurate and timely tax reporting and internal schedules.
• Interpret tax legislation and apply it to KCB's transactions and decisions.
• Maintain and update transfer pricing and governance documentation.
• Assist with ATO and other tax authority engagements.
• Manage tax obligations across Australia, PNG, Indonesia, and other jurisdictions.
• Provide advisory support to the business on compliance matters.
• Review and improve tax systems, processes, and controls.
• Prepare working papers for financial statements and ensure timely corporate filings (ASIC and international).

• A degree in Accounting, Commerce, or a related field.
• CPA or CA qualification (or near completion).
