Accounting and Tax Specialist

📋 Description

• • Own the end-to-end accounting and tax agenda for a fast-growing SaaS scale-up that is re-defining how the world accesses web data and trains AI models. You will sit at the intersection of finance, technology, and global compliance, ensuring that Apify’s 7,000+ Actors and 100+ countries of operation are supported by rock-solid books and bullet-proof tax processes.
• • Partner directly with the CFO and Financial Controller to modernise every layer of accounting and tax at Apify. From chart-of-accounts design to VAT registrations in new markets, you will be the internal expert who turns complex Czech and international rules into simple, automated workflows.
• • Drive monthly financial closings in collaboration with our external accounting firm, ensuring that every invoice, accrual, and FX adjustment is booked accurately and on time. You will reconcile management reporting to statutory books, surface discrepancies early, and propose system fixes that prevent them from recurring.
• • Automate accounts-payable and month-end routines using the same mindset we apply to web automation: scripts, APIs, and low-code tools that eliminate copy-paste and free your brain for higher-value analysis. Expect to ship at least five measurable improvements in your first six months.
• • Become the single point of contact for all tax matters—corporate income tax, VAT, sales tax, and new digital-services levies—across the Czech parent company and one foreign subsidiary. You will forecast liabilities, prepare returns, and manage external advisors so leadership always knows the cash impact of every expansion decision.
• • Monitor global tax compliance as Apify enters new jurisdictions. You will research nexus rules, register for taxes, and design scalable processes so we never lose sleep over missed deadlines or surprise assessments.
• • Translate technical accounting and tax language into clear insights for non-finance stakeholders. Whether you are presenting to Product, Sales, or the Board, your dashboards and memos will help everyone understand how financial decisions affect runway, pricing, and growth.
• • Contribute to the annual masterplan for accounting and tax, setting KPIs, selecting tools, and defining the hiring roadmap that keeps us two steps ahead of our own hyper-growth trajectory.
• • Live the Apify culture: experiment boldly, document openly, and celebrate wins with epic team-building adventures—canoeing, biking, and lightsaber battles included.
