Tax Analyst en IPC Systems

Overview of the Team  

The Americas Tax team is a small, dynamic high-impact group within Finance that supports tax compliance, accounting, and advisory across the U.S. and Canada. We partner closely with Accounting, FP&A, Order-to-Cash, Billing/ERP, and Legal—plus external advisors—to enable reliable reporting, resilient controls, and tax-smart decisions for IPC’s recurring-revenue (SaaS) business. 
 

Role Overview: 

You’ll be a hands-on analyst who owns day-to-day tax operations for the U.S. and Canada, using ERP/Billing data to drive accurate, on-time filings and clean reconciliations. You’ll partner closely with Accounting, FP&A, Billing/ERP, Treasury, and external advisors to link tax insights to revenue, pricing, and compliance in our recurring-revenue (SaaS) model. You’ll anticipate issues, work independently to keep deliverables moving, and align tax operations with IPC’s growth and expansion plans. As priorities shift, you’ll propose pragmatic process changes and automation, communicate clearly across teams, and maintain SOX-compliant documentation and audit trails that stand up to scrutiny. 

 Key Responsibilities: 

• Tax Compliance Support 

• Pull, validate, and structure data from ERP/Billing to support federal, state/provincial, and local returns (income/franchise, sales/use, VAT/GST, excise, withholding, and telecom regulatory). 

• Coordinate calendars with external firms; track status; ensure timely, accurate submissions. 

• Flag risks/opportunities from legislative and rate changes that impact our SaaS offerings. 

• Payments & Cash Control 

• Prepare check requests and support electronic/manual disbursements with Treasury/AP. 

• Maintain payment logs and reconcile confirmations to liability accounts with urgency and accuracy. 

• Tax Accounting & Reporting (US GAAP/IFRS) 

• Assist with monthly tax account reconciliations and journal entries. 

• Support preparation of annual tax provisions (ASC 740/IAS 12) and related financial statement disclosures. 

• Maintain documentation to support uncertain tax positions and deferred tax balances using data analysis to enhance quality and reduce adjustments. 

• Indirect & Fintech Regulatory Operations 

• Compile data for periodic indirect tax and telecom regulatory reports. 

• Support Billing/Sales Ops on taxability for subscriptions, connectivity, and managed services—including exemption and customer documentation. 

• Translate tax findings into practical guidance that protects margin and customer experience. Support business units in interpreting billing, taxability, and customer compliance requirements.  

• Transfer Pricing & International Support 

• Gather intercompany data, help maintain TP documentation, and support true-ups. 

• Collaborate with global tax colleagues on cross-border issues impacting the Americas region. 

• Tax Research & Advisory 

• Research issues affecting SaaS/fintech/telecom (nexus, sourcing, digital services, regulatory fees). 

• Provide clear, action-oriented guidance to Finance, Sales Ops, and Legal on contracts, new products, and commercial initiatives to support growth while managing risk.  

• Process Improvement & Controls (SOX) 

• Document and improve tax processes, data flows, and controls; help implement automation where possible (e.g., ERP/Billing extracts, tax engine workflows, analytics). 

• Maintain auditable workpapers and evidence of review/approval. 

How You Will Make an Impact:  

• On-time, accurate filings and payments; clean reconciliations with minimal aged items. 

• Well-supported tax provision inputs and disclosures with few audit adjustments. 

• Documented process improvements (cycle time reductions, automation, or data quality gains). 

• Positive feedback from Accounting, Billing, and external advisors; proactive communication on risks and timelines. 

• SOX control adherence; timely remediation of issues identified in audits or walkthroughs. 

 Essential Skills and Experience to be Successful in this Role: 

•  Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or related field (or equivalent experience). 

• 1–3 years of relevant corporate tax or public accounting/tax experience. 

• Strong knowledge of U.S. federal and state tax rules 

• Familiarity with indirect and telecom-specific taxes desirable. 

• Strong Excel/data skills and comfort with large data sets from ERP/Billing platforms. 

• Detail orientation, sense of urgency, and commitment to high-quality work within deadlines. 

• Clear written and verbal communication; ability to collaborate across Finance and with external advisors. 

 Desired Skills and Experience: 

• Exposure to SaaS/fintech/telecom/technology industries, including subscription billing and connectivity services. 

• Experience supporting ASC 740 tax provisions and performing tax account reconciliations. 

• Transfer pricing support, including documentation and intercompany true-ups. 

• End-to-end view of the tax cycle—from data sourcing and compliance filing through reconciliations, planning, audit, and issue resolution. 

• Continuous improvement mindset; ability to design and implement process/controls enhancements and leverage automation/analytics tools (e.g., Power Query/Power BI, Alteryx). 

• Ability to understand complex tax concepts, apply them to minimize taxes, and translate them into practical guidance for non-tax stakeholders. 

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across Finance and business partners. 

• Deadline discipline and sense of urgency; able to influence and motivate others to meet deliverables. 

• Solid business judgment with creative problem-solving.
