What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a tax role where I can own VAT/CIT compliance, work with transfer pricing documentation, and keep improving efficiency through automation and cross-functional collaboration with IT and finance.

I’m a Tax Specialist based in Moscow, working on VAT and corporate tax compliance across both Russian and international contexts. At Samsung Electronics Rus Company LLC, I handle Value Added Tax (VAT) preparation—reports related to sales books and section 7 of the VAT declaration—plus Corporate Income tax (CIT) monthly closing and quarterly return preparation and submission.

I bring a strong focus on process improvement through automation. I automated the manual preparation of the sales book (VAT) with the IT department, and I also automated the manual preparation process for the transfer pricing (TP) notification, reducing time spent from ~4 months to ~3–4 weeks. I’ve additionally introduced changes in expense accounting for CIT purposes, helping make previously non-deductible expenses deductible with the required documents after management agreement.

Earlier, with KPMG/KEPT, I managed multiple projects simultaneously for both Russian and international companies, supporting tax and accounting work across remote and on-site engagements. I’m driven by accurate reporting, structured documentation, and practical improvements that help teams deliver reliable quarterly and monthly tax work.
