International corporate tax and IFRS reporting professional improving cross-border compliance and accuracy.
What I'm looking for
I’m an international corporate tax and reporting professional with 10+ years of experience across multinational organisations and Big 4 consulting environments.

In my current role as a Corporate Tax Accountant, I manage corporate tax compliance across 4 international jurisdictions, prepare deferred tax calculations and IFRS reporting documentation, and coordinate monthly tax close activities to ensure 100% timely reporting and submission deadlines. I also review supplier invoices to assess withholding tax exposure and prepare technical tax documentation to support tax positions, incentives, and international compliance requirements.
Previously at PwC Colombia as a Senior Tax Consultant, I delivered corporate tax compliance and regulatory filings for multinational clients across Oil & Gas, Energy, and Tourism, including tax reconciliations, income tax returns, foreign asset reporting, and support for audits and enquiries. I bring a process-improvement mindset, strong stakeholder management, and bilingual technical communication in English and Spanish to help clients navigate complex, evolving tax legislation with confidence.
