• Assist with external and internal audits, due diligence, tax reviews and ad hoc advisory assignments linked to compliance and accounting engagements.
• Use digital tools to improve standardization, data quality, controls, and efficiency while complying with PwC quality and risk management requirements.

• Practical knowledge of Azerbaijan tax legislation and statutory reporting requirements, with the ability to research and apply changes accurately.   
• Solid grounding in bookkeeping, double-entry accounting, financial statements and IFRS; experience preparing or reviewing tax-to-account reconciliations is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with accounting or ERP systems. Knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Navision, SAP, Oracle, 1C or similar systems is an advantage.

Why join us

• Work on a varied portfolio that combines tax compliance, accounting, technology and client-facing problem solving.
