[Hiring] Finance Intern @Arcesium

Role Description

Arcesium seeks an exceptional Tax Intern to join our global Tax function. This role involves supporting the team in building a structured, audit-ready view of tax deliverables, direct tax, indirect tax, and notices/assessments, across countries, while keeping SOPs current and helping formalize the preparer-reviewer control framework. This internship provides an excellent learning opportunity by contributing to real projects and gaining valuable experience in tax operations, process documentation, and using AI tools (Claude) to accelerate tracker-building, SOP drafting, and data organization work.

Responsibilities

• Global Deliverables Tracking
  • Maintain the master global tax deliverables tracker (all filing types, by country)
  • Build and maintain a Direct Tax Tracker: corporate tax filings, advance tax, WHT compliance, provision-support schedules, TP documentation status — by country/entity, with due dates and status
  • Build and maintain an Indirect Tax Tracker: GST/VAT/service tax filings by country/entity, filing frequency, input credit reconciliation status
  • Build and maintain a Tax Notice / Assessment Log: date received, authority, issue summary, response due date, status, owner — for ad-hoc notices and assessments separate from recurring filings
• SOP & Process Support
  • Review existing SOPs for gaps/outdated content; flag for SME input
  • Draft/update SOPs using a standardized template
  • Support the preparer-reviewer sign-off mechanism — logging preparer, reviewer, and sign-off dates before filing
• AI-Enabled Tracker & Documentation Building
  • Use Claude to draft first-cut tracker structures (columns, categorization logic, status taxonomies) from source lists like country filing calendars or existing spreadsheets
  • Use Claude to convert unstructured inputs (emails, notice PDFs, old SOP docs) into structured tracker rows or SOP drafts, which the intern then reviews and validates with the tax team
  • Use Claude to build lightweight dashboards/summary views (e.g., pivot logic, status roll-ups) on top of the trackers

Qualifications

• Pursuing/recently completed a degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, or Taxation
• Basic understanding of corporate tax and indirect tax compliance concepts
• Good written communication for SOP and tracker documentation
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, basic dashboarding)
• Comfort using AI tools (Claude/ChatGPT) for drafting and structuring work — will be trained on internal usage norms
• Detail-oriented, organized, comfortable with structured/repetitive work

Requirements

• The expected monthly base salary for this position is $5,500.
• The applicable annual base salary paid to a successful applicant will be determined based on multiple factors including without limitation the nature and extent of prior experience and educational background.
