  • Deliver project P&Ls, variance analysis, and management reporting while partnering with Mars Global Services (MGS) and Controllership teams on reconciliations, complex General Ledger (GL) activity, and intercompany transactions.

Compliance, Controls & Commercial Tax

  • Manage corporate tax reporting for the TCE entity, including state and local sales tax compliance across emerging Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channels.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
