In my role as Senior Indirect Tax Automation Analyst, I lead the development and implementation of advanced tax automation strategies across Vitol’s Americas operations. By leveraging my expertise in Python, VBA, and Alteryx, I have successfully automated complex tax processes, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in tax reporting and compliance. I spearheaded the integration of Python scripts and Alteryx workflows to automate data extraction, transformation, and reporting, which reduced manual processing time by over 60%. Additionally, I designed and implemented a scalable tax compliance system that streamlines the preparation of motor fuel, excise, and sales/use tax returns, ensuring timely and accurate filings across multiple jurisdictions. Collaborating closely with other departments and cross-functional teams, I enhanced data integrity and reporting accuracy, contributing to more informed decision-making at the executive level. I also take pride in mentoring and training team members on best practices in tax automation, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation within the tax department.

As a Senior Indirect Tax Analyst, my primary focus was on indirect tax compliance for Vitol’s operations in the USA and Canada. I was responsible for the preparation and filing of motor fuel, excise, and sales/use tax returns, ensuring that all filings were completed accurately and on time across multiple jurisdictions. My role involved conducting detailed reviews of tax data to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, as well as identifying potential tax savings and refund opportunities. I coordinated with internal teams to gather necessary information, reconcile tax accounts, and address any discrepancies or audit inquiries that arose. In addition, I played a key role in maintaining up-to-date knowledge of changing tax laws and regulations, ensuring that Vitol remained compliant in a dynamic regulatory environment. My attention to detail and thorough understanding of indirect tax laws enabled me to handle complex compliance tasks efficiently, contributing to the company’s overall tax strategy.

During my tenure at Deloitte Tax, I delved deeply into research, consulting, and compliance across federal, state, and local excise tax domains. My areas of expertise spanned state and federal fuel tax compliance, and I adeptly managed tax controversies, handling audit defenses and resolving assessments. Beyond the fuel-centric scope, I provided insightful consultations on state and federal non-fuel excise taxes and oversaw business license registrations. Additionally, I was actively involved in leadership programs and took a proactive role in diversity and inclusion initiatives. This multifaceted approach not only underscored my dedication to the intricacies of excise tax but also to fostering an inclusive and progressive work environment.
