  • Liaise directly with HMRC during routine inspections and audits
  • Contribute to the technical strength of the VAT team by keeping up to date with legislative developments, sharing knowledge through publications, seminars and client training, and supporting the wider firm with VAT insight
  • Play an active role in business development, identifying new advisory opportunities, managing VAT-only clients, collaborating with colleagues across the firm, spotting cross-selling opportunities, preparing project quotes, and building strong relationships with clients and their professional advisors.

Requirements:

  • ATT or AAT qualified as a minimum or qualified by experience
  • Comfortable providing advice on complex issues to people who do not have the same level of knowledge or understanding of VAT
  • Strong technical skills within VAT and compliance, with high attention to detail demonstrated
  • Proven experience to a broad range of UK taxes including VAT

What we offer:
  • 25 days holiday, with the option to purchase additional days
  • Working in a relaxed, friendly, modern environment
