If you are currently working for one of the larger firms and you are seeking a real change in culture this niche specialist firm, based in South Manchester may be the answer. Working closely with the Manager and Partner you will join a tax team currently consisting of around 12 people, and will assist with a portfolio, currently consisting around 150 major corporate clients, on both VAT compliance and advisory projects. The successful candidate is likely to have either come straight from HMRC or alternatively will have experience of working in a VAT role within the profession. The firm has a first class client base and as a result offers the prospect of fantastic technical development. Yet because of the size of the team it retains an informal atmosphere and aims to give staff as many opportunities as possible to interact socially and through other activities e.g. training / staff run team building days. Excellent benefits, including free on-site car parking, are also on offer.
Please note that only those applicants who have a legal right to work in the UK and have an appropriate amount of practical relevant UK tax experience will be considered for this role. Additionally candidates who are already registered with us will be automatically considered for this role.
