  • Ability to provide Corporation Tax Compliance and Advisory services to a wide range of clients using resource from a shared service team or via technology tools.

  • An active interest in developing the team, both technically and commercially, through effective delegation and acting as a role model.

  • An understanding of potential risks to the Firm in relation to the Firm’s quality control procedures.

  • Experience of leading complex projects and dealing with complex tax issues.

  • Educated to degree level and/or CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent.

You’ll also be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business.  We’re committed to agile working, and we offer everyone the opportunity to work in ways that suit them, their teams, and the task in hand.
