Our client is a highly regarded financial services business; the Group seeks a qualified Tax Accountant or Junior Manager (ideally with some FS experience). This position has scope for promotion and would suit someone looking to develop their career in industry.
Candidates from both direct and indirect tax backgrounds will be considered as the role will combine a mixture of taxes (corporate, VAT, and operational taxes). Support will be available to help you broaden your tax knowledge into areas that you may not have previously covered. Key responsibilities include:
• Corporation tax compliance work in particular reviewing the group tax computations and returns and managing their submission to HMRC.
• Working with managers on project initiations and projects to ensure that tax risks are identified and raised at the appropriate level.
• Undertaking tax planning for corporation tax and VAT.
• The management of the Group’s partial exemption method.
• Influencing senior management in strategic business decisions in regards to tax.
• Reviewing and signing off the quarterly VAT returns.
• Getting involved in basic Operational Tax issues (including returns).
• Liaising with HMRC and the overseas revenue authorities.
• Liaising with external advisors.
This role would suit someone who is qualified (ICAS, ACA, CTA or AIIT) and who has either a direct or indirect tax background. It is likely that you will either be working in a large accountancy firm or in industry but you will need experience of dealing with large groups. Financial services sector experience would be advantageous.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is looking for a career in-house where they can broaden their tax experience. You will need strong communication skills and the ability to be adaptable.
