Job Description:

About the role:
We have won a number of larger corporate audits over the last two years, including Plcs, private equity, inbounds and large privately owned business. This has significantly increased the need for us to recruit a tax accounting specialist, ideally at Senior Manager or Director level. The right candidate will work alongside both Audit and Tax Partners to run the Audit of Tax on our largest clients.

We are disproportionately investing in this area of the business at the moment, particularly with the current churn in the audit market, so there is lots of room for growth in the role.

Key tasks and responsibilities:
This role allows the right candidate the opportunity to develop and play a key part in leading our tax accounting offering to our large corporate clients.

They will have significant experience in tax audit assignments, both for listed and privately owned large businesses, covering UK GAAP and IFRS (US GAAP would also be worthwhile). The right person can expect to spend the majority of their working time working closely with the Audit and Tax teams to deliver Audit of Tax, tax accounting and tax reporting (both interim and final). We are also receiving a large number of audit tenders, so there would also be scope to work on new opportunities, including inputting into proposals.

There would be scope for the person to deliver other Corporate tax work (compliance, advisory, etc) depending on experience, but the key role would be to support audit teams on the firm’s corporate audit clients.

The candidate will get full exposure to client-facing communication and working on projects all the way from initial engagement through to delivery and implementation. The candidate would also be expected to play an important role in the development of their peers and more junior colleagues on a day-to-day basis, both technically and professionally.

The candidate would be expected to manage and/or lead the delivery of tax accounting to the partner for approval, depending on the level at which they come in at. This consists of a good balance between working with more junior resources in the team and reviewing their output, and also being responsible for the preparation and delivery direct to the partners.

Skills and expertise:
- ACA/ACCA and/or CTA qualified
- Significant experience in IFRS and UK GAAP tax accounting
- US GAAP tax accounting experience preferred but not essential
- Extensive post qualification experience
- Advanced Excel and Word skills
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- A good team player
- Experience of mentoring and developing more junior team members
- Enthusiastic and willing to learn
- Organised and motivated
- A driven person who will take ownership of tasks and drive to completion
- Ability to prioritise work
- Ability to deliver work to an agreed timescale and budget
- Ability to generate creative ideas both for technical work and business development purposes
- Ability to build personal rapport with clients and to win their trust
