• Own the annual LLP tax computation and SA800, maintaining clear documentation of technical positions and change‑control.
• Leadership of the Partnership Tax Group, chairing meetings (currently quarterly) and monitoring the follow‑up of actions.
• Managing the Partnership Tax Team.
• Prepare/review UK corporate tax computations and CT600s for UK entities; manage QIPs and coordinate SAO touchpoints with Finance.
• Oversee SDES bulk submissions and ensure HMRC portal alignment with internal schedules; liaise with Partner Finance on reconciliations.
• Embed mandated workflow/quality controls and enquiry readiness; drive first‑time‑right and manage ageing items within tolerance.
• Partner with Finance, Payroll/Global Mobility, VAT and other specialists; provide concise monthly status to the Partnership Tax Director.

What We Are Looking For

• Evidence of ongoing CPD and familiarity with firmwide quality/controls frameworks.
• Proven UK tax compliance experience across partnerships (LLP/SA800) and/or corporates (CT600/QIPs), ideally within professional services or complex multi‑entity environments.
