• Sign off completed tax returns as agreed with senior staff.
• Demonstrate a broad understanding of related tax areas (e.g., estate/gift tax, IHT, corporate tax) and identify when to engage internal specialists.
• Provide ongoing coaching, guidance, and performance feedback to junior team members.
• Support the technical, personal, and professional development of allocated staff, managing performance issues with HR guidance when needed.
• Ensure all compliance work meets EY’s high standards, minimising risk and maintaining excellent client service.
• Act as a role model for EY’s values, maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality and professionalism.
• Work collaboratively across teams, providing support to colleagues to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the practice.
