Job description

Ideas | People | Trust

We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Working hard and working together, our Tax team thrives on keeping busy. Friendly, driven and diverse, they service our clients across the country and around the world. By providing expertise in many different specialist areas of tax, they collaborate across BDO to deliver wider business solutions. From meeting clients’ evolving business needs to managing changes to legislation, there are always fresh challenges to face in the Tax team. If you’re after a career that will keep you on your toes, we’ll give you the autonomy to drive your career forward.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

BDO UK LLP is one of the UK’s leading Tax, Accountancy and Business Advisory firms, renowned for our innovative approach and commitment to delivering exceptional client service. Our Tax Automation & Innovation practice is at the forefront of working with cutting-edge solutions to transform how tax functions operate in today’s digital world. The globally led team was established to offer a more holistic approach, helping clients explore the whole of the market to find a better way.

We are seeking a talented, driven Manager or Senior Mana ger to join our Tax Automation & Innovation team. In this pivotal role, you will play a dual part: shaping the future of the award-winning OneStream Enterprise Tax Reporting Solution and leading system implementations for tax technology solutions across our diverse product and client base.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to the ongoing product development of the OneStream enterprise tax reporting solution, ensuring it remains at the forefront of the industry.
• Help define the strategic direction and roadmap for the product, working closely with internal stakeholders and external clients.
• Manage and support the implementation of tax technology systems, including requirements gathering, solution design, and post-implementation support.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including tax, IT, external vendors, external development teams, and project management, to deliver high-quality solutions tailored to client needs.
• Stay abreast of industry trends in tax technology, automation, and regulatory changes to ensure our offerings remain innovative and compliant.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Person Specification

• Professional qualification in tax (e.g., CTA, ACA, ACCA) or equivalent experience.
• Proven experience in a tax-focused role, ideally with exposure to technology-driven projects or tax automation.
• Strong understanding of tax processes and requirements, with the ability to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Solid IT and systems knowledge, ideally including experience with enterprise tax reporting or financial systems (OneStream experience highly desirable, but not essential).
• Excellent project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Effective communicator, comfortable engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels.
• Innovative thinker with a passion for harnessing technology to drive efficiency and value in the tax function.

Why Join BDO?

• Be a key part of an award-winning team pioneering the future of tax technology.
• Work with some of the best minds in the industry and gain exposure to high-profile projects.
