Our Consultants are responsible for managing a small portfolio of clients and as a candidate, you would ideally have 18 months to 2 years of professional experience with some basic knowledge of corporation tax. If you already have experience of managing a small number of clients then this would be an advantage, but it is not essential.

We are looking for a candidate with a basic understanding of UK corporation tax compliance who is willing to learn and may have already started their relevant professional qualification.

The Consultant role is designed to give you more experience in corporation tax, develop knowledge involving other relevant taxes (e.g. VAT) and to provide you with a platform to learn how to manage a portfolio of clients and build client relationships for the future.

Full study support will be provided to allow you to continue with your professional qualification (ACA, ACA/CTA hybrid or ACCA, paid exams, study leave and paid courses) and you’ll have an experienced mentor to help you continue your personal development.

• Identify opportunities for special work on these clients
• Manage WIP and billing for your portfolio of clients
• Ensure Letter of engagement are up to date for your portfolio
• Progress with exams and all related tasks associated with the qualification (e.g. training ladders, working time requirements)
• Complete accurate timesheets of working time

What we would like from you:

• Ideally, have 18 months to 2 years of professional experience with some basic knowledge of corporation tax
• To be an enthusiastic, smart-working individual with a “can do” attitude
• Client management skills and a willingness to grow in the department
• Good technical ability and some experience of corporation tax
• Good organisation skills and ability to manage your own deadlines
• Ready to take on further responsibility

You can expect from us:

• A competitive salary, company benefits plus full study support to complete your professional qualification
• To be welcomed and be part of a 1300+ strong workforce across 30+ global offices
• A small portfolio of clients including Tech companies, where you will become their key UK tax contact
• Exposure to a range of UK tax compliance including Corporation Tax, VAT, Employment Related Securities and Employer benefits reporting
• Some exposure to a range of special work including transfer pricing, permanent establishment reviews, cross-border working arrangements and tax due diligence
• Opportunity to develop and manage our Tax Assistants who will support you with your client portfolio
