Overview

Ideas | People | Trust

We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today’s changing world. Our clients are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

We're a Corporate International Tax Team working across every industry sector with a diverse and interesting range of clients - from entrepreneurial start-ups to large, global FTSE 100 companies. We are a fast-growing and high-performing team and, for you, it's the chance to get involved in cross border M&A transactions, international tax planning, transfer pricing, UK/US Tax Consulting, and more.

Your potential will grow too, with plenty of opportunities to learn new skills or further enhance your current ones. Along the way, we'll give you all the client-facing exposure, support and international connections you need to take your career in whichever direction you want it to go.

Tax is a dynamic, ever-changing industry. As our clients’ needs and the regulatory environment evolve, you’ll encounter new problems to solve and new opportunities for growth. Whether it’s advising clients on high-profile specialisms like Corporation Tax or leading the implementation of intelligent technology solutions, you’ll enjoy variety as well as stretch in your role.

BDO supports all kinds of different businesses in different sectors across the UK and around the world. You’ll be providing Tax Advisory services to start-ups and scale-ups, to private businesses and FTSE listed multinationals. Each of our clients has different needs and in applying your expertise in different contexts, you’ll develop your skills and gain valuable experience that will serve you throughout your career.

We’ll help you succeed

Our clients 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 clients and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who can work pro-actively, managing your own tasks, but you’ll also be confident collaborating with others, communicating regularly with senior managers, Directors, and BDO’s Partners to enable us to serve our clients effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to our clients.

Role

You will also provide assistance to senior members of staff in both client work and in the management of the group, as appropriate.

Key to the role is for the individual to be able to pro-actively manage their own workload, communicating with senior managers/directors/partners on a regular basis. This is essential due to the size and nature of the team. Furthermore, the individual will be expected to be able to consider and highlight further opportunities to develop new work.

Responsibilities

• Provide Tax compliance and advisory services to a wide range of clients.
• Manage a portfolio of clients including control of billings, and identification of opportunities to improve recoveries, together with cash collection.
• Pays attention to self-development and continuing professional education with a view to progressing within practice.
• Develops professional relationships with clients and within the Firm and adapts the approach for the relevant audience.
• Understands potential risks to the Firm in relation to the Firm’s quality control procedures and raising to the appropriate person.
• Get involved in special assignments on an ad hoc basis.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of and previous experience within transfer pricing tax
• Knowledge of recent key updates and areas of focus in the area of UK transfer pricing tax
• Strong UK Transfer Pricing experience
• Ability to manage a large and varied client portfolio profitably
• Ability to actively seek opportunities for selling new services to existing clients
• Experience of dealing with client senior management and key stakeholders
• Experience of managing staff
• Educated to degree level, and CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent
