Job description

Overview

VAT Manager – Top10, 15 & 20 | Midlands | Hybrid + Advisory-Focused

If you’re a VAT specialist who’s ready for more advisory exposure, better balance, and a clear path forward - this is your moment.

We’re currently working on multiple VAT Manager roles across leading national firms in the Midlands. These aren’t compliance-heavy, box-ticking positions. They sit within national VAT advisory teams that handle everything from complex investigations to international structuring and sector-specific technical projects. Whether you’re ready to step up, move away from pure compliance, or just want a culture that gives back as much as it asks - we have options worth a conversation.

Why these roles stand out:

• Hybrid working & genuine WLB (not just lip service)
• Progression opportunities into Senior Manager and beyond
• Exposure to national-level clients and technical projects
• Supportive teams who value clarity, commercial thinking, and curiosity
• In a Big 4/Top 50 firm and ready for more visibility
• A VAT Senior/AM looking to step up with mentorship
• Seeking more technical challenge, project variety, or client contact

What you’ll need:

• CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent experience in UK VAT
• A commercial mindset with strong communication skills
• Comfort managing clients and reviewing junior team members

Whether you’re actively looking or just open to hearing what’s out there, this is a great time to explore. Drop a message if you’d like to chat through the roles, the firms, and what might suit you best - no CV needed upfront.
