London | Hybrid Working | £95,000 + Excellent Benefits

An opportunity to shape, lead and grow a VAT advisory offering.

Are you an ambitious VAT specialist looking for a role where you can combine high-level technical advisory work with business development and practice growth?

We are working with a highly regarded, multi-office accountancy practice seeking an experienced VAT Senior Manager to take a leading role in developing and expanding its VAT advisory offering. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with clients, delivering commercially focused solutions and building a successful advisory service with the support of an established tax team.

The Opportunity

You will take ownership of a varied portfolio of VAT advisory assignments, working with businesses across a broad range of sectors and dealing with complex UK and international VAT issues.

The role offers considerable autonomy and the opportunity to become a key figure in the firm's indirect tax offering, developing relationships across four offices and working alongside partners and colleagues in Corporate Tax, Audit and Corporate Finance to identify and deliver new advisory opportunities.

Your work will include:

• Leading complex VAT advisory projects and providing strategic advice to clients.
• Advising on VAT structuring, group arrangements, partial exemption and land and property transactions.
• Supporting corporate transactions, including VAT due diligence, restructuring and transfers of going concerns.
• Providing specialist advice on international VAT, cross-border transactions and supply chain arrangements.
• Identifying VAT efficiencies, recovery opportunities and managing complex VAT risks.
• Advising on HMRC enquiries, voluntary disclosures and technical disputes.
• Developing new client relationships and helping drive the growth of the VAT advisory practice.
• Providing technical leadership, mentoring and support to colleagues.

About You

You'll be an established VAT professional with substantial advisory experience gained within accountancy practice, HMRC or a comparable professional environment.

You'll combine excellent technical knowledge with strong commercial awareness, outstanding client relationship skills and the confidence to lead complex assignments independently. Experience in business development and developing advisory services will be particularly valuable.

• £95,000 salary
• Excellent benefits package
• Hybrid working in London
• Significant autonomy and responsibility
• A genuine opportunity to shape and grow a VAT advisory offering
• Exposure to complex UK and international advisory work
• The backing of an established, multi-office accountancy practice
