Business Advisor jobs in Germany

What stands you apart from the rest? Outstanding communication? Acting with purpose? Thinking outside the box and taking the team and client on the journey with you?

We are looking for a Business Tax Manager to join our awesome tax team, who has a real focus on building on their tax knowledge and experience to help deliver a robust & tax efficient service to help clients meet their wider objectives.

About the day to day…

As our next Business Tax Manager, you will look after a portfolio of clients to deliver both compliance and advisory services whilst providing a “wow!” experience, removing the jargon and ensuring a stellar first-rate service.

You will be the main tax contact for many of your clients, whilst working closely with our senior team on others. You’ll get stuck into a diverse range of tasks and responsibilities, including:

• Manage a portfolio of business tax clients within your relevant specialism, including reviewing tax returns, computations, and tax accounting disclosures.
• Signing out tax returns for more complex clients working independently from the director or partner.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, acting as their main point of contact for all tax matters collaborating to address any tax related queries or concerns.
• Provide expert advice and guidance on a range of business tax issues, including corporate tax planning, restructuring, and compliance.
• Assist with tax investigations and disputes, liaising with HMRC on behalf of clients.
• Work closely with other departments within the firm, building your internal network, such as with audit and advisory to provide a seamless service to clients.
• Identify opportunities to cross-sell services to existing clients and generating new business leads.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of our ways of working within the firm alongside other members of the manager group.
• Spend time with more junior members of the team coaching and supporting with their technical development.

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

As a Business Tax Manager, you will have experience managing a client portfolio within a corporate tax focused role and have a passion for your clients and their business. You will be:

• An awesome advisor with a wider tax mindset, ensuring we provide our clients with the tax support they need.
• A great communicator who excels at building strong and trusting relationships (internally and externally).
• Experience of looking after a variety of clients i.e. large corporate groups / AIM Listed / internationally owned / private equity backed.
• Have a real team spirit, with a focus in developing and coaching the wider team.
• It's important to have a passion for your clients and their business, so you can provide a “wow!” experience. You'll have a knack for removing the jargon to help increase client understanding and ensuring a stellar first-rate service.

We are recruiting for the position across all our hub offices; Derby, Birmingham, London, Reading and Manchester.
