A standout opportunity has arisen to join a national VAT advisory team with a top 15 UK accountancy firm that's proudly independent, people-first, and rooted in long-term relationships.

If you're an experienced VAT professional who enjoys working across sectors, wants to deliver real commercial outcomes, and thrives in a collaborative and supportive environment, this could be the ideal next step.

With growing demand from a diverse portfolio of clients - from OMBs and private clients to large corporates and charities - you'll have the chance to shape and deliver VAT advisory projects that genuinely make an impact.

• Provide high-quality VAT advisory services to a wide client base, including complex supply chain issues, liability queries, and dispute resolution.
• Lead client conversations both face-to-face and virtually, with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and practical outcomes.
• Play an active role in growing the VAT practice - through business development, sector collaboration, and contributing to national working groups.
• Review and sign off complex VAT returns, while supporting internal teams with technical VAT input.

Why join this firm?

• Top 15 Firm , fully independent and proud to be people-first.
• National VAT team with no technical silos - offering broad exposure and the chance to develop sector specialisms.
• Hybrid working policy - with up to 3 days per week from home and a focus on output.
• Culture of development and inclusion - where individual excellence is valued and team success is celebrated.
• Access to international insight - through the firm's global network, enhancing your technical and career development.
• Excellent benefits package - Profit-sharing eligibility, discretionary bonus scheme, contributory pension, 25 days holiday, life assurance, flexible family policies, and a hybrid 35-hour working week (core hours 10-4).

What you'll need to succeed:

• Strong experience in UK VAT advisory, ideally across sectors, with a sound understanding of cross-border VAT principles.
• Technical interest in land and property VAT would be especially valuable.
• Confident, commercial, and client-facing, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly to non-specialists.
• A positive, proactive approach to business development and relationship building.
