Tax Assistant / Manager

Our client is looking to fulfil a new role within their growing tax department.

• Assisting with the preparation of Self-Assessment Tax Returns for a portfolio of clients

Requirements

• Experience in working in mixed UK taxation (private client and corporate clients) is preferred, but candidates with a private client bias who are willing to develop corporate tax experience will be considered
• Tax advisory experience is desirable but not essential as training can be provided in this area
• It is experience that is important, so although CTA qualified candidates will be preferred, candidates with other tax or accounting qualification, as well as those qualified by experience, will be considered
• Must be willing (and able) to undertake detailed technical research, work to deadlines and get involved in wide ranging issues
• Experience in US tax is desirable but not essential

What’s on offer?

• The opportunity to progress your career in taxation at this supportive and friendly firm
