About the Role

Our national practice works with large international listed and inbound businesses. You will work primarily on a complementary portfolio of Tax Accounting and Audit of Tax clients, with the opportunity to explore more general advisory projects.

Our Tax Accounting Services (TAS) team works nationally, assisting advisory clients with complex tax account preparation and provisioning amid growing deal activity and heightened regulatory focus. We serve a diverse client base, ranging from FTSE 100 companies and overseas-listed groups to UK mid-tier businesses across various industries. You will have the opportunity to contribute end-to-end, from client proposals through to technical delivery.

Our Audit of Tax Specialists (ATS) team sits at the intersection of tax technical expertise and audit quality. We lead and oversee the delivery of complex audits of tax for some of the UK’s largest and most internationally diverse businesses. There are also opportunities to play to your strengths, be that in shaping best practice, driving technical training, or contributing to the strategic growth of the specialism within the firm.

We seek to attract the best people from a diverse talent pool and encourage a culture where people can be themselves and be valued for their strengths. With colleagues in over 10 offices nationwide, we offer flexibility on location.
