Identify technical issues and escalate matters where appropriate.
Support corporate tax advisory projects across areas such as restructuring, acquisitions, disposals, international expansion, share schemes and tax efficiency reviews.
Build and maintain strong client relationships.
Manage WIP and billing across your portfolio.
Supervise, support and review work prepared by junior team members.
Assist with internal team projects and operational matters.
Support tenders, proposals, tax due diligence, technical queries and internal training where required.

The role sits within the London corporate tax team of a sizeable UK accountancy and advisory firm.

The client base is broad and includes corporate businesses across a range of sectors, with regular exposure to both compliance and advisory work.

You will work closely with Senior Managers, Directors and Partners, as well as colleagues across audit, accounts and wider tax service lines.

5. Progression

This role offers clear progression potential within a growing corporate tax team.
