VAT Manager

VAT Manager

Top 10 Firm | London | Hybrid | Up to £75,000 + Benefits

Are you looking for a VAT Manager role that offers genuine advisory exposure, a diverse client base and the opportunity to broaden your indirect tax expertise?

A leading Top 10 accountancy and advisory firm is looking to appoint a VAT Manager into its growing London-based Indirect Tax team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly collaborative team advising a broad portfolio of clients ranging from entrepreneurial businesses and owner-managed companies through to multinational groups. The role combines advisory and compliance responsibilities, with increasing exposure to international VAT, cross-border transactions and wider indirect tax matters.

The Opportunity

As a VAT Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied client portfolio and act as a trusted adviser across a range of VAT and indirect tax matters.

You'll work closely with Directors and Partners on technical projects while enjoying the autonomy to manage client relationships and support the development of junior team members.

The team continues to grow, creating excellent opportunities for ambitious individuals looking to strengthen their advisory skills and progress their careers within a highly respected practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing a portfolio of VAT clients across a wide range of sectors
• Delivering a blend of VAT compliance and advisory services
• Advising on UK and international VAT issues
• Supporting clients with transaction planning and indirect tax risk management
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and building long-term relationships
• Working closely with colleagues across corporate tax, private client and audit teams
• Identifying opportunities to add value and expand client relationships
• Coaching and developing junior members of the team

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a growing 15-person Indirect Tax team within a leading Top 10 firm
• Broad client exposure spanning entrepreneurial businesses, large corporates and international groups
• Increasing levels of advisory-led work alongside compliance responsibilities
• Opportunity to develop expertise across customs and wider indirect taxes
• Direct access to experienced VAT specialists and Partners
• Strong emphasis on client ownership and relationship management
• Collaborative and supportive team culture
• Clear progression opportunities as the practice continues to expand
• Hybrid and flexible working environment

About You

You are likely to be:

• CTA qualified (or equivalent)
• An experienced VAT professional with strong UK indirect tax knowledge
• Comfortable managing client relationships independently
• Technically strong with a practical and commercial approach
• Interested in broadening your advisory exposure
• Motivated by progression and professional development

Experience across multiple sectors and exposure to international VAT matters would be highly advantageous.

Culture & Environment

The team is known for its collaborative approach, technical strength and commitment to delivering practical advice to clients.

You'll benefit from strong Partner accessibility, cross-service line collaboration and an environment that encourages individuals to take ownership of their work while continuing to develop their expertise.

For someone looking to combine high-quality technical work with long-term career progression, this represents an excellent opportunity.

Package

• Up to £75,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid and flexible working
• 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
• Private medical insurance
• Life assurance and pension
• Extensive learning and development opportunities
• Wellbeing and lifestyle benefits
• Clear progression pathway

If you're looking to join a growing VAT team offering high-quality work, excellent client exposure and long-term career development within a Top 10 firm, I'd be delighted to tell you more.
