• Contributing to business development activity for your clients, the team and the wider firm
• Undertaking consultancy work and ad hoc advisory projects alongside core compliance responsibilities
• Ensuring internal procedures are followed and that work reflects relevant professional and HMRC guidance
  
  

To be successful in this role, you should:

• Be a qualified accountant (ACA or ACCA) and/or tax adviser (CTA), or hold an international equivalent qualification
