What you will bring to the role:

  • An ability to provide advice and solutions to technical tax queries and interpret technical matters, whilst communicating this information clearly to clients and other team members.

  • Strong UK tax technical skills and understanding.

You will ideally be ACA/CTA qualified person with some post qualification experience in corporation tax, and ideally employee share schemes, EIS/SEIS or M&A. Please note that experience in these areas is desirable but not essential.
