Partnership Tax Accounting Manger

We are partnering with a leading global law firm to recruit a Partnership Tax Accounting Manager. This is an exciting opportunity to join a world-class organisation with a reputation for excellence, innovation, and collaboration.

They are looking for an experienced accountant to join their Partnership Tax team in London. This is an additional headcount role designed to bridge a critical gap in managing partnership reserves and tax accounting processes. The successful person will play a key part in shaping how they handle complex tax and accounting requirements for a global partnership. You will report directly into the Head of Tax and will work alongside two other managers.

Whilst this role sits in the tax team, they are looking for someone with a strong accounting background with general ledger experience, reconciliations, who can handle high-volume data and it does not need someone with a technical tax background. The firm are also willing to consider someone part time as well as full time.
