Our Financial Services practice is diverse and comprises Asset Management (which includes Private Equity, Real Estate, Infrastructure and Funds), Banking and Insurance and is a dynamic and successful area of our business.

We recognise the importance and value of corporation tax compliance within Financial Services, and we also recognise the value of our tax compliance and tax advisory teams working closely together to give the most varied, interesting career opportunities and the best outcomes for our clients and our people. That is why we work as one advisory and compliance team with specialists who focus on compliance working as a group within that team, known as the FS Compliance Hub.

You really can shape your career in the way you want to being part of the Financial Services Compliance Hub. For example, our aim is to offer experience of both compliance and advisory work and also work across the different areas of Financial Services.

Of course, if you are already a subject matter expert or already have deep knowledge of, or interest in, a particular sector then we would welcome your focus on your area of interest. Flexibility to manage and build your career is fundamental to the aims behind the creation of the Hub.

We are looking for talented Managers with UK corporate tax experience to join us at this exciting time and help implement, shape, and develop the Hub as we expand and invest significantly in Financial Services tax.

What will you be doing?

In addition to delivering corporate tax compliance services there are opportunities to be involved in tax advisory work, the development of our innovative technology solutions and also to participate in client demonstrations and other aspects of business development, to keep your role varied and tailored to your interests where possible.

With our technology enabled solutions our compliance specialists can focus on technical excellence, opportunity spotting and managing the compliance relationship with clients.

We are offering both full time and part time roles with flexible working arrangements which include, early or late starts to fit around other commitments, shorter working days etc. We would be happy to discuss your own requirements and our range of flexible working arrangements in more detail, should that be of interest.
The core aspects of the role are:

• Maintain a portfolio of clients and take responsibility for ensuring the tax computations are prepared to a high standard, on a timely basis and finalised and submitted to HMRC within agreed deadlines.
• Oversee the work of assistant managers, providing coaching and technical guidance as part of the overall review proce
