• Work alongside experienced Senior Managers, Directors and Partners who are invested in your professional development.
• Benefit from strong career progression opportunities within a market-leading global organisation.
• Contribute to the continued development and growth of a relatively new and ambitious US tax practice.

• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and their professional advisers, building and maintaining strong relationships.
• Managing client deadlines and ensuring the delivery of an exceptional client service experience.
• Identifying tax planning opportunities and collaborating with specialists across other tax disciplines where appropriate.
