• ACA, CA, CTA, ACCA or equivalent qualification, complemented by strong corporate tax and accounting knowledge.
• Proven ability to develop, coach, and lead staff, fostering a high-performance team culture, alongside effectively managing senior stakeholders.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills, coupled with strong oral and written communication abilities, enabling effective client engagement and successful collaboration across teams.
