Join an international advisory and accounting firm with a major US presence (23 offices, Top 50 US CPA) and a strong UK practice. The London office offers a modern, friendly, small-office environment with global firm connectivity. The UK practice works extensively with high-profile clients across music, entertainment, sports, UHNW/HNW, and international niches, receiving a significant volume of internal and international referrals and is growing quickly.
The Role
This is a predominantly VAT advisory role (approx. 90% consulting), with limited compliance for clients receiving consulting support. Work covers a broad range of sectors.
As VAT Assistant Manager, you will work directly with the VAT Partner and be responsible for:
- Delivering VAT consulting and limited compliance work to support the VAT Partner and wider firm
- Attending client and prospect meetings; dealing with follow-up advisory work
- Conducting VAT reviews for audit, accounts and tax clients and drafting short reports using existing templated formats
- Identifying VAT risks, opportunities, and advisory touch points
- Supporting internal teams (audit, accounts, tax) on VAT matters
Practice Mix
Clients span a wide range of VAT-relevant areas, including:
- International Trade
- Land, Property & Construction
- Events Organisations
- Media, Entertainment & Sport
- Professional Practices (Accountancy, Legal, Tax Investigations)
Who We’re Looking For
Someone who is:
- Articulate, credible and client-focused
- A self-starter with a solutions-driven mindset
- Technically strong, commercially aware, and risk-conscious
- Comfortable identifying advisory opportunities
- A reliable team player and natural people person
Development Path
- Shadow the VAT Partner on initial VAT audit reviews (typically the first six), then take responsibility for delivering them independently
- Attend a wide range of client meetings and prepare advisory product
- Manage and grow a mixed advisory/compliance portfolio
- Experience high-value, complex and interesting cases across multiple sectors
Why Join?
- High volume of referral-driven advisory work
- Exposure to high-profile clients in music, entertainment, sport and wider sectors
