If you’re after a career that will keep you on your toes, we’ll give you the autonomy to drive your career forward.

Our Tax Assurance & Risk Management (‘TA&RM’) team is a fast-growing collaborative team of around 15 people nationally led by three dedicated tax partners, who together support a wide variety of private, private equity-backed and listed clients across sectors. Our work has helped many clients meet their legislative tax governance compliance obligations (including in relation to the Senior Accounting Officer and Corporate Criminal Offences regimes, the tax strategy publication requirement and HMRC’s Business Risk Review process) and strategically improve their tax operations and tax control framework, manage tax risk and provide assurance to tax authorities and business stakeholders. Technology is an important part of helping our clients succeed and we encourage innovation at all levels in our team. We are an award-winning specialist tax team.

This is a dynamic client-facing role that requires excellent client relationship, communication and project management skills, and the ability to distil complex concepts into easily understood information suitable for a wide array of stakeholders. Most of your work will be client facing and will require you to actively manage client portfolios, manage project delivery, coordinating junior resource and BDO tax specialists, to deliver exceptional client service. Owning client relationships with the senior team is key, and you’ll be heavily involved in business development and innovation activities to support our business growth.

This role will involve consideration of a range of taxes including corporate, indirect and employment taxes; our work is broader than any one area of tax and at the senior manager level, we require candidates with a depth of tax experience, specifically with TA&RM experience, with good commercial awareness who are eager to learn, adapt and contribute to this area of growth for the business. Importantly, we are looking for natural curiosity about how tax functions and businesses run, from the governance, processes and controls to the people and technology they use and the tax technical issues relevant to them.

• To act as a key point of contact within the firm for our clients, together with the senior team.
• With experience of TA&RM work (including such as tax strategy, SAO and CCO compliance, HMRC Business Risk Reviews, developing the tax control framework and tax operating model, advising on tax risk management e.g. tax risk registers.)
• With a strong presentation style, and confidence in hosting workshops, training sessions and webinars, often to Board level, and with strong tax technical experience to be able to talk knowledgeably at a good level about a range of tax issues.
• With experience in end-to-end project delivery, who can lead projects with complexity to deliver quality advice.
• Who has a keen interest in helping clients develop tax governance and developing bespoke scopes of work to meet our clients’ needs.
• With personal responsibility for own decisions and the actions of others.
• Educated to degree level, and/or CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent, or relevant experience.

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit our clients, the task at hand, our teams, and you.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.
