VAT Compliance Assistant Manager

Ideas | People | Trust
 
We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.
 
We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.
 
We’ll broaden your horizons
 
Our Indirect Tax business continues to grow at a rapid pace. Indirect Taxes raise significant revenues for governments globally and gain increasing focus from tax authorities, the media and the public. For you it’s the chance to hone your tax technical, project management and client service skills with interesting and complex assignments to help clients of all sizes succeed.
 
The team comprises a mix of ‘home-grown’ (including at partner level) and externally recruited talent. This strength and diversity of knowledge and experience creates an environment where our team can bring fresh thinking and a varied perspective to every project, enabling us to deliver creative, commercial and robust solutions for our clients.
 
We’ll help you succeed
 
Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice.  That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.
 
You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working pro-actively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with  seniors, colleagues and clients to help businesses effectively.
 
You’ll be someone with:

• Previous experience with and interest in UK VAT.
• Responsibility to build and manage your own advisory portfolio, supported by the Director and Partner.
• Attention to detail and clear communication style
• Willingness to build and grow a network in the Reading office
• Experience of dealing directly with HMRC
• CTA or equivalent qualified or part qualified

 
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 you, your teams, and the task at hand.
 
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.
 
We’re in it together
 
Mutual support and respect is one of BDO’s core values and we’re proud of our distinctive, people-centred culture.  From informal success conversations to formal mentoring and coaching, we’ll support you at every stage in your career, whatever your personal and professional needs.
Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another.  At BDO, you’ll always have access to the people and resources you need to do your best work.
 
We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for the companies we work with and satisfying experiences for our colleagues, so we’ve invested in state-of-the-art collaboration spaces in our offices.  BDO’s people represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we’ll encourage you to build your network, work alongside others, and share your skills and experiences.  With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you’ll never stop learning at BDO.
 
We’re looking forward to the future
