A career in Finance, within Internal Firm Services, will provide you with the opportunity to help PwC in all aspects of our Finance internal function including financial planning and reporting, data analysis, and assisting leadership with overall strategy. You'll focus on recording and analysing financial transactions, paying and receiving invoices, maintaining financial statement ledger accounts, and preparing analysis and reconciliations of bills to detect fraud. The Firm's Tax Group is the internal tax team that deals with PwC's own tax affairs. We are part of One Finance but report to the Firm's Designated Tax Partner. The Firm's Tax group is largely based in Embankment Place, London, with several team members across the Regions. In line with the Firm's new Deal for its people, the majority of staff have a blended pattern of office and home working. The Firm's Tax Group deals with all tax matters affecting the firm, from routine compliance through to advising Firm's management on major tax structuring initiatives. A major part of the work effort is in managing the Firm's exposure to, and compliance with, PAYE and associated obligations. The Employee Tax Team comprises of an Employee Tax Lead, supported by a Manager/Senior Associate ("you"). You also have access to support, as required, from a specialist Employment Tax Director/Partner in the Line of Service. You will support by providing first level technical advice on various employment tax matters. You will work with and provide advice to a wide variety of stakeholders of all grades, from explaining a decision to Partners, to confirming to junior staff how to process an item. Providing ad-hoc advice to HC professionals on a quick response' basis is an important part of the role. There is an annual pattern to some of the work, so a need to plan the quarterly and annual tasks. There are also stand-alone projects to deal with. PAYE processing is dealt with by the specialist payroll team based in our Birmingham office. You will be providing them with technical support, reviewing tax calculations and reporting processes, and performing a degree of governance oversight. It is a largely advisory role, providing opportunities to engage with stakeholders at all levels across the business on a wide range of employment tax issues. The work involves: Being a point of contact for employee tax advice within the firm's internal HC and Finance communities. This involves responding to requests for advice from those in the business taking decisions where they have an employee tax impact. This might include providing general advice on the introduction of a new employee benefit, or providing specific advice on the reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses for an employee working across multiple locations. Supporting on payroll and related matters, including managing the ongoing relationship with payroll, and carrying out checks on tax returns, e.g. P11D and year-end Payroll, processes and construction. Delivering the year-end PAYE Settlement return that Firm's Tax completes. Supporting the the Contingent Workforce Team on IR35 escalations. Being aware of external economic influences, how these are impacting the business and the employment tax issues that result. Similarly, being alert to how the firm's strategic priorities, e.g. Net Zero, will drive out employee tax considerations. Keeping aware of changes in tax rules and interpretations, to ensure that matters that have previously been accepted are not overtaken by tax changes, and advising the relevant PwC people accordingly. While this is primarily an employee tax role, there will be opportunities to be involved in wider tax matters. The role reports directly to the Employee Tax Lead in the Firm's Tax Group, and through to the firm's Finance Partner, and ultimately the Firm's Designated Tax Partner. Essential skills needed for the role: Experience of employment taxes - from a previous role in house or in practice - and knowledge of employee tax legislation and interpretations. Excellent communication skills: the ability to convey tax advice clearly both verbally and in writing is fundamental to the role Ability to build meaningful working relationships with stakeholders at all levels, such that they are encouraged to seek advice on new matters, rather than wait until a problem becomes apparent. Excellent planning and organisational skills: the ability to plan quarterly and annual tasks, while responding on a "needs" basis to day-to-day operational queries. Ability to take initiative while understanding the limits of operating independently. Also, under the Deal, the ability to work flexibly, taking direction from a manager potentially based in a different location. Good analytical skills: an ability to manipulate and interpret data and apply the appropriate tax treatment. Willingness to travel, generally to Embankment Place (London), for team meetings and similar.
