The Role If you're looking to take your career to the next level, then this might be the role that you've been waiting for. A leading R&D tax credit consultancy is hiring for a head of compliance/compliance manager position. Though this is a start-up, it has already emerged as a respected and reputable firm within the industry, having grown in spectacular fashion. They have a solid growth plan that will lead to doubling in size during each of the next three years. You can do great things when you're working for an ambitious and well organised company, and that's just what this firm offers. To do this, they need the best people on board. Their hiring strategy is: hire the best of the best within the industry. They're happy and willing to pay premium salaries to get these people on board. If you class yourself as one of the top performers for your position, this role should appeal. So what will you be doing in this position? First, you'll be working internally, ensuring that all the claims prepared by the consultant delivery team meet the firm's high standards. To do this, you'll need experience working within a financial assessment role with a specific focus on R&D tax credit claims. You may currently be working in a managerial position for a top accountancy firm. The hiring company prefers someone who has experience working in an HMRC inspectorate role, but it's not essential. The recruit will begin their career within the firm in a standalone role that reports directly to one of the directors. Over time, the position will evolve, eventually taking a lead role in new product offerings and developing the expanding compliance team. If you're interested in this position, then be sure to get in touch to discuss the role in greater detail.
