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.

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 both comfortable working pro-actively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with the team at all levels to help businesses effectively.
