We are looking to recruit an ambitious VAT Manager to join our expanding VAT Team.

Following continued growth in the VAT team, we are now looking to recruit an accomplished Manager to support our VAT Partner and VAT Team in the delivery and continued expansion of our firmwide VAT advisory services.

You will be responsible for managing client work delivery, input from junior team members and reporting to senior team leadership to provide a comprehensive VAT advisory service to a wide range of clients from mid-market to large international businesses, education and public sector organisations, charities and not for profit organisations.

Particularly relevant for the job would be VAT expertise in Construction, Land & Property, Deals & Restructuring, Cross-border, Partial Exemption and Business/Non-Business, and dealing with HMRC.

This role can be based from any of our 8 offices and will appeal to qualified and experienced VAT Executives or Assistant Managers who are looking to make the step up to Manager or established Managers who are looking for a new challenge within a modern and forward thinking business.

This role will give the appointed candidate a clear career path to progress within an organisation that promotes hybrid and flexible working.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • People Management Experience
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills that enable you to build rapport with people at all levels
  • A strong desire to contribute to the overall success of Bishop Fleming
