• Action queries raised by tax colleagues on the draft tax returns and computations.

• Be flexible and proactive in managing multiple priorities.

It would be desirable if you had 3 A-Levels at grade A*-C (or equivalent) or AAT L3 or L4 qualified or have a relevant degree. It would also be beneficial if you have relevant accounts or tax experience, use of tax preparation software, and proven experience in delivering excellent client service but this is not essential as full training is provided through both external training and learning from colleagues, some of whom have decades of experience.
