You’ll bring:

  • Significant experience and strong technical knowledge of UK VAT

  • A proven ability to advise on a wide range of Indirect Tax matters

  • Experience handling direct correspondence and matters with HMRC

  • A track record of winning work, developing existing client relationships and attracting new clients

  • A professional qualification, such as ACA, CTA, ACCA, or equivalent


How We’ll Support You

At BDO, we believe exceptional client service starts with exceptional people. That is why we invest in your success through access to the latest knowledge, technology and support networks.

You will be encouraged to combine technical expertise with innovation to deliver insightful, high-quality advice that helps clients respond to today’s tax landscape with confidence.

  • Career development opportunities that help you progress with purpose

  • Mentoring, coaching and ongoing support at every stage of your journey

  • Access to leading tools, knowledge and technology

  • The autonomy to shape your career and make a meaningful impact
