An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an experienced VAT professional to join a growing national advisory team as a VAT Manager. This role offers a unique platform to work across a broad client portfolio in a collaborative and ambitious environment, with clear pathways for progression and professional development.
This is a full-time, permanent position with hybrid working (up to three days from home).
The Opportunity
The successful candidate will take on a key advisory role within a well-established national VAT team, supporting a diverse range of clients from owner-managed businesses and large corporates to not-for-profit organisations and high-net-worth individuals. The nature of work is varied and technical, offering exposure to complex and interesting matters such as land and property, supply chain structuring, liability analysis, and HMRC dispute resolution.
The firm’s VAT function operates nationally, encouraging collaboration across offices and enabling team members to develop sector specialisms while avoiding siloed working. The role combines high-level technical work with client relationship management and business development, making it ideal for someone who is commercially minded and ready to make an impact.
Key Responsibilities
* Delivering clear, strategic VAT advice across a variety of sectors and client types.
* Leading client engagements from scoping to final delivery and billing.
* Advising on HMRC negotiations, complex liability issues, and cross-border VAT matters.
* Supporting junior team members and contributing to national team development.
* Participating in practice-wide business development and sector initiatives.
* Reviewing complex VAT returns prepared on behalf of clients.
* Contributing to the firm’s thought leadership and knowledge-sharing efforts.
What We’re Looking For
* Strong technical grounding in UK VAT, with cross-sector advisory experience.
* Expertise in land and property VAT issues is highly desirable.
* A commercial, practical approach and strong communication skills, able to explain complex issues clearly to both clients and non-VAT specialists.
* Confidence in managing client relationships and identifying new business opportunities.
* Previous experience of mentoring or managing others within a team.
* A proactive, collaborative working style and willingness to contribute to the firm’s growth initiatives.
What’s on Offer
* Salary range: £60,000 – £75,000 depending on experience.
* Flexible hybrid working (35-hour week with core hours from 10 am to 4 pm).
* Generous benefits package including:
* 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
* Contributory pension scheme
* Profit-sharing scheme and discretionary bonus eligibility
* Life assurance, family-friendly policies, and a suite of flexible benefits
* A genuinely inclusive and people-first culture, with a strong focus on collaboration, diversity, and professional excellence.
Next Steps:
If you're a VAT specialist looking to take the next step in a dynamic and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a progressive team where your technical expertise and commercial insight will be genuinely valued.
