Corporate Tax Associate Director

We are a Corporate Tax Team working across many sectors including TMT, Lifesciences, Manufacturing and Science with a diverse and interesting range of clients - from entrepreneurial start-ups to large, global FTSE 100 companies. We are a fast-growing and high-performing team and, for you, it’s the chance to lead the delivery of advisory work and building and running a portfolio of clients.

Your potential will grow too, with plenty of opportunities to learn new skills or further enhance your current ones. Along the way, we’ll give you all the client-facing exposure, support and connections you need to take your career in whichever direction you want it to go, with the scope for the right business to grow their career with BDO.

Tax is a dynamic, ever-changing industry. As our clients’ needs and the regulatory environment evolve, you’ll encounter new problems to solve and new opportunities for growth. Whether it’s advising clients on high-profile specialisms like Corporation Tax or leading the delivery of multiteam projects, you’ll enjoy variety as well as stretch in your role.

BDO supports all kinds of different businesses in different sectors across the UK and around the world. You’ll be providing Tax Advisory services to Private Equity backed, private businesses and FTSE listed multinationals. Each of our clients has different needs and in applying your expertise in different contexts, you’ll develop your skills and gain valuable experience that will serve you throughout your career.

Our clients trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with clients and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who can work pro-actively and confidently collaborating with others, communicating regularly with Directors and BDO’s Partners to enable us to serve our clients effectively. You’ll be encouraged to think and operate strategically to grow your portfolio and leadership skills for the benefit of your career and the Firm.

We are looking for someone with:

• Strong understanding of and previous experience of managing a portfolio of corporate tax clients providing advisory and compliance services.
• The skill of managing the successful delivery of commercially viable and technically excellent advice to a variety of clients.
• The ability to build and manage strong relationships with clients and other stakeholders.
• Experience of actively seeking and winning opportunities for selling new services to new and existing clients, and a desire to build upon this by working with the partner group to build the portfolio.
• Experience of managing people.
• CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent.

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.

Mutual support and respect is one of BDO’s core values and we’re proud of our distinctive, people-centred culture. From informal success conversations to formal mentoring and coaching, we’ll support you at every stage in your career, whatever your personal and professional needs.

Our agile working framework helps us stay connected, bringing teams together where and when it counts so they can share ideas and help one another. At BDO, you’ll always have access to the people and resources you need to do your best work.

We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for the companies we work with and satisfying experiences for our colleagues, so we’ve invested in state-of-the-art collaboration spaces in our offices. BDO’s people represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and we’ll encourage you to build your network, work alongside others, and share your skills and experiences. With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you’ll never stop learning at BDO.
