We work with companies that are Britain’s economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially‑spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

BDO’s Tax Accounting Group is a national group bringing together tax professionals who specialise in tax accounting and tax audit work. This role will provide tax audit support on our largest, high‑profile audits across a range of groups and sectors.

You will act as a key contact for tax accounting queries for the wider tax and audit practices and be involved in coaching and training more junior members of the team.

• Prior experience of tax accounting and tax auditing, with a clear desire to specialise in this area.
• Knowledge of tax accounting under FRS102 and IFRS; prior experience of US GAAP is useful but not obligatory.
• General corporate tax experience providing corporate tax advisory and/or compliance services to a variety of clients.
