Senior Tax Governance & Risk Manager in Wigan

We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions all organisations need to navigate today's changing world. We work with companies that are Britain's economic engine – ambitious and entrepreneurially-spirited businesses that fuel the economy – whether privately or publicly owned.

Our Tax Assurance & Risk Management ('TA&RM') team is a fast-growing collaborative team of around 15 people nationally led by three dedicated tax partners. Our work has helped many clients meet their legislative tax governance compliance obligations and strategically improve their tax operations and tax control framework, manage tax risk, and provide assurance to tax authorities and business stakeholders.

This is a dynamic client-facing role that requires excellent client relationship, communication, and project management skills with the ability to distil tax concepts into easily understood information suitable for a wide array of stakeholders. Most of your work will be client-facing, reporting to senior managers, directors, and partners, and will require you to actively manage your client portfolio and project delivery.

This role will involve consideration of a range of taxes including corporate, indirect, and employment taxes. We require candidates with good commercial awareness who are eager to learn, adapt, and contribute to this area of growth for the business.

We are looking for someone who can act as a key point of contact within the firm for the client, together with senior members of the team. This will involve responding quickly to, as well as anticipating, client requests/needs, keeping clients informed of progress in relation to all aspects of the service provided, and maintaining regular contact with clients.

Key requirements include:

• Experience of TA&RM work (including tax process, tax strategy, SAO, CCO, tax risk registers) with a keen interest in tax governance and developing tax operations.
• Broad tax technical experience to discuss a range of tax issues knowledgeably.
• Experience in end-to-end project delivery and quality advice/report writing skills.
• A strong presentation style, and confidence in hosting workshops, training sessions, and webinars, often to Board level.
• Educated to degree level, and/or CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent, or relevant experience.

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.

We know that collaboration is the key to creating value for the companies we work with and satisfying experiences for our colleagues. We're looking forward to the future at BDO, helping entrepreneurial businesses to succeed and fuelling the UK economy.
