Tax Assurance & Risk Management Assistant Manager / Manager in Bolton le Sands

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 ambitious and entrepreneurially-spirited businesses that fuel the economy, whether privately or publicly owned, and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

Our Tax team is friendly, driven, and diverse, servicing clients across the country and around the world. By providing expertise in many different specialist areas of tax, they collaborate across BDO to deliver wider business solutions. Our Tax Assurance & Risk Management (TA&RM) team is a fast-growing collaborative team supporting a wide variety of private, private equity-backed, and listed clients across sectors.

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. Technology is an important part of helping our clients succeed, and we encourage innovation at all levels in our team.

This dynamic client-facing role 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, coordinating teams to deliver exceptional client service.

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. Importantly, we are looking for natural curiosity about how tax functions and businesses run, from governance, processes, and controls to the people and technology they use and the tax technical issues relevant to them.

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice, which grows from a thorough understanding of their business. You'll be comfortable working pro-actively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and partners.

We are looking for someone who can act as a key point of contact within the firm for the client, responding quickly to, as well as anticipating, client requests/needs, keeping clients informed of progress, and maintaining regular contact with clients. You should have experience of TA&RM work, broad tax technical experience, and experience in end-to-end project delivery and quality advice/report writing skills.

You'll be educated to degree level, and/or CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent, or have relevant experience. We're committed to agile working, offering every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit our clients, the task at hand, our teams, and you.

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.

With a range of multidisciplinary events and dedicated resources, you'll never stop learning at BDO. Our success is powered by our people, which is why we're always finding new ways to invest in you.
