Overview
Grant Thornton UK LLP is part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms. We’re a team that puts quality, inclusion and integrity first, delivering a different experience to clients—personal, proactive, and agile. We offer flexibility in working arrangements and support balance between work and life. NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.
In recent years, there has been a shift from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, corporation tax rates have generally decreased while VAT rates have risen. Businesses face complex VAT rules when entering new markets or joining international supply chains. At Grant Thornton, we help clients overcome these challenges and take control of indirect tax.
A look into the role
As an Assistant Manager within our Indirect Tax team you will:
Join a friendly, diverse team with a leading presence in Indirect Tax and VAT.
Support the scoping, delivery and billing of client work. You will be required to comply with the firm’s risk management processes from initial take-on to completion of assignments.
Ensure that more junior staff are guided in researching and producing work that meets the firm’s commitment to quality, while also supporting the Directors and Partners.
Provide technically relevant advice on a range of Indirect Tax matters, supporting your decisions with knowledge of legislation, case law, and technical analysis.
Produce technical work which requires minimal review and conveys key points to clients and stakeholders.
Qualifications
The minimum criteria you’ll need is experience of UK Indirect/VAT Taxes, perhaps from an advisory or in-house environment. You’d probably also hold a relevant tax qualification (CTA/ATT). It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box—we’ll help you develop along the way.
Experience of working with a large and varied portfolio of UK indirect/VAT tax clients
Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to forge long-standing business relationships
Comfort working as part of a mixed-discipline team, taking the lead and driving a project to its conclusion
Experience advising on complex technical indirect tax matters would be beneficial, especially applying current UK tax law
Know if we’re right for you
We value an inclusive culture where everyone can bring their whole self to work. We offer a culture that respects differences and supports personal and professional growth, with leaders who are interested in you and what you bring to the firm.
Beyond the job
We look at flexible working options for all roles to help you balance work and life. The impact you can make goes beyond your day job, including secondments, fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world.
We’re driven by our firm values—purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind—and we’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. It’s how it should be.
