Tax Senior – Corporate Team in London

Location: On site / Stratford, London, UK

Job type: Permanent / Full-time

Sector and subsector: Tax & Practice | General Tax

Salary: Competitive Salary

Purpose of the role

In joining Affinia, you will be part of a growing, successful, forward‐thinking and dynamic tax department. As a Senior, this role is about solidifying core technical expertise in your relevant field and applying it consistently to your work. We want to see you take more ownership of client work and begin contributing to team development and business growth. This role is a crucial stepping stone, where you consolidate technical skills while beginning to stretch into client and team leadership. Excellent teamwork and communication skills are essential.

The role requires an experienced individual of Corporate and or Mixed Tax compliance processes and workflow. However, there is also ample opportunity to get involved in high‐value advisory work for a varied portfolio of individuals. We operate a hybrid working model, so you will split your time between the office, client sites when required, and from home when you are able. If completing your professional qualifications, we will of course support you in this regard and would anticipate that you be able to finalise your chartered qualifications (i.e. CTA). We provide ongoing training to develop your 'soft' skills e.g. coaching and leadership, as well as access to Croner‐i's CPD and technical library and some elements of Mercia.
