Manager - Personal Tax Compliance, Grant Thornton, Northampton

Our clients know just how important it is to maximise and protect their personal wealth. However, the UK has some of the most complex tax legislation in the world. Over time, taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax can also erode their wealth significantly. Grant Thornton’s Personal Tax Compliance Unit specialises in advising client’s on how to minimise their tax liability and to ensure they are complying with their tax obligations. As the tax system is always changing, the team are skilled in keeping client’s up-to-date on developments and advise on how the changes might affect them. Throughout, they can relax knowing their tax affairs are in safe hands.

You’ll demonstrate sufficient leadership skills to provide support to managers in managing a team responsible for producing tax returns to agreed service standard and act as a role model within the team, coaching and mentoring your junior colleagues.
You’ll be technically strong to review and supervise work and be able to provide intelligent and creative solutions to client tax issues both proactively and reactively.
You’ll develop an internal network and build a detailed understanding of client expectations delivering excellent client service within the team.
You’ll demonstrate a strong understanding of the full range of the firm’s services to identify new Tax Planning/Advisory opportunities and be able to cross-sell accordingly.

You'll seize opportunities. We want to adapt quickly and wisely to changing conditions to

optimise growth for both our clients and ourselves.

You'll apply critical reasoning to bring clarity and insight. We do it by asking great questions,

listening and drawing on our collective knowledge and experience to really help others grow.
