Head of Tax (Fintech, Greenfield), London - £Excellent package

As we have seen multiple times this year, this rapidly expanding Fintech business is looking to hire a greenfield Head of Tax for several reasons; predominantly to cut down on advisory spend and take more control of their taxes whilst increasing transparency.

The business (payments focused) has grown at a remarkable rate over the past few years and has attracted major investment, leading to a 9 figure valuation. Along with the standard package, this role will offer a share-plan making the opportunity very lucrative.

Responsibilities will include:

- Raising taxes profile within the group, working with C-suite and stakeholders to build on tax awareness
- Establishing best practice for in-house tax reporting
- Tax strategy and planning opportunities where appropriate
- Ownership of all tax matters, currently either outsourced or sat with the FSSC. It will be up to you to decide what you do with this moving forward
- Managing international tax matters inclusive of TP (there is an on-going Big 4 project on TP documentation)

Ideally you will be:

- ACA/ACCA and CTA qualified with Big 4 or Top tier tax training
- Experienced in introducing best practice tax reporting standards on an international scale
- Experienced in working with senior stakeholders for projects and to increase tax awareness
- Versed in wider tax matters, inclusive of indirect taxation and personal taxes
- Ready to build on a fairly sparse tax function
