Expat Tax Assistant Manager (remote working)

Change Public Practice are working with a Big 4 firm in Glasgow to assist them in the recruitment of several Expatriate Tax Assistant Managers. Experience within Expatriate Tax is highly desirable, however, specialists within Personal Tax who would like to transition into Expatriate Tax will also be welcome as full training and support will be provided.

This Big 4 firm has a real focus on work-life balance, flexible working hours (including early or late starts, shorter working days etc.) and as such has a strong staff retention within their tax function. Gone are the days where Big 4 firms strike fear of excessive working hours and stress in order to have a successful career with an enviable client base - this firm can offer it all!

Whilst you can be based in Glasgow, one massive selling point of this opportunity is that remote working is on offer and this would be on an annualised contract which compliments their commitment to a strong work-life balance. This remote working and annualised contract would entail being employed on a permanent basis and being paid as if you are in the office (12 months per year) but it would allow you to work the required hours during the busy season which would be balanced with non-billable hours in March, April and May every year. You would of course be provided with all the equipment that you would require to work from home.
