About the Role

As a VAT Director at RSM, you will play a key role in supporting clients on a wide range of Real Estate and construction matters. Your expertise will be invaluable in advising clients on VAT issues and queries, and you will work closely with the Real Estate VAT Director and Partner to deliver practical and commercial VAT advice.

Responsibilities:

* Manage client relationships and act as the principal point of contact for clients in respect of VAT issues and queries.
* Deliver VAT advice to clients on land and property matters.
* Work alongside the wider Real Estate tax specialists to provide VAT input into tax structuring and Real Estate tax due diligence projects.
* Develop the more junior team, including delegation of appropriate work, on-the-job coaching and more formal feedback.
* Assist in business development, including proposal preparation for new work and building relationships with clients and targets.

About the Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working at Manager or Associate Director level within VAT, as well as previous experience of winning work and/or the ability to unlock fees from the existing client base. You will be confident in helping to develop junior members of staff and driving forward a good team environment.

About the Service Line Head

Ian Carpenter, VAT Partner: "What is VAT? I didn't know it at the time but my life in tax started when I passed the civil service entrance exam. I merrily thought I would have a choice of the Foreign Office, the MOD or the Home Office only to be told I was joining HMRC and my options were VAT or Excise neither of which I had heard of at the time. I chose VAT but I to this day I can't really say why.

From that uncertain start came a love of this tax; the balance between inputs and outputs, how it directly relates to business transactions and its myriad of case law. I found that I loved talking to the tax people that shared my passion and the business leaders that didn't but needed someone to help them understand the impact on their commercial transactions.

After 10 enjoyable years at HMRC I joined the profession and 12 years ago I joined what is now RSM. Those 12 years (and counting) is the longest time I have spent anywhere in my career. From the day I joined, RSM has felt different. It's much easier to feel the difference than it is to describe it. It's the willingness of the people across the firm to share and collaborate to get the best answer for our clients and our teams.

It is a true privilege to lead and help grow my service line and to nurture people who joined us at the start of their careers, helping them grow and find their own path both professionally and personally. Some of my best moments have been conversations with team members telling them they have been successful in achieving the next step in their career progression journey.

I also have a passion (but limited aptitude) for technology. In the next few years, the administration of tax and our tax business will change significantly due to the increased use of technology and automation by us, our clients and by tax authorities around the world. This creates exciting opportunities to alleviate mundane tasks from our people and the ability to create new offerings and insights for our clients.

I love working with our brilliant people (who have both the passion and aptitude for technology) to make this the reality.

The answer to what is VAT therefore is a gateway to a rewarding career.
