London, Greater London, United Kingdom RSM Full time
About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team of VAT professionals at RSM, working on a hybrid basis and enjoying the benefits of being at home and in the office on a weekly basis. The role will involve managing a group of clients and the firm, ensuring the agreed expectations in terms of service, quality, and cost are met.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of working at Senior Manager or Associate Director level within VAT, with strong client management and business development skills. You will be confident in delivering advisory work and have the desire to develop junior members of staff and facilitate a great team environment.

The role offers a great prospect to quickly progress to Director or even Partner grade, and we are happy to consider applications for Director grade entry where the candidate can evidence an impressive track record of operating at this level.

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.

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