  • Ensure compliance with HMRC regulations and keep up to date with VAT legislation.

  • Support the wider accounting team with VAT-related insights and training where needed.

  • Work confidently with various accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent, etc.).

About You

  • Strong practical experience preparing VAT Returns in an accountancy practice environment.

  • Experience across a range of industries including construction, retail, and IT.

  • Organised, methodical, and able to manage multiple clients and deadlines.

  • Excellent communication skills and client relationship management ability.

  • Capable of working independently and managing a small team.

  • 3+ years of VAT experience in practice.
