The PAT team provides high quality tax advice and relevant information to the decision makers in A&O, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and to ensure that we deliver our service efficiently. This role will also require the individual to support the team in providing clear and accurate tax advice to the business stakeholders on various tax matters.

The role would be most suitable for a person who has good corporate/mixed tax compliance experience and is currently working at the level of ‘newly qualified’ up to ‘tax senior’ or equivalent level. Applications from part-qualified candidates will be considered, where they have demonstrable experience of working in a tax team and have good technical corporate tax skills. Study support may be available to complete a relevant qualification. There is clear scope for development in this role.
 

Preparation of Partnership tax computations, which include the worldwide 'Trading Income' of the primary LLP entities (profits c. £500m+), and submission of the partnership tax returns to HM Revenue & Customs. 

Preparation of UK tax computations for various other UK and non-UK Partnerships and timely submission of tax returns. 

Preparation of corporate tax and wider governance returns, including SAO, for the Group’s subsidiary corporate entities. 

Key role in year-end closing process, including assisting in the preparation of Deferred Tax calculations. 

Assisting in the tax accounting and preparation of the tax notes for disclosure the firm’s statutory accounts. 

Completion of VAT returns – including management and reconciliation of the VAT accounting. 

Advising partners and finance teams on complex VAT matters. 

Involvement in various projects, e.g. tax digitalisation, Capital allowances, employment tax aspects, business structuring etc.


What you will have

Experienced in the preparation of UK tax computations. 

Strong analytical and numeracy skills with an ability to focus on detail.

Particularly strong IT skills, specifically with the use of excel. 

Ability to analyse and communicate complex technical tax and accounting matters and provide clear/accurate advice both orally and in writing to non-specialists. (Previous VAT experience is not a pre-requisite but UK corporate tax experience is.) 

Experience of submitting corporate and partnership tax returns online using tax software packages, including Alphatax and CCH Personal Tax or similar. 

The role will involve interactions with partners, external tax advisers, finance teams and other support functions. The ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with these stakeholders will therefore be critical. 

Collaborative approach and ability to build strong relationships with PAT team colleagues and more broadly in London and Belfast, as well as with colleagues in other teams located across the globe. 

Good time management and organisational skills 

Knowledge of tax issues affecting professional partnerships is desirable. An appropriate professional financial qualification, CTA/ACA/ACCA/ATT or qualified by experience is essential.
