Excellent opportunity to join this lucrative area of accounting practise supporting a diverse portfolio of UK and international clients across a range of sectors.

As a VAT Associate, you'll be hands-on with the preparation of UK VAT returns—including complex cases involving international transactions, and group structures.

This is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your technical knowledge and contribute to advisory and compliance projects while progressing toward full qualification.

A passion for delivering great service and solving client queries with professionalism and confidence

*

Accounting or related degree, with some commercial experience either through placement or c.12-18mths work history

*

Strong attention to detail and the ability to work efficiently to deadlines

*

Working knowledge of VAT compliance

*

Either already studying towards or holding a qualification (ATT, CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA) — or prepared to take on funded study support.

What We Offer

*

Supportive team culture with opportunities to grow and learn

*

Structured development path, including exposure to VAT health checks and advisory work

*

Access to technical experts and real responsibility from day one

*

Competitive salary and flexible working options

If you're curious, committed, and looking to build a strong foundation in VAT compliance and advisory, we'd love to hear from you.
