ESG COMMITMENT
We take our responsibility seriously. From reducing our environmental impact, to supporting education through training and talent programmes, to giving back to our local communities with our charitable initiative ABBIE- ESG is part of who we are.
ROLE PURPOSE
Key duties & responsibilities:
- Build and manage strong, trusted relationships with clients, acting as a senior point of contact across a wide range of UK employment tax matters.
- Lead complex advisory and compliance projects from initial scoping through to delivery.
- Provide clear, practical and commercially focused advice tailored to our clients and their businesses.
- Lead employer compliance reviews, disclosures and HMRC enquiries.
- Review technical advice and correspondence, supporting the team to consistently deliver high-quality work.
- Keep ahead of developments in UK Employment Tax and turn these into practical solutions and opportunities for our clients.
- Collaborate with colleagues across AAB to provide clients with joined-up advice and access to the wider expertise of the Group.
- Spot and develop opportunities to provide additional support to existing clients.
- Build relationships across AAB and develop opportunities to work collaboratively with other teams.
- Develop relationships with prospective clients and your wider professional network.
- Contribute to proposals, pitches, events and technical updates.
- Help us develop new services and solutions in response to changing legislation and client needs.
- Build your own profile as a trusted adviser in the UK Employment Tax market.
- Managing scope, budgets, billing, recoveries and work in progress.
- Identifying and dealing with scope creep and delivery risks early.
- Managing competing priorities across your own workload and the wider team.
- Taking responsibility for getting things done and seeing actions through to completion.
- Looking for ways we can work smarter and deliver an even better service to our clients.
Experience & qualifications
- PAYE and National Insurance contributions.
- Benefits and expenses, including P11Ds and PAYE Settlement Agreements.
- Employment status, off-payroll working and IR35
- Termination payments
- Employer compliance reviews, disclosures and HMRC enquiries.
- CIS and other employer tax compliance matters.
Just as importantly, you'll be able to apply that technical knowledge pragmatically. We don't believe every client needs the same answer or approach, so you'll be comfortable understanding the wider circumstances and tailoring your advice accordingly.
You'll also bring:
- Experience of independently managing complex client engagements and a varied portfolio.
- Strong client relationship and communication skills.
- Experience of coaching and developing others.
- Good commercial awareness and experience managing engagement finances.
- The confidence to make decisions, take ownership and keep things moving.
- A collaborative approach and a genuine interest in working with colleagues across AAB.
- An interest in developing new client opportunities and growing the practice.
ATT, CTA or an equivalent professional qualification would be advantageous, although we are equally interested in relevant experience and demonstrable technical and commercial capability.
