VAT Director/Senior Director (Full-time/Part-time)
VAT Senior Director, Tax Advisory (Full-time/Part-time) | Corporate Finance & Restructuring
About Tax Advisory:
We provide business taxes advisory services to FTSE 100, international funds, and major corporations across a broad suite of tax services and technical specialists. We are an independent expert led tax practice with definitive expertise across many areas of tax and a commercial approach to advising our clients. Our senior management team members are leaders in their field, qualified in accounting, tax, law and surveying and the team also includes valuations and technology experts and economists.
About the Role:
The Corporate Finance Practice in FTI Consulting is seeking a Director / Senior Director to support the senior team in providing indirect tax input into transaction advisory and due diligence projects.
The tax team is involved in many transaction and due diligence projects which are generated from a variety of sources including the tax client base, part of wider projects with our Transaction Services and Restructuring teams, referrals from our international network, WTS Global and referrals from other international parts of the FTI firm. The role is to lead and/or support the indirect tax Managing Director on the indirect tax aspects of these projects, day to day liaison on the transaction process, identifying potential exposures and opportunities and drafting the indirect tax parts of reports.
You must have experience of advising on transactions and undertaking due diligences projects, be highly organised, have a good attention to detail and be able work to deadlines. Due to the large volume of real estate transactions that the FTI tax team are involved in, experience of VAT issues involving land and property will be an advantage. However, the transactions that we are involved in can cover any industry, so a good general knowledge of VAT will be essential.
You are likely to currently be part of a transaction services team at a Big 4 or equivalent, providing VAT support, but any candidate with the requisite transaction and VAT experience will be considered.
