This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly respected accountancy firm as a Senior VAT Manager, paying up to £77,000, based within the North West. You'll provide high quality Indirect Tax advice to clients across a diverse portfolio, play a key role in business development, and help drive the growth of the VAT service line.

  • Manage and mentor junior team members, overseeing technical delivery and supporting their professional development.

As a Senior VAT Manager you will be:

  • An experienced VAT / Indirect Tax professional, ideally CTA/ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent).
  • Either a strong Assistant Manager / Manager ready to step up, or an established Senior Manager looking for progression.
  • Strong track record in delivering high-quality advisory work across a broad range of industries.
  • Experience managing projects, teams, and HMRC interactions.

What's On Offer

  • Salary up to £77,000 (DOE) + comprehensive benefits package.
