Working in VAT

• About the team

  We are the largest dedicated VAT team in the region dealing with VAT, customs duty and other indirect taxes.

  As well as managing our own client portfolio, we also act as an extension of all PKF Francis Clark teams, supporting them and their clients to deliver the very best results.

• What it’s like to work here

  Ours is a dynamic, deadline-driven environment, full of interesting work that builds knowledge and skills. People who drive success here are capable multi-taskers who can solve problems and prioritise tasks to ensure nothing is missed.

  Our team works as one even though we’re multi-sited across the firm.

• Typical projects and clients

  We work with corporate, family business and private clients, as well as partnering all PKF Francis Clark teams working on VAT and indirect tax assignments and answering their general ad-hoc queries.

  For example, we might be called on to do a VAT review to reassure the client that everything is OK or we might work with Corporate Finance to carry out some due diligence work. We also look at VAT for acquisitions and mergers, property deals and company reorganisations.

• Our approach to learning

  Continuous learning is every day in the VAT team so the desire to develop is essential. Here, you’ll be supported by colleagues who are encouraged to coach each other, especially when working on something new or developing a new offering. It’s also essential to keep up-to-date with current regulations and legislation in a constantly changing area.

• Career pathways

  We are focused on doing our very best work, delivering the very best solutions and developing the very best people. That translates into supporting you with development opportunities so that you grow with your clients and the business.

  We’ve now opened opportunities to graduates as we grow our own specialists to best serve the evolving needs of our clients – now and in the future.
