Job Description - Tax Associate

Our client is a global VAT and Indirect Tax Compliance specialist — combining expert -led advisory with state -of -the -art technology to help businesses navigate complex compliance obligations worldwide.

They're looking for a detail -obsessed, numerically sharp Tax Associate to manage client accounts and deliver technical VAT support across global operations.

The Role

Unlike a pure support role, you'll own designated client accounts from the start — managing compliance deliverables, liaising directly with clients and tax authorities, and providing quality control across key accounts.

This is a hands -on technical role for someone who is comfortable with numbers, thrives in structured processes, and wants to build genuine expertise in international VAT and indirect tax compliance.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Manage designated client accounts and serve as their VAT compliance point of contact
  • File VAT returns, ECSLs, and intrastat reports across multiple jurisdictions
  • Perform VAT compliance checks and data capturing, processing, and analysis
  • Conduct technical VAT research to support client and internal needs
  • Handle queries and issues from clients and tax authorities
  • Prepare for and respond to audits
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, partners, and team members
  • Deliver accurate, timely information to all relevant parties


Requirements

  • Strong Excel proficiency and solid mathematical ability (essential)
  • Exceptional attention to detail — accuracy is non -negotiable in this role
  • Clear communicator comfortable liaising with clients and tax authorities
  • Organised and methodical with the ability to manage multiple accounts simultaneously
  • Background in tax, finance, or accounting advantageous
  • EU language skills are a bonus (desirable but not essential)


  • Benefits

    ✔ Direct client account ownership from day one

    ✔ Deep technical VAT expertise developed across multiple global jurisdictions

    ✔ Part of one of the world's leading tax recovery and compliance groups
