Our Belfast office is a successful and growing one thanks to a large and varied client base ranging from multinational listed businesses to start‑ups, owner‑managed to private‑equity/entrepreneurial venture–backed covering various sectors. The role gives you the opportunity to gain experience of the mid‑market and to enhance your skills working with national and international businesses.

As part of our Belfast‑based business tax advisory team you’ll provide a full range of business tax advisory services. You’ll work alongside specialists on a day‑to‑day basis to broaden your experience of different business tax areas, help our clients through the challenges of tax planning both UK and international and provide support on merger and acquisition transactions, both from a tax due‑diligence and a tax structuring point of view.

The varied work encompasses all business tax advisory matters, including corporate and shareholder reorganisations, corporate restructuring, corporate acquisitions and disposals (with a particular focus on tax due‑diligence and tax structuring projects), refinancing, BEPS and international tax. This role ultimately offers broad experience with significant exposure to senior stakeholders, responsibility in key decisions and a varied portfolio to help you develop your career with EY.
