VAT Accountant

Our client, a global pharmaceutical company, is currently looking for a VAT Accountant to join their team near Liverpool on a full time, 12-month temporary basis (35 hours per week).

You will be overseeing multi country VAT returns, reconciliations, and reporting as well as advising on VAT related queries for markets within the European and international regions.

This role is a 50/50 hybrid role (3 days in week 1, 2 days in week
2) and offers some flexibility for start / finish times around core working hours.

The role does not require a fully qualified accountant (although CIMA / ACCA is of course beneficial). If you have worked as a VAT Analyst (or similar job title) covering multi country indirect tax, this would be an excellent fit.

• Prepare VAT returns and other tax returns ensuring deadlines are met.
• Request VAT submission approvals from internal stakeholders.
• Create VAT and sales general ledger reconciliations.
