Tax Accountant

Location: Newcastle upon Tyne and Alnwick

Working pattern: Part time, 3 to 4 days per week

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Job type: Permanent

An established and highly regarded organisation is looking to appoint a Tax Adviser or Tax Accountant to join its finance team.

This is a varied in-house role offering exposure across corporate, personal, trust and estate taxation. You will work closely with an experienced Senior Tax Controller, internal finance colleagues and external advisers, supporting the organisation with tax compliance, reporting and planning across a diverse group structure.

The role does not require someone to be an expert across every area of tax from day one. It could suit an experienced tax professional seeking a broader in-house position, or someone from an accountancy practice who has gained exposure across personal tax, corporation tax, private clients, trusts or estates and would like to continue developing in these areas.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax compliance
• Preparing and reviewing VAT, CIS and other statutory tax submissions
• Assisting with personal, trust and estate tax matters
• Preparing tax returns, calculations and supporting schedules
• Maintaining accurate records relating to investments, gifts, transfers and asset valuations
• Monitoring tax deadlines, liabilities and upcoming payments
• Supporting tax estimates for budgeting and quarterly reporting
• Assisting with cash flow forecasting relating to tax liabilities
• Liaising with HMRC, external tax advisers and internal stakeholders
• Supporting the Senior Tax Controller with tax planning and advisory work
• Monitoring relevant legislative and regulatory developments
• Explaining tax matters clearly to colleagues outside the finance team

You may currently be working as a:

• Accounts and Tax Senior
• Assistant Accountant with tax responsibilities
• Client Manager within an accountancy practice

• Personal tax or Self Assessment
• Tax returns and statutory submissions
• Trust or estate accounting
• Tax payments and reconciliations
• Working with HMRC or external advisers

Experience across every area is not essential. The organisation is open to candidates with a strong general tax foundation and the ability and enthusiasm to develop further.

Candidates may be ATT, CTA, ACA or ACCA qualified, part qualified, or qualified through relevant practical experience.

Study support and continued professional development can be discussed depending on the successful candidate’s circumstances.
