Job Description & Summary

Our Audit of Tax (AoT) practice sits at the intersection of tax technical

expertise and audit quality. As a core member of our Audit of Tax Specialist

portfolio will be centred on AoT work (50–100% of your time), with the

opportunity to develop a complementary tax advisory portfolio, particularly in

freedom around working pattern), hybrid working (with 40-60% of time expected

co-located with colleagues in office or client sites) and summer working hours

the rest of the week).
