We need someone with extensive VAT experience and someone who ideally has an ATT or CTT certification. You will also be strong with Excel. This is purely internal and client facing advisory including VAT Compliance, Reporting and Tracking, along with doing quarterly VAT returns.

If you are working within a VAT role at the moment, but not within a Practice, this is actually preferable.
