VAT Manager - Advisory - Hybrid

VAT/Indirect Tax Manager (Advisory Hybrid)

London (Hybrid - typically 2-3 days in office)
Highly advisory focus Minimal compliance Excellent work-life balance
Are you a VAT Manager or Assistant Manager looking for more advisory work, greater flexibility, and a genuinely supportive team culture?
We're hiring on behalf of a leading professional services firm with a strong reputation. This is a hybrid role within an established, collaborative VAT team offering broad exposure to complex advisory work across clients - with minimal compliance and no timesheets.

What's in it for you?

• Flexible hybrid model - typically 2-3 days in-office
• Almost entirely advisory work - real variety, minimal compliance
• Supportive culture - no micromanagement, real focus on work-life balance
• Highly respected firm - well-established client base with plenty of big names
• Opportunities to grow - contribute to BD, develop technically, and progress

What you'll be doing:

• Delivering tailored VAT advice to FS clients (and occasionally other sectors)
• Managing a portfolio and building strong client relationships
• Supporting or leading advisory projects - reviews, DDs, partial exemption
• Liaising with HMRC on technical matters
• Helping with BD: attending events, preparing marketing material, and leading on pitches

What we're looking for:

• VAT advisory experience
• Strong communicator - clear, client-friendly advice
• Confident managing your own time and client work
• Experience in a professional services firm is ideal
• Relevant qualifications (e.g. CTA, ACA, ACCA) are a plus but not a necessity
