A rapidly growing Lloyd’s of London insurance firm is looking to appoint their first Group Tax Manager to in-house the company’s tax operations. The firm, formed this side turn of the century, has in recent years succeeded in being appointed Managing Agency status, and with their well-respected board of directors looks to continue its impressive growth.

- Act as business partner with Big 4 advisor support on tax implications for company activity e.g. M&A and international expansion
- Managing the relationship with HMRC
- Assist with outsourced VAT compliance, with a view to in-housing in the future with another tax hire
Requirements:
- Insurance experience is the most important requirement here, with Lloyd’s insurance being a large plus

- Proven knowledge of UK corporation tax compliance and reporting
