Our Belfast office is a successful and growing one thanks to a large and varied client base ranging from multinational listed businesses to start ups, owner managed to private equity / entrepreneurial venture backed, covering various sectors. The role means we can offer you the opportunity to gain experience of the mid-market and enhance your skills working with national and international businesses.

The opportunity

As a part of our Belfast-based business tax advisory team, you’ll provide a full range of business tax advisory services. You’ll be working alongside specialists on a day-to-day basis to broaden your experience of different business tax areas to help our clients through the challenges of tax planning both UK and international and to provide support on merger and acquisitions transactions both from a tax due diligence and a tax structuring point of view. The varied work, which encompasses all business tax advisory matters that include corporate and shareholder reorganisations, corporate restructuring, corporate acquisitions and disposals (with a particular focus on tax due diligence and tax structuring projects), refinancing, BEPS and international tax, means ultimately this role will offer broad experience with significant exposure to senior stakeholders, responsibility in key decisions and a more varied portfolio to help you develop your career with EY.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and coordinate the successful delivery of business tax advisory services for tax advisory projects, ensuring technical excellence and a practical, business-driven approach.
• Build and maintain tax relationships with clients, providing exceptional client service with high-quality deliverables that demonstrate value.
• Develop relationships within the firm to identify opportunities and provide deep specialist assistance to clients.
• Contribute significantly to winning new work by proactively managing existing clients and building relationships in the business community to secure projects with new clients.
• Provide coaching and support to junior team members, aiding their development on client and project work and through personal growth.

Skills and Attributes for Success:

Business development is a strong foundation for this role, requiring robust client relationship-building abilities, confidence, and skills to win and retain work. You will also play an important role in helping our managers support our teams and mentoring them as they develop their skills and careers—a highly rewarding feat for you.

To Qualify for the Role, You Must:

• Be an experienced senior manager with UK corporate tax experience.
• Have experience in managing, coordinating, and working on business tax advisory projects and transactions, including business restructuring and reorganization projects, tax due diligence, and tax structuring projects for corporate acquisitions. A solid UK corporate tax compliance background and experience in international tax matters are also preferable.
• Possess up-to-date knowledge of changes in the tax environment (BEPS, CBCR, etc.).
• Have a proven track record in business development with existing clients and new targets.
• Have experience in managing and coaching others.
• Demonstrate excellent project management skills and the ability to deliver financial metrics.
• Exhibit the ability to solve problems creatively and pragmatically.
