Your clients are likely to include large listed companies (outside of the FTSE 100) and medium sized inbound corporate groups. Our client base includes a significant number of non-audit clients.
The role will be primarily focussed on advising corporate groups within the real estate sector on various tax matters, including Stamp Taxes. However, there are also opportunities for undertaking work in sectors such as not for profit and energy, as well as gaining experience in partnership tax, research & development and international structuring work.
You will be encouraged to shape and actively manage your career development through involvement in a broad variety of work.
To date, our marketing strategies have been extremely effective in expanding the client base, and we now need further resources to continue an impressive growth story.
Key skills
• In this role, strong interpersonal and technical skills are a must as is the ability to take a lead role with clients and work independently.

- Taking ownership of managing and controlling deliverables and deadlines, handling day to day queries and building to establish a role as the trusted/primary point of contact
- Reviewing a wide variety of corporate returns linked with your own client allocation whilst considering whether any tax planning opportunities arise.
The inbound and listed team is a fast growing area in PwC and therefore offers room for progression for the right candidate. We have a large and impressive client base and have a highly motivated team of people providing these services.
