[Hiring] Tax Accountant @GoGlobal

Role Description

GoGlobal is establishing an in-house UK corporate tax and VAT capability to support a growing portfolio of clients. The role combines hands-on tax compliance delivery with technical support to the business-development process.

The postholder prepares and reviews UK Corporation Tax and VAT returns and files them with HMRC to deadline, while maintaining the supporting accounting records. In addition, the postholder provides technical tax input to the sales process, including scoping client requirements, estimating effort and supporting proposals and pricing, and advises clients across corporate tax and VAT.

The role sits within the Accounting, Tax & Payments function and reports to the Regional Product Owner (EMEA). Two positions are available, at Senior and Junior level, to provide cover, resilience and a route for progression. The working language is English and no additional language is required, giving access to a broad candidate pool from UK practice and industry.

GoGlobal acts as its clients’ UK tax agent, and is registered with HMRC and supervised for anti-money-laundering purposes in accordance with HMRC’s Standard for Agents. The postholder operates within this framework.

Qualifications

• Qualified in UK corporate tax and VAT: ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians), or qualified by experience in corporate tax and VAT compliance.
• No statutory licence is required in the United Kingdom to prepare or file Corporation Tax or VAT returns. A chartered-accountant qualification (ACA or ACCA) or CPA is not required, as this is a tax role rather than an audit role.
• CTA (Chartered Tax Adviser) is desirable, particularly for the Senior position. Candidates for the Junior position may be ATT-qualified or part-qualified and studying.
• GoGlobal provides the anti-money-laundering supervision and HMRC agent registration; the postholder is expected to meet fit-and-proper standards and to work within HMRC’s Standard for Agents.

• Familiarity with HMRC online services, Making Tax Digital and Companies House filings, and competence with tax and accounting software (for example Alphatax, Digita, CCH, TaxCalc, Xero or Sage).
• Commercial awareness and a client-facing manner, with the confidence to support business development through scoping, pricing and client meetings.
• Strong written and spoken English, and a well-organised, accurate and deadline-driven approach.
• The right to work in the United Kingdom.

Benefits

• A company small enough for your voice to be heard meaningfully, yet large enough to make a global impact.
• Collaborating with a diverse, global and supportive team.
• Built for the long-haul - no VC or PE pressure, just a focus on sustainable growth.
