Job Title: VAT Senior Manager | Job Location: Glasgow
Your new company
Join a well-established and forward-thinking firm of Chartered Accountants based in Glasgow, known for its client-centric approach and strong presence across Scotland. The firm offers a full spectrum of accountancy, audit, tax, and advisory services, and is recognised for its technical excellence and collaborative culture. As part of its continued growth, the firm is looking to appoint a VAT Senior Manager to lead and develop its indirect tax offering. This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a high-impact role within a respected and ambitious practice.
As VAT Senior Manager, you will be the go-to expert for all matters relating to indirect tax, providing strategic advice to a diverse client base across sectors including healthcare, education, charities, property, and professional services. You will lead client engagements, manage complex advisory projects, and support compliance work where needed. The role also involves mentoring junior staff, contributing to business development, and working closely with partners to shape the firm’s VAT strategy. You’ll have the autonomy to grow the VAT function and make a meaningful contribution to the firm’s wider tax offering. What you'll need to succeed
You will be an experienced VAT specialist with a strong technical grounding and a proven ability to deliver high-quality advice. Ideally, you’ll be CTA qualified or hold an equivalent tax qualification, with experience gained in a professional services environment. Strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to build trusted relationships with clients are essential. Experience advising on partial exemption, land and property, and cross-border VAT issues will be highly valued. What you'll get in return
This is a senior leadership role offering genuine scope for progression and influence. You’ll benefit from a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working arrangements, and a supportive environment that encourages innovation and professional growth. The firm prides itself on its inclusive culture and commitment to developing its people, making this an ideal opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their VAT career. What you need to do now
