THE TEAM AND THE OPPORTUNITY

Our working world is rapidly evolving, and with that evolution comes unprecedented opportunities for businesses to adapt, expand, grow and transform. EYs tax practice combines agility, diverse thought, tax technical depth and the power of technology and analytics to provide exceptional value to clients. In a rapidly changing business and tax environment, we develop dynamic leaders who, through innovative thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit, make a positive impact on the working world as trusted business advisors.
Our Financial Services Organisation (FSO) is a unique, industry focused practice and the only one of its kind in a Big 4 firm. Tax is at the heart of our market offering. As a Tax Manager you will be part of this story and will have responsibility for advising our high-profile clients as they navigate the sea of international tax change, all the while building your profile as a trusted business advisor.
Tax is a fast paced and evolving discipline, and with the rapid growth in services clients require, and our business expanding to support that, we are looking for people who can operate across a wide range of areas. Working in tax at EY is about being a trusted business advisor to your clients, understanding and meeting their needs in a way that is right for them. You’ll be given the opportunity to be a core member of our team, meeting with high profile clients to understand and help shape their agenda.
You will be at the forefront of managing both the impact of global tax law change, and also how tax is delivered as a service offering to clients, supported by cutting edge analytics, automation and robotics.
