Graduate - Global Compliance and Reporting, EMEIA Tax Centre Belfast

Job description

The Opportunity

Tax touches every aspect of our lives and is one of the largest items of expense any organisation or individual has to consider. On top of that, current issues such as the reform of international taxation, tax transparency, and the way in which we and our clients are using disruptive technology mean that there has never been a more exciting time to start a career in Tax.

 

Our EMEIA Tax Centre (ETC) practice operates as a virtual hub of highly specialized tax professionals from across EMEIA with a primary focus of expanding our service capability and speed to market for Priority Accounts. Our tax professionals help clients in the UK and overseas meet complex demands for tax reporting, compliance, planning and tax controversy; they look to us to help create value and achieve sustainable outcomes.

 

Many of our clients are seeking to centralize their own processes and systems through a finance transformation process, transferring more tasks and activities to Global Shared Service Centres.  The need to comply with regulatory requirement remains and the ETC Global Compliance & Reporting (GCR) team provide large complex clients with globally integrated outsource contracts.
