Constable VAT is one of the largest independent VAT consultancy firms in the UK

Location: Essex/Suffolk with opportunity for office/home working split

We are currently seeking experienced VAT consultants to join Constable VAT Consultancy as permanent members of our team. We would welcome applications from VAT specialists with at least 4 years’ experience gained either in practice or HMRC.

Constable is a long-established successful VAT consultancy with partners who have worked within HMRC and in the accountancy sector. We advise businesses including large multinational companies, OMBs and not for profits and our work covers many sectors including construction, land and property, charity issues, financial services and partial exemption and cross border supplies. We seek to optimise each client’s outcomes and minimise risk. As a consultant we would expect a team member to be involved with most areas and there is opportunity to develop new knowledge and expertise as well as utilising the experience already gained.

We have adapted well to the recent challenges of working from home and had the infrastructure and support needed to immediately switch to this mode of working. Going forwards, there will be the opportunity for a split between home and office working as we are keen to continue to support part home working where this suits team members. Our office is on the Essex/Suffolk border near Dedham which offers a pleasant working environment with easy access from the A12 and ample free parking.

Ideally, you will hold a VAT related qualification such as ATT, CTA, AIIT, HMRC’s VAT Legal and Technical qualification or BTEC in VAT Assurance, however, candidates demonstrating that they have the relevant experience and aptitude are also encouraged to apply and support to obtain professional qualifications is available.

Constable offers a professional but relaxed working environment. The right candidate will have real opportunity to progress. Our recent promotions to partner were from team members who were originally consultants within the business. We actively seek to reward success with a twice-yearly performance related bonus cycle.

If you are interested please send your CV by email to Robert Thorpe at robert.thorpe@constablevat.com

Commencing each September a Trainee will be offered a starting salary of between £14,000 to £24,000 pa (depending on qualifications and experience) plus a training package worth £7,000 pa. Applicants applying to join straight from college are likely to join an Apprentice Scheme, details of which can be found via this link. University graduates will follow a training programme with an external provider.

The successful applicant will have at least 3 A levels (grades B or above) and 8 GCSEs including Maths and English at grade A or B.

CV’s can be posted to our Dedham address or emailed to helen.carey@constablevat.com.
