Grant Thornton is part of a fast-growing and rapidly evolving international platform, bringing together specialist teams across the UK, Ireland, the US and an expanding global network of member firms. This creates opportunities for our people to work on complex, cross-border assignments, collaborate with leading specialists across the network and build expertise across the full spectrum of UK and international tax services. From Belfast, our team supports a diverse client base that includes owner-managed businesses, large corporates and multinational groups, giving our people exposure to some of the most interesting and complex tax challenges in the market while benefiting from the scale, resources and opportunities of a growing international platform
Against this backdrop, the Grant Thornton Advisors (NI) Tax Team brings together over 100 specialists with deep industry, sector and technical knowledge. Within this wider platform, our Employer Solutions team advises a broad range of clients on employment taxes, reward, payroll and workforce-related matters, helping businesses manage risk, meet their compliance obligations and support their people strategy in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
The Employer Solutions team works with clients across that diverse base, from owner-managed businesses to large corporates and multinational groups. A key part of our offering involves supporting transaction-related work, working alongside our Transaction Tax Advisory team to help clients identify, manage and navigate employment tax issues that arise before, during and after a transaction. This gives our people the opportunity to be involved in some of the most interesting and high-profile deals in the market, while continuing to deliver broader Employer Solutions advisory services.
As our business continues to grow and client demand increases, we are investing in the continued development of both our Employer Solutions and Transaction Tax Advisory capabilities in Belfast. This role will build on the close working relationship between the two teams, helping clients receive integrated, commercially focused advice across both employer tax and transaction-related matters.
We are therefore seeking to recruit an Associate Director to join our Employer Solutions team in Belfast. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and commercially focused tax professional to lead complex employer tax engagements, develop key client relationships, support business development activities and contribute to the continued growth of the practice. The successful candidate will also play a key role in supporting our Transaction Tax Advisory team, leading the employment tax aspects of transactions and helping clients navigate tax issues throughout the transaction life-cycle.
As an Associate Director, you will work closely with Directors and Partners to deliver high-quality, commercially focused advice to clients. Your primary focus will be Employer Solutions work, including advisory, compliance, risk management and client relationship leadership, while also supporting transaction projects where specialist employment tax input is required. You will oversee multiple engagements, develop junior team members, identify opportunities to expand client relationships and play a key role in the continued growth of both the Employer Solutions and wider Belfast Tax practice.
