      Oct 2006 - Oct 2009
      Account Manager

      In this employment I gained a varied exposure to all aspects an accountancy practice has to offer. The work undertaken was been varied in nature and level of complexities and includes preparation of VAT returns, accounts preparation, tax returns and compliance with statutory obligations. Furthermore, I undertook audit planning and testing, including visits to clients premises. In the three years I spent at the practice, I also provided advanced tax advice including dealing with Inland Revenue enquiries, advice concerning tax efficient remuneration plans, exercising the use of trusts and completion of an incorporation and de-merger. Generally my time was split between accounts production and taxation work with equal emphasis, with added time spent where required to meet targets and deadlines. I have had various exposures to negotiations with the Inland Revenue and with external tax consultants. Show less
