The role will subsequently lead into managing client projects through full life-cycle implementations of VAT systems and enhancements, from the requirement gathering stage onto the design/build phase and through to the testing and go-live stages.

Other add-on services that the practice can offer include product support and training.
This role will initially be on a stand-alone basis, with the support of teams within the practice based in other countries. It is envisaged that in time the Director will hire in additional IT/indirect tax resource locally.
