As a Tax Advisory Officer, you will be responsible for preparing tax returns of average complexity and delivering high-quality, consistent, and cost-effective advisory services.

• Collaborate closely with Client Service Officers to ensure the advice is implemented effectively.
• Utilize required systems and processes to manage client matters and suggest improvements.
• Respond to client queries regarding changes to legislation or regulatory requirements.
