About the Role
Enso Recruitment are delighted to be working with a highly regarded professional services organisation who are continuing to grow their specialist tax team and are now looking to bring an experienced R&D Tax Financial Analyst on board.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity for a detail-driven finance professional who wants to develop genuine specialist expertise in a niche and growing area of tax.
Working closely with a team of experienced R&D Managers, you'll take ownership of the financial preparation of R&D tax relief claims across a diverse portfolio of clients. From collating and analysing data through to reconciliation and presenting qualifying expenditure.
It's a role that suits someone who is highly organised, comfortable working with complex financial data, and confident managing multiple deadlines across a busy client portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
- Collate financial information from clients including payroll reports, general ledger data, invoices, contractor schedules, and project cost records
- Prepare R&D claim cost schedules across relevant expenditure categories including staff costs, subcontractors, software, cloud computing, and consumables
- Reconcile claim figures to client accounting records including management accounts, payroll records, and Corporation Tax schedules
- Support apportionment calculations where costs relate to both qualifying and non-qualifying R&D activities
- Document assumptions, methodologies, and evidence used to support financial values included in each claim
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or unsupported costs in client data, raising queries with R&D Managers or client finance teams as appropriate
- Maintain clear working papers and evidence packs to support internal review and potential HMRC enquiry responses
- Work across multiple client files simultaneously, ensuring claim costings are accurate and delivered within agreed deadlines
