Corporate Tax Manager | Leading International Consulting Firm

For a leading international consulting firm, I am looking for a Corporate Tax Manager with 5 to 10 years' experience in a similar role. Fluent in Dutch with excellent command of English.

The firm provides industry-leading audit and assurance, tax and legal, consulting and other related services. It is committed to driving innovation across its offerings to help its clients meet their challenges, while providing its employees with opportunities for learning and growth in this period of transformation.

In Belgium, more than 5,000 dedicated professionals in over 10 offices are proud to bring their multidisciplinary expertise to a wide variety of clients, from national and international companies, small, fast-growing and large organisations, to public institutions and government authorities.

The firm's tax division lies at the crossroads of tax, law, business and innovation, so it is subject to constant change. Unlike others, their young and dynamic team of tax and legal specialists thrive on this complexity and see the opportunities. It’s what keeps them sharp. They help clients connect for impact by anticipating change, unlocking the full potential of their people, extracting strategic insights from data, and creating new value through digital technologies.

To assist clients in dealing with the intricacies of tax, the Business Tax team proposes the services of a multi-disciplinary team of specialists (lawyers, economists, accountants, IT-specialist, project managers), who are highly experienced. This experience spans assisting companies with corporate tax compliance, dealing with the complexities of local regulations and procedures - such as communicating with local tax authorities, setting up new registrations and filing returns. 

The firm is currently looking for experienced corporate tax managers to strengthen its Business Tax team, primarily in Ghent, with Antwerp and Zaventem Airport also being options.

The Business Tax team brings expertise in corporate tax, combined with practical experience in its application at national and international level.

• You will develop high-performing people and teams through challenging and meaningful opportunities
• You will understand key objectives for clients and the firm, align people with these objectives, and set priorities and direction

• You hold a master’s degree in law or economics or have equivalent training. A postgraduate degree in tax law is an asset
• You have 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in a similar position (in a consulting or law firm), where you demonstrated technical abilities and business skills
• You are a team player with strong communication skills and an entrepreneurial mindset
• You have excellent commercial and interpersonal skills
• You are fluent in Dutch and have an excellent command of English

• The opportunity to develop your skills by working alongside experts in their field

• An attractive salary package with many fringe benefits
