Job Description

We are looking for a specialist Group Tax Reporting professional with deep, hands-on experience of managing the tax reporting cycle for a large, complex multinational group.

This is not a general tax manager role and it is not suited to someone whose experience is primarily in corporation tax compliance, tax advisory, audit or broader financial accounting.

Reporting directly to the Head of Tax, you will take ownership of Endava’s quarterly and annual Group tax reporting and forecasting cycle across its international operations.

The successful candidate will have significant experience in:

• Group consolidated tax reporting
• Quarterly and annual tax provision processes
• Effective tax rate analysis
• Current and deferred tax calculations
• Tax forecasting
• IAS 12 reporting
• Tax disclosures for Group accounts
• Working within a complex multinational reporting environment

Endava is a UK-headquartered, NYSE-listed technology services company operating under IFRS and within a SOX-controlled environment. The role offers substantial technical complexity, global exposure and direct interaction with senior Finance stakeholders and external auditors.

Alongside the core reporting cycle, you will also contribute to areas such as Pillar Two, M&A modelling, Country-by-Country Reporting and tax process transformation. However, the central purpose of the role is clear: to lead and continually improve Group tax reporting.

• Own the quarterly and annual Group tax reporting process across Endava’s international entities.
• Prepare and review consolidated current and deferred tax positions.
• Ensure accurate application of IAS 12 across the Group.
• Analyse and explain movements in the effective tax rate.
• Produce robust tax forecasts and scenario modelling.
• Review tax reporting submissions from local Finance and Tax teams.
• Identify inconsistencies, challenge assumptions and resolve complex reporting issues.
• Prepare and review tax disclosures for Group and statutory accounts.
• Act as the principal point of contact for external auditors on Group tax reporting matters.
• Partner closely with the Head of Tax, Group Finance, Controllership and local teams across multiple jurisdictions.
• Maintain strong controls and documentation within a SOX-compliant environment.
• Improve the accuracy, consistency and efficiency of tax reporting through standardisation and automation.
• Support tax modelling for acquisitions, restructuring and other strategic activity.
• Contribute to Pillar Two reporting, Country-by-Country Reporting and Total Tax Contribution analysis.

Qualifications

What You Bring

• Extensive hands-on experience in Group consolidated tax reporting within a multinational or similarly complex organisation.
• Direct experience of quarterly and annual tax provision processes.
• Strong technical knowledge of IAS 12.
• Detailed experience of current and deferred tax accounting.
• Experience analysing and explaining effective tax rate movements.
• Experience preparing or reviewing tax disclosures for consolidated financial statements.
• Strong understanding of the interaction between tax reporting, Group accounting and statutory reporting.
• Experience working with external auditors on complex tax accounting matters.
• A recognised accounting qualification, such as ACA or ACCA.
• At least four years’ relevant post-qualified experience.

You are likely to be:

• A Group Tax Reporting Manager, Tax Reporting Manager or Tax Accounting Manager within a multinational organisation.
• A specialist in tax accounting and reporting rather than a generalist tax professional.
• Comfortable working with large volumes of data across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
• Technically strong, highly analytical and confident challenging submissions from local teams.
• Able to explain complex tax accounting matters clearly to senior Finance stakeholders.
• Experienced in managing tight quarterly and year-end reporting deadlines.

Desirable Experience (Nice to Have)

• Experience within a listed company.
• Experience operating in a SOX-controlled environment.
• Previous in-house multinational experience.
• Experience with tax reporting systems or deferred tax modelling tools.
• Exposure to Pillar Two reporting.
• Experience modelling the tax impact of M&A activity.

Why Join Endava?

This role offers the opportunity to:

• Work directly with the Head of Tax and take ownership of a critical Group-wide process.
• Operate in a complex, international and listed-company environment.
• Partner with senior Tax and Finance leaders.
• Build greater consistency and technical rigour across a global reporting process.
• Influence the use of technology and automation within the tax function.
• Gain exposure to strategic tax projects while remaining firmly focused on your core specialism.
• Work within a flexible, hybrid environment.

This is a role for someone who has built their career in Group tax reporting and tax accounting and now wants greater ownership, visibility and influence within a global organisation.
