Customs Partner – Top UK Accounting Firm

In the realm of partner opportunities, some positions let you inherit, and then some enable you to build an empire. We’re offering you both. Harvey John has been exclusively retained by a hugely reputable UK accountancy firm to identify a visionary leader to become their next Customs Partner.

Let’s walk you through the opportunity…

The Landscape:

When you work at the Big 4 or other Top Tier firms, you’re typically there to just cover the clients they have – and perhaps you’ll do a bit of expansion. But even when you do, you need to stay in your lane.

Why pursue this more limited scope when you can:

1. take charge of an already successful customs team that needs a new leader;
2. take the reign of an already expansive service that is distinguished in the market;
3. have the autonomy to grow this function as you see fit.

From virtual customs management to strategic advisory and success-based claims, you’ll inherit a unique customs offering based in Scotland and will have room to really test your abilities in growing this business.

The Portfolio:

There is a canvas to create, innovate, and become the face of customs here.

The client portfolio you’ll inherit is typically generalist but you’ll find that a niche has been carved out across the retail and fashion space (so experience here would go a long way – though it’s certainly not essential).

What will also become apparent are the sheer number of opportunities arising around customs warehousing, which would certainly benefit from any further experience that you can add.

The Stage:

As a Customs Partner who sits in the national indirect tax team, you’ll immediately leverage upon an all-encompassing indirect tax service line and network as one of your tools to build.

Beyond the indirect tax team, you’ll be part of a firm with an insatiable appetite for growth. Their commitment to expansion is not just a vision; it’s a reality, unfolding both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

This is a stage for those ready to embark on a journey of both substantial professional growth and play a key role in this firm climbing the accountancy rankings.

Next Steps:

Most partnership roles will see you running a function, but this really is an opportunity for you to lead and expand. You’ll be the face of customs.
