1Question

Describe a time when you had to manage a large and complex compliance portfolio under tight deadlines

During year-end 2023, I inherited a portfolio of 85 partnership entities with just 8 weeks until filing deadlines. The previous manager had left incomplete workpapers and several Double Tax Relief claims were outstanding. I immediately prioritised by tax liability size, focusing first on the 12 partnerships with liabilities exceeding £500K each. I implemented a daily progress tracking system and allocated 3 junior staff to data collection while I handled the complex international computations. By working systematically through each entity and maintaining clear communication with partners, we achieved 100% on-time filing and secured £1.8M in additional relief claims that had been overlooked.
2Question

Tell me about a process improvement you implemented that enhanced tax compliance efficiency

I identified that our composite non-resident return process was taking 14 days per entity due to manual data extraction from multiple systems. I researched tax technology solutions and proposed implementing automated data feeds from our partnership system directly into tax software. After securing £15K budget approval, I led the 6-week implementation, training 4 team members on the new workflow. The result was a 65% reduction in processing time to 5 days per return, freeing up 120 hours annually for higher-value advisory work. Client satisfaction scores increased from 7.2 to 8.9 due to faster turnaround times.
