This role will ideally be based from any of our Essex offices including Colchester, Chelmsford, Harlow, Halstead or Leigh on a hybrid working basis

In joining Affinia, you will be part of a growing, successful, forward thinking and dynamic Tax department. As a Tax Senior, this role is about solidifying core technical expertise in your relevant field and applying it consistently to your work.
