Hiring Manager
Elevate
Dear Hiring Manager,
Tax compliance is a zero-margin business, and I have kept multi-million-pound operations within the lines while identifying cost savings of £300k. Working at Vaco by Highspring, I partnered with finance leaders to prepare financial statements and ensure SOX compliance across six subsidiaries. Elevate's rapid growth requires that same combination of accuracy and strategic foresight.
I lead a team that maintains our £200m revenue footprint across UK, US, and EU jurisdictions, coordinating closely with external auditors and legal advisors. Our monthly close cycle is consistently three days faster than industry benchmarks, enabling leadership to make informed decisions.
The automation initiatives I championed reduced manual reconciliation work by 40%, giving analysts more time for scenario planning rather than spreadsheet drudgery. I am fluent in the tech stacks that modern finance teams use, from NetSuite to Power BI.
Elevate's commitment to responsible growth resonates with my own values. I would welcome the chance to ensure that your tax strategy keeps pace with expansion while minimising risk.
I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss your goals for the tax function and how I can support them. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Jamie V.
