Finance and
Performance,
Planning & Risk

What the work entails

Our financial services are vital not only to the everyday running of HMRC, but to building a trusted, modern tax and customs department for the future.

We work collaboratively together across our diverse finance teams and with colleagues across the organisation to meet our objectives.

We help to build a safer HMRC by setting robust and effective systems and processes that protect the department and all who depend on it, whilst being easy to comply with.

We contribute to the smoother running of HMRC by providing the services that the rest of the organisation depend on as seamlessly as possible.

To enable us to do this we are supporting and building a professional, empowered, and inclusive finance function. Working with people right across HMRC, to be our best not only today, but over the coming years.

Working in Finance and Performance, Planning & Risk

Whilst there are a variety of Finance roles within Customer Strategy & Tax Design (CS&TD) one of our key objectives is to monitor spend in preparation for the monthly forecast updates.

We brief Directors and Senior Leadership teams on the latest financial forecast, any risk or opportunities presented and any remedial action required if pressures arise.

It’s quite a broad and varied role that impacts all we do in CS&TD with never a dull moment!

Just some of the work that CS&TD Finance are responsible for includes:

• Securing funding to resource CS&TD activity
• Spending planning
• Operating our financial, performance and risk management processes
• Coordinating our contribution to the HMRC Outcome Delivery Plan
• Group target setting and performance tracking of our Cabinet Office/ExCom and Group level deliverables reporting and metrics
• Managing the coordination of CS&TD contribution to HMRC’s annual report and accounts
