The work we do

Our financial services are essential to the every day running of HMRC. They also help build a trusted, modern tax and customs department for the future.

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.

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

While 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 actions needed to manage pressures.

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 and ExCom and Group level deliverables reporting and metrics
• managing the coordination of CS&TD contribution to HMRC’s annual report and accounts
• working with Internal Audit
