In Wealthy, our approach is tailored to the risk that is presented by our customers - for those who present the greatest risk, we adopt a more intensive level of scrutiny, working with colleagues across HMRC to critically review all their linked entities including corporates, trusts and charities. Job description The Senior Case Manager role provides an excellent opportunity to be involved in high profile, complex compliance cases within WMBC Wealthy.
