Job description

Glasgow or Edinburgh | Hybrid Working | Up to £50,000 + Benefits

Are you ready to take more ownership of your corporate tax career?

Lusona is working with a leading UK professional services firm looking to appoint a Corporate Tax Assistant Manager to its growing Private Capital team in Scotland.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply delivering compliance. You’ll manage your own portfolio of high-quality clients, build direct relationships with them and identify the advisory opportunities that naturally arise from understanding their businesses.

The client base is a major attraction. You’ll work with a broad mix of owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed companies and larger corporate groups, covering corporation tax compliance alongside specialist claims, tax accounting and advisory projects, including financing and transactions.

The opportunity

You’ll take responsibility for managing your own portfolio, becoming a key point of contact for clients and working closely with Partners and Directors. You’ll also review work prepared by junior colleagues and support their ongoing development.

Importantly, this isn’t a role where you’ll be pigeonholed into compliance. Your portfolio gives you the platform to spot issues and opportunities and become involved in the advisory work that spins out of those relationships.

There is also a strong commercial element to the position. As you develop, you’ll have opportunities to build your network, contribute to business development and become involved in pitches and proposals.

Why consider it?

The combination of client quality, autonomy and progression makes this particularly attractive. You’ll benefit from:

• Salary of up to £50,000, depending on experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package
• Choice of Glasgow or Edinburgh
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Your own portfolio rather than operating purely as a delivery resource
• A varied mix of corporate tax compliance and advisory
• Exposure to an impressive private capital and mid-market client base
• Direct interaction with senior members of the tax team
• Excellent scope for career progression
• An equity share scheme, providing the opportunity to buy into the wider business
• Structured development, coaching and a benefits package including pension, private medical and life assurance

What are we looking for?

You’ll already have experience within UK Corporate Tax, ideally gained within an accountancy or professional services firm, and be ready to take greater ownership of client relationships and your career.

You are likely to be CA, ATT and/or CTA qualified, with experience managing corporate tax compliance work. Experience reviewing junior colleagues’ work, tax accounting/audit of tax or broader advisory work would be advantageous.

You certainly don’t need to arrive as the finished article. What matters is that you have a solid corporate tax grounding, are commercially minded and want to develop into a more rounded adviser. Study support provided for those looking to either complete exams or commence study towards CTA.
