Job description

Overview

Corporate Tax Assistant Manager / Manager – Guildford, Surrey | Hybrid Working | Advisory-Focused Role

£60,000 – £75,000 + Strong Client Base + Clear Progression

A Corporate Tax Assistant Manager / Manager opportunity in Guildford for an ACA/CTA or ATT/CTA qualified (or on track) tax professional seeking a more advisory-led and autonomous role within a growing and well-regarded accountancy practice.

Fletcher George Recruitment is supporting an expanding firm in Guildford with a strong reputation across Surrey and London - known for its high-quality client base and increasing focus on advisory work.

This is an opportunity to take on a visible, client-facing role working closely with senior leadership, managing your own portfolio and contributing to the firm’s continued growth.

The Role – Corporate Tax Assistant Manager / Manager

As a Corporate Tax Manager, you will take ownership of a varied portfolio including Owner Managed Businesses, SMEs and corporate groups, with a strong emphasis on advisory projects and client interaction.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and reviewing corporate tax compliance across a varied client portfolio
• Supporting and delivering advisory work including restructuring, group planning and tax-efficient structuring
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients, building and developing long-term relationships
• Working closely with Partners and senior stakeholders on complex tax matters
• Identifying planning opportunities and contributing to advisory-led assignments
• Supporting and mentoring junior members of the tax team

This is a highly autonomous role offering the opportunity to take real ownership whilst developing your advisory experience and staff supervisory skills.

About You

You will ideally be ACA/CTA or ATT/CTA qualified (or on track to complete CTA), with experience gained within a UK accountancy practice. If you are moving back into Professional Services after time working in an in-house Corporate Tax role, your application will be very welcome.

You will bring:

• Strong technical knowledge of UK corporate tax
• Experience managing or supporting a client portfolio
• A clear interest in advisory work and client interaction
• A proactive and commercially aware approach
• Confidence working with a high level of autonomy

Salary, Benefits & Working Environment

• £60,000 – £75,000 depending on experience
• Health insurance and other benefits
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Exposure to a strong, advisory-led client portfolio
• Clear progression within a growing firm
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Full support for final stage CTA studies where required

Why This Role Stands Out

Many Corporate Tax professionals in Guildford and the wider Surrey market are seeking roles offering greater autonomy and more meaningful advisory exposure.

This opportunity provides the chance to work closely with decision-makers, build strong client relationships and play an active role in delivering commercial Corporate Tax advice rather than focusing on a heavily biased compliance role.

Location – Guildford, Surrey

This Corporate Tax Assistant Manager / Manager role is based in Guildford, one of Surrey’s key commercial centres with excellent transport links to London and across the South East.

The office is easily accessible from a range of surrounding commuter towns including Woking, Godalming, Farnham, Aldershot, Camberley, Haslemere and Cranleigh, making it a practical option for candidates across a wide catchment area.

Guildford offers a strong professional services network alongside a vibrant town centre, providing an ideal balance for those seeking both career progression and quality of life.
