Job description

The Opportunity

Looking to take the next step in your tax career without getting lost in a hierarchy or stuck doing the same work on repeat?

We’re working with a growing, forward-thinking accountancy practice that’s looking for a Corporate Tax Assistant Manager or Manager to join their expanding team. This is a great opportunity if you’re ready for more ownership, more client-facing work, and the chance to actually get stuck into interesting tax projects—not just compliance cycles.

You’ll be part of a collaborative and commercially savvy tax team, with room to shape your role depending on where you want to take your career—whether that’s advisory, leadership, or technical expertise.

What You’ll Be Doing

Managing your own portfolio of corporate clients, with support as needed

Owning end-to-end compliance delivery and contributing to advisory projects

Being the go-to person for clients—building strong, long-term relationships

Reviewing tax computations and returns, and helping raise the bar on quality

Spotting tax planning opportunities and collaborating with seniors to deliver value

Mentoring and supporting junior team members—you don’t need to be a “manager” by title to be a great leader

Keeping your knowledge sharp and your clients in the loop with the latest tax changes

What We’re Looking For

Experience in corporate tax (or mixed tax with a strong corporate focus)

Confident managing your own portfolio and client relationships

Someone who thrives in a team environment and likes to share knowledge

Curious, commercially aware, and proactive—you enjoy solving problems, not just ticking boxes

Bonus if you’ve worked with clients across different sectors

What’s In It for You?

A flexible hybrid working setup that actually works

Competitive base salary, plus bonus and full benefits

A modern, people-first culture with a strong focus on wellbeing and growth

Exposure to high-quality clients and the chance to get involved in real advisory work

A clear progression path—whether you're aiming for senior manager or just want more autonomy

A team that values collaboration, individuality, and continuous learning

If you’re ready to do work that matters, grow your career, and enjoy the journey—this could be your next move.
