Corporate Tax Director Birmingham Advisory-Led Growth Opportunity

Hybrid Working Birmingham Circa £100,000 + Benefits

I'm working with a fast-growing advisory and accountancy firm to recruit a Corporate Tax Director into their Birmingham office.

This is a rare opportunity to join a business with significant growth ambitions and play a leading role in shaping the future of its Corporate Tax offering. With increasing demand for advisory work and a clear need to strengthen senior leadership within the tax team, this position offers the chance to make a genuine impact while building a long-term route towards Partner.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional Corporate Tax role.

The firm is looking for an entrepreneurial tax leader who can help drive the transition from a predominantly compliance-focused service towards a broader, advisory-led proposition.

You'll work closely with senior leadership to develop capabilities, grow client relationships, and support the continued expansion of the tax function. There is significant scope to influence the direction of the team, develop service lines, and become a visible figure both internally and externally.

For the right individual, there is a genuine opportunity to help build something and establish themselves as a key part of the firm's future leadership team.

The Firm

This founder-led advisory firm has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality work while maintaining a collaborative and people-focused culture.

Known for its ambitious growth plans and entrepreneurial mindset, the business has developed a reputation as a genuine alternative within the mid-market advisory space. The culture is energetic, commercial, and built around individuals who want to contribute, challenge ideas, and play an active role in the firm's continued success.

With multiple offices across the UK and ambitious expansion plans over the coming years, the business continues to invest heavily in both its people and service offerings.

The Role

As Corporate Tax Director, you'll play a pivotal role in developing and growing the Corporate Tax function while maintaining high levels of client service across a broad range of advisory projects.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading Corporate Tax advisory projects across a varied client portfolio
• Supporting the development of a more advisory-focused tax offering
• Working closely with senior leadership to expand service lines and technical capabilities
• Acting as a trusted adviser to clients on complex corporate tax matters
• Supporting clients through transactions, restructuring projects, and strategic tax planning exercises
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Becoming a visible presence within the Birmingham office and wider business
• Supporting business development activity and identifying new opportunities
• Mentoring, developing, and inspiring junior members of the tax team
• Driving technical excellence and helping to shape the future direction of the department

What You'll Need

• ACA, ACCA and/or CTA qualified
• Strong Corporate Tax advisory experience gained within practice
• Experience operating at Senior Manager, Director, or equivalent level
• Broad technical knowledge across Corporate Tax
• Experience advising owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurial clients
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
• Commercial awareness and a business development mindset
• Leadership experience with a passion for developing people
• Ambition to help grow and shape a tax function
• Exposure to areas such as international tax, transactions, share schemes, or M&A tax would be advantageous

Benefits

• Salary circa £100,000
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Genuine pathway towards Partner
• Significant influence over the future direction of the Corporate Tax team
• Strong exposure to high-value advisory work
• Opportunity to help build and develop service lines
• Direct access to senior leadership and decision-makers
• Business development and practice growth opportunities
• Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture
• Opportunity to join a rapidly growing firm with ambitious expansion plans
• Excellent long-term career prospects for an ambitious tax leader
