Job description

Corporate Tax Manager – Glasgow

Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits | Hybrid Working

Looking for a Corporate Tax Manager role where you can do more than oversee compliance?

We're working with a well-established and growing accountancy and advisory firm in Glasgow that is looking to appoint a Corporate Tax Manager as part of its continued investment in its Scottish tax practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious corporate tax professional who enjoys building client relationships, providing commercially focused advice and playing a meaningful role in the development of a growing team.

You’ll join a substantial, multi-disciplinary practice with an established client base, strong partner involvement and the resources to support your continued career development.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of corporate clients, predominantly within the Scottish SME market, combining responsibility for tax compliance with opportunities to deliver proactive planning and advisory work.

Working closely with Partners and Directors, you’ll have the autonomy to manage client relationships, identify opportunities to add value and contribute to the wider growth of the tax practice.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a varied portfolio of corporate tax clients, overseeing compliance, computations and returns.
• Providing proactive corporate tax planning and commercially focused advice.
• Identifying opportunities to minimise tax liabilities and support clients with their wider business objectives.
• Building strong, lasting relationships with clients, acting as a trusted adviser.
• Reviewing work prepared by junior colleagues, providing technical guidance and supporting their development.
• Working alongside Partners and Directors on more complex tax matters and advisory opportunities.
• Managing portfolio profitability, workflow and recoverability.
• Contributing to business development and the continued growth of the corporate tax offering.

About You

We're keen to speak with experienced Corporate Tax professionals currently working at Manager level, as well as ambitious Assistant Managers who are ready to take the next step.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• CTA qualification or an equivalent level of professional expertise.
• Strong UK corporate tax compliance experience, with the ability to identify and deliver tax planning opportunities.
• Experience managing client relationships within an accountancy practice environment.
• The confidence to review work, mentor colleagues and take ownership of a client portfolio.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach and a genuine interest in developing your advisory capabilities.

You don't need to have done everything already. What's important is having a strong technical foundation, the confidence to take responsibility and the ambition to develop further.

What's on Offer?

• Salary up to £65,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 30 days with service.
• Option to buy or sell additional annual leave.
• Competitive pension scheme and life assurance.
• Access to private medical insurance.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity benefits.
• Electric car and cycle-to-work schemes.
• A collaborative working environment with genuine opportunities for professional development.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

For someone looking to progress beyond a predominantly compliance-focused role, this position offers an attractive balance of technical responsibility, client exposure and advisory work.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact within a growing tax practice, working directly with senior decision-makers while developing your own portfolio and supporting the next generation of tax professionals.
