An opportunity to take your corporate tax career further

An established and growing accountancy practice is looking for an experienced Corporate Tax Manager to join its Manchester team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys combining technical expertise, client advisory work and relationship management, while working with a varied portfolio of businesses.

You'll work closely with privately owned businesses, groups and larger corporate clients, providing practical tax advice and helping clients navigate increasingly complex tax matters.

What will you be doing?

Your role will include:

• Managing a varied portfolio of corporate tax clients.
• Overseeing corporate tax compliance assignments from start to finish.
• Reviewing corporation tax computations and returns.
• Providing corporate tax advisory support to clients.
• Advising on group structures, reorganisations and transactions.
• Supporting clients with acquisitions, disposals and other commercial activity.
• Identifying tax planning opportunities and additional advisory work.
• Building strong relationships with clients and becoming a trusted point of contact.
• Working alongside accounts, audit and wider advisory teams.
• Reviewing and developing work prepared by more junior members of the team.
• Supporting the development and mentoring of junior staff.
• Contributing to business development and the continued growth of the tax team.

The clients

You'll work with a broad range of businesses, potentially including:

• Take ownership of an established client portfolio.
• Increase your exposure to advisory work.
• Develop trusted client relationships.
• Work alongside experienced tax professionals.
