Our client is a Top 20 accountancy firm and this role will be based in their Leeds office. They seek a Corporate Tax specialist at Manager level. The successful candidate will be part of the Corporate Tax team, responsible for managing a diverse client portfolio, encompassing the delivery of both corporate tax compliance and advisory services.

This is a challenging and interesting client facing role, which will include exposure to a range of both UK and international clients. The mix of work will be varied as the client base of the corporate tax team is across a diverse range of business sectors within the local market.

Frequently dealing with challenging technical issues, the candidate can expect the role to encompass the following areas amongst others:

• Responsibility for the efficient delivery of the tax compliance process including tax accounting;

• Detailed technical research and responding to ad-hoc technical queries from clients and other teams;

• Helping to identify and deliver advisory opportunities within the allocated client portfolio;

• Supervising, mentoring, and reviewing the work of junior team members;

• Advising on a range of technical areas such as complex capital allowances claims, R&D tax relief, transfer pricing, Substantial Shareholdings Exemption, Controlled Foreign Companies, Corporate Interest Restriction, Withholding Tax and Double Taxation Relief, with the support of specialist colleagues where required; and

• Support in stand-alone tax advisory projects, including structuring acquisitions and disposals, transaction support and due diligence

The role would suit a qualified individual (for example ACA/ACCA/CTA) with several years post qualification experience in corporation tax and the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Strong UK tax technical skills;

• Ability to analyse tax technical queries and provide robust advice and solutions;

• Project management skills, with the ability to plan and prioritise work, meet deadlines and monitor budgets;

• Responsibility for the delivery and quality of work;

• Excellent communication skills;

• A clear client focus with a commitment to building strong client relationships;

• Ability to work collaboratively in different teams; and

• Coaching and mentoring skills to develop other team members.

Ongoing training will be provided, with the opportunity for the individual to attend both internal and external training sessions. The firm will consider a part-time or full-time appointment and flexible working is possible. This is a growing team and there is clear scope for promotion. Excellent salary and benefits package too, including family friendly policies.
