Job description

Our Peterborough office is looking for a pro-active corporate tax advisory Manager/Senior Manager to join our growing and dynamic corporate tax team, providing direct support on corporate tax advisory projects.

The role

The advisory work will be varied, covering a diverse client base across sectors such as property, innovation, landed estates, financial services, and not-for-profit.

You will engage in tax planning and advisory projects, including structuring acquisitions, disposals, group reorganisations, due diligence, property and land transactions, capital allowance claims, and R&D tax credits.

The role includes staff responsibilities and work planning, with most reporting directly to a corporate tax partner or director.

Ongoing training will be provided, with opportunities for internal and external sessions. The role offers a range of work suited for candidates with a solid corporate tax advisory background.

The team

Our Southern Regional Group comprises four offices in Bristol, Peterborough, Bournemouth, and High Wycombe, with over 30 corporate tax staff, including two Partners, three Directors, and five Senior Managers.

This position is based in Peterborough, with opportunities to work across all four offices.

You

Candidates should be proactive, resilient, and able to market their skills and the firm's. They should be innovative, confident, professional, commercially minded, and perceptive of client needs.

Recent practical experience advising owner-managed businesses, with detailed knowledge of corporate tax issues, is required. Technical skills are important, but a team-oriented, flexible personality, problem-solving ability, and initiative are equally essential. The candidate must understand the tax issues of private companies from both structural and ownership perspectives.

Applicants should preferably be CTA and/or ACA/ACCA qualified.

Salary/Benefits

• A 35-hour workweek with hybrid working (up to three days from home), core hours 10-4
• Benefits including contributory pension, 25 days annual leave, Life Assurance, flexible benefits, and family-friendly policies
• Eligibility for Profit-Sharing Plan (paid in December)
• Discretionary bonus scheme eligibility
