Job description

Corporate Tax Senior

Location: Birmingham (Hybrid)

Salary: £40,000 - £55,000 + Strong Benefits + Route to Manager

Firm: Fast-Growth, Partner-Led, Nationally Ranked

Feeling boxed in at your current firm?

Maybe you’re stuck on the compliance conveyor belt. Or you’ve hit a ceiling with no clear next step. Perhaps you’re craving more variety, more advisory, or more meaningful client interaction.

Whatever the reason, this is the kind of opportunity that speaks to ambitious corporate tax professionals who know they’ve got more to offer.

This firm is one of the fastest-growing and most respected names outside the Big 4, combining a national platform with a genuinely partner-led culture. They’ve just launched a brand-new Birmingham office, and they’re building out a tax team that’s all about quality work—not just chasing chargeables.

The Role

You’ll work closely with managers and partners to deliver a blend of compliance and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of OMBs and fast-growth businesses. Your day-to-day will include:

• Preparing and reviewing corporation tax returns
• Managing your own portfolio of corporate clients
• Supporting on advisory assignments (R&D, group structuring, transactions)
• Communicating directly with clients and HMRC
• Mentoring junior team members and shaping team culture

Who This Suits

This is a great fit if you’re currently:

• At a Top 10 firm, looking for more variety, autonomy, and visibility
• At a Top 50 firm, ready for progression and a stronger advisory diet
• At a Top 75 firm, seeking bigger clients and a more structured platform

You’ll ideally be ATT, ACA, or ACCA qualified (or working toward CTA), with strong compliance skills and the appetite to stretch into more advisory.

What’s In It for You?

• Rapid progression path to Manager level and beyond
• Hybrid and flexible working – output matters, not desk time
• Work closely with partners who still sit in the room, not just the boardroom
• Diverse client base – no silos, no pigeonholing

Benefits Snapshot

• 25+ days holiday plus bank holidays and a firmwide Christmas shutdown
• Private health cashback plan and 24/7 GP access
• Life assurance, enhanced pension, discounts and wellbeing perks
• Study support if needed, with a clear internal progression track
• Regular socials, CPD, and team-building events

Whether you’re seeking your first step out of the box, or your next step up the ladder - this is worth a quiet conversation.
