Job Description:

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

Our Private Capital corporate tax team specialises in looking after exciting entrepreneurial businesses - we focus on the tax affairs of privately owned and private equity backed companies.

These are exciting businesses to work with, they are dynamic, entrepreneurial and often fast growing and they need us to help them navigate their increasingly complex tax compliance obligations and support with a range of tax advisory projects as they grow, restructure and consider succession planning.

Our approach is to work hard to build a strong trusted adviser relationship - we listen to what they want to achieve from a business and a personal perspective and help them do so in the most tax efficient way.

We are part of a much wider national tax practice that also consists of corporate and multinational (who deal with groups with significant multi-national footprint and inhouse tax functions) and our specialist services (innovation tax, employment taxes, VAT and real estate). We are able to draw on this specialist expertise to support our Private Capital clients as they grow.


A look into the role
As a member of our Private Capital corporate tax team, you will have the opportunity to work with a varied client base, from owner-managed business to private equity backed businesses.

As a Manager within our Private Capital corporate tax team, you will:

• Develop and implement tax planning strategies for corporate clients, optimizing tax efficiency and compliance with relevant regulations.
  

• Oversee the preparation and review of corporate tax returns, ensuring accuracy and adherence to applicable tax laws and regulations.
  

• Advise on tax implications of business decisions, offering guidance on structuring transactions and mitigating tax risks.
  

• Build and maintain strong client relationships, serving as a trusted advisor and addressing client inquiries related to corporate tax matters.
  

• Collaborate with clients to understand their business objectives and provide tailored tax solutions aligned with their goals.
  

• Stay informed of changes in tax legislation, regulations, and case law affecting corporate clients, and communicate potential impacts to relevant stakeholders.
  

• Foster a collaborative and supportive work environment, promoting knowledge sharing and continuous learning within the corporate tax team.
  

Knowing you’re right for us

Joining us as a Manager, the minimum criteria you’ll need is a professional qualification (CTA/ACA/ACCA or equivalent) with experience of operating at manager level within a corporate tax team, and to be confident managing a portfolio of entrepreneurial business clients.

It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way:

• You’ll have experience of managing a portfolio of tax clients, ideally with experience of working with owner managed businesses and private equity backed clients
  

• You’ll possess strong knowledge of UK corporate tax legislation
  

• You’ll have reviewed work and supervised people in a tax environment
  

• An eagerness to develop deep knowledge of the firm’s services and capabilities
