Job description

We are looking to recruit an ambitious Senior Tax Manager to join our growing Tax Team as the lead technical specialist on Property Stamp Taxes (namely SDLT, LTT, ATED, and to a lesser degree, LBTT). We are open to candidates who may have a particular specialism within real estate, such as VAT or Capital Taxes.

We recognize that most Property Tax experts come from a career advising on another major tax as well, as part of a wider tax team, particularly VAT, Real Estate, or Capital Taxes. We have a large client base of land and property sector clients, and your work would mostly involve these projects.

Working with a diverse range of clients, from entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses to expanding corporates, you will engage in a variety of interesting and challenging tax advisory projects that will benefit your clients.

You will enjoy coaching and mentoring individuals, as developing junior team members into accomplished tax advisors will be a key part of this role. We also expect you to support business development activities as we expand within the Midlands market.

With support from our Tax Partners, you will be encouraged to further develop your skills and knowledge to progress towards Tax Director.

This role offers the flexibility of hybrid working, allowing you to work from the office, from home, or at a client site, supporting a healthy work-life balance while delivering excellent client service.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Leading as the technical specialist for the firm on SDLT and other property taxes
2. Delivering a wide range of tax advisory projects
3. Developing and coaching trainees to become accomplished business advisors
4. Contributing to business development activities in the local marketplace

About you

To be considered, you should be:

• Appropriately qualified with experience in a Tax advisory environment
• An excellent communicator capable of building strong client relationships
• A good manager who enjoys developing and coaching teams
• Keen to contribute to the success and growth of Bishop Fleming
