Job description

Senior Employment Tax Manager - Birmingham or Bristol
Lead client advisory | Shape strategy | Drive people development
A progressive and people-focused accountancy firm with strong regional roots is looking for a Senior Employment Tax Manager to join its high-performing tax team-either in its growing Birmingham hub or well-established Bristol office.
This is a strategic and client-facing role offering a rich blend of advisory, leadership, and business development responsibilities. You'll be joining a forward-thinking firm with a reputation for excellence, a collaborative culture, and a rapidly growing employment tax offering.

Your Role

You'll work alongside senior tax leaders and Partners to deliver complex and varied employment tax projects for a diverse client base-ranging from scale-ups and mid-sized corporates to major regional employers.
What you'll be doing:

• Leading on employment tax advisory projects (including benefits, reward structures, NMW, international employment, and CIS)
• Supporting transactions with employment tax due diligence
• Coaching and mentoring junior team members into confident tax professionals
• Contributing to business development and helping shape go-to-market strategy
• Playing a role in expanding the firm's employment tax services across the Midlands and South West

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll likely be:

• CTA/ACA/ACCA qualified (or equivalent) with strong employment tax experience
• Experienced in advisory work-ideally including international employment matters (CIS knowledge welcomed but not essential)
• A natural communicator and relationship builder with clients and colleagues
• Passionate about people development and team leadership
• Motivated by being part of a growing, ambitious firm with a strong regional identity

What You'll Get

• 30 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
• Hybrid and flexible working environment
• Competitive salary and career development plan
• Pension and life assurance
• Health cashback plan and 24/7 online GP service
• Yulife wellbeing app
• Regular social events and a friendly, down-to-earth team culture
• A clear route to Director and beyond, if that's your ambition

This firm offers real flexibility, actively supporting part-time or hybrid working and valuing personal balance as much as professional ambition.
