Who We're Looking For

We're seeking an ambitious, commercially aware tax professional with the drive to take ownership of a growing practice. This role could suit a Senior Tax Manager or Tax Director from the Big 4 who is looking for more autonomy, flexibility, and the opportunity to build something truly exciting.

• CTA / ACA (or equivalent) qualified with a strong background in tax.
• Experience (or a keen interest) in tax risk, governance, SAO, CCO, and economic crime compliance.
• Strong presentation and facilitation skills, with the confidence to lead workshops, training sessions, and webinars.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to manage client relationships and drive business growth.
• A strategic mindset, with the ability to lead projects and deliver high-quality insights.
• A sense of ownership and accountability, both for personal performance and team success.
