We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Tax Manager to join our central tax team, based in our Whiteley office. Working closely with the Group Head of Tax, Tax Partners and the wider central tax team, you will provide practical tax support to partner firms across TC Group. This is a varied general practitioner role covering internal technical support, tax advisory projects, tax compliance, quality control and acquisition due diligence.

• Monitoring the Group’s tax helpdesks and assisting with technical tax queries raised by partner firms
• Supporting partner firms with the completion of tax advisory projects
• Preparing corporation tax computations and returns for partner firms and TC Group companies

• Supporting internal tax matters, including the preparation of P11Ds
• Assisting with corporation tax reviews for more complex clients of partner firms
• Undertaking internal cold and hot file reviews across corporate and personal tax
• Completing quality control procedures for partner firms across the Group
• Assisting with acquisition due diligence, including red-flag reviews of client tax work and a target firm’s own tax affairs
• Undertaking technical research across a range of UK taxes
• Assisting with the preparation of technical briefings and internal guidance
• Supporting the delivery of tax training to partner firms where areas for development are identified
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across accounts, audit, VAT and other specialist teams

About you

We are looking for candidates with the following skills and experience:

• Significant relevant accountancy practice experience, ideally with a mixed tax compliance and advisory background
• Strong UK corporation tax knowledge
• A good working knowledge of multiple areas of UK taxation
• Experience of preparing and reviewing corporation tax computations and returns
• The ability to research technical matters and apply the findings to practical situations
• Accuracy and excellent attention to detail
• The ability to explain complex tax matters in plain English to colleagues with different levels of technical knowledge
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple queries, projects and deadlines
• A collaborative and practical approach to problem-solving
• Technical proficiency and good IT skills, including intermediate Excel
• Experience of tax due diligence, internal quality reviews or delivering tax training would be advantageous, but is not essential
