Your new company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice with a strong presence across South Yorkshire. The firm has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality advice to a diverse client base and prides itself on developing long-term relationships with both clients and employees. The partners have created an environment where personalities thrive, ideas are valued and individuals are given the autonomy to make a real impact. As the firm continues to develop its tax offering, they are seeking an experienced Tax Manager to play a key role in shaping the future of the department

Your new role

As Tax Manager, you will join the firm and play a pivotal role in supporting and developing the tax function. This appointment has been created to provide additional support to the existing Tax Director. The role offers a broad mix of tax advisory and compliance responsibilities. You will work closely with an existing tax team of compliance specialists, providing technical guidance, leadership and support whilst helping to further develop the firm's advisory offering. Much of the advisory workload currently sits with the existing Tax Director, creating a significant opportunity for the successful candidate to take ownership of client relationships and advisory projects.

Candidates from larger regional or national accountancy firms would be of particular interest.
