Job description

A leading and fast growing accountancy firm is looking for a Corporate Tax Manager to lead and manage a diverse portfolio of business clients, from SMEs through to larger corporates. The Tax Team here has a strong reputation for cutting through complexity, and this role puts you at the heart of that, working across corporation tax, VAT and employment tax while playing an active part in advisory and special assignments alongside senior leadership.

Key responsibilities

• Manage a portfolio of business clients, covering both compliance and advisory work.
• Lead on corporate tax advisory matters, with involvement in ad hoc VAT and employment tax issues as they arise.
• Get involved in broader business tax work, including international tax matters and R&D tax credits.
• Liaise closely with Partners and Directors on both client work and wider group management.
• Oversee and mentor junior staff, including on the job training and day to day support.
• Manage staff appraisals and monitor performance across your team.
• Ensure compliance procedures are followed in line with institute and Revenue guidance.
• Help the department meet its KPIs around billing and recovery targets.
• Seek out and contribute to special assignments and advisory projects where they arise.

About you

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CA) and or tax advisor (CTA), or international equivalent.
• Significant corporate tax experience gained within practice or industry.
• Technically strong and comfortable getting involved in complex client work.
• Demonstrated experience managing both people and client relationships.
• Confident liaising with senior management and clients alike.
• Well organised, with a track record of meeting compliance and departmental targets.
• An appetite for developing business development skills as your career progresses.
• Able to work within a hybrid model based in Dublin, with flexibility as needed.

Why join

You will be joining a firm that genuinely invests in its people, with fully funded professional training and a benefits package that includes private medical insurance and strong pension contributions. The portfolio here spans SMEs and larger corporates, so the work stays varied rather than settling into a routine. You will have real exposure to Partners and Directors early in your tenure, not just client delivery from a distance. And there is a clear runway to develop your business development skills as part of the role, rather than that being an afterthought.
