Job description

Strata Financial is built for ambitious SME owners. Supporting owner-managed and growing businesses isn’t just part of what we do, it’s at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to be the first-choice advisory partner for SMEs across Ireland.

As an Irish-owned firm, we’ve grown rapidly, becoming a Top 20 firm in 2023 and Employer of the Year at the Irish Accountancy Awards in 2024. With ambitions to become a Top 10 Irish firm by 2028, we’re creating opportunities for greater impact, broader responsibility, and faster career progression. If you want to help build something exceptional, this is the place to do it.

What sets us apart

• SME specialists – every service we provide is designed around the needs of owner-managed and growing businesses.
• Irish owned firm – direct access to senior leadership and faster decision‑making than in larger firms.
• Opportunity to shape the future – contribute to how we develop our systems, client experience and culture.
• Flexible working hours – start any time between 8am and 10am (build your working day around what suits you best).

The Opportunity

As Strata Financial continues to expand its tax offering, we’re seeking an experienced Tax Assistant Manager to lead the delivery of high‑quality compliance and advisory services to our growing and diverse client base. This role offers the opportunity to work directly with individuals and ambitious SME businesses across a broad range of industries, while helping to shape the future direction of our tax function and develop the next generation of tax professionals.

What You’ll Actually Do

Client Delivery & Technical Excellence

• Manage, review and complete a portfolio of corporation tax returns and related filings for corporate clients.
• Manage, review and complete income tax and partnership tax returns for a private client portfolio.
• Provide advice on capital gains tax matters, including research into available reliefs and tax‑efficient planning opportunities.
• Advise on capital taxes affecting both corporate and personal clients, identifying relevant reliefs and planning strategies.
• Deliver VAT and indirect tax advice on a range of client matters, including property‑related transactions.
• Prepare ad hoc tax planning reports and advisory projects across multiple tax heads.
• Research complex tax technical matters, including areas such as R&D tax credits and Interest Limitation Rules, ensuring clients receive clear and practical advice.

Revenue Compliance & Risk Management

• Act as a key contact for Revenue‑related matters, including Compliance Intervention Notifications and Revenue enquiries.
• Advise clients on phased payment arrangements and other Revenue compliance obligations.
• Assist with contentious tax cases, negotiate Revenue settlements, assist with preparation for Tax Appeals Commission and appeals to higher Courts.
• Ensure all compliance work is delivered accurately, efficiently and in accordance with legislative requirements.

Business Development & Client Relationships

• Build trusted relationships with clients, acting as a proactive adviser rather than simply a compliance provider.
• Identify opportunities to broaden client engagement and introduce additional services from across the wider firm.
• Support the continued growth of the tax practice through a commercial and client‑focused approach.
• Manage and oversee the tax team to achieve departmental objectives and key performance metrics.
• Mentor, coach and support team members in their professional development and technical growth.

• Foster a collaborative, high‑performing culture focused on delivering best‑in‑class client service.
