Job description

We are looking for an experienced corporate tax specialist at Senior Manager level to join our fast-growing and dynamic Bristol team to provide direct support to the partners by managing the corporate tax affairs of an existing portfolio of primarily owner-managed business clients. The mix of work will be varied as the client base is across a full range of business sectors, including property, innovation, farming, financial services, sport & entertainment and not for profit. You will be involved in tax planning and advisory projects which will arise as a matter of course across this diverse portfolio of clients, such as property transactions, capital allowance claims, R&D tax credits and cross border transactions. There will also be the opportunity to work on stand-alone tax advisory projects such as structuring acquisitions and disposals, group reorganisations, due diligence and structuring equity incentives. The role will include some staff responsibilities and work planning. The individual will report directly to client partners. Ongoing training will be provided, with the opportunity for the individual to attend the firm's annual tax conference and attend both internal and external training sessions. The role provides a wide range of interesting work for someone with a solid corporate tax background in a friendly and supportive environment. The team The Southern Group consists of four offices based in Bristol, Peterborough, Bournemouth and High Wycombe. We have 30 corporate tax staff working in the Southern Regional Group, including one Partner, three Directors and three Senior Managers.

Candidates must be proactive, resilient and be able to market their skills and those of the firm, both on a one-to-one basis and in presentations. They should be innovative with vision, creativity and flair. They should possess the confidence and professionalism to establish credibility at all levels, be commercially minded and have a clear perception of client requirements. Candidates will require recent practical experience of running a corporate tax portfolio, and providing tax advice to owner-managed businesses, with a detailed and up to date working knowledge of corporate tax issues a given. Whilst technical skills are obviously important, this position also requires a team-orientated and flexible personality, alongside the experience of organising the delivery of tax work, problem solving and the ability to use their own initiative. The individual must be able to look at the tax issues of private companies both from the point of view of the company structure, and that of their owners. Applicants should be preferably CTA and/or ACA qualified.
