M & A Tax Manager / Senior

Are you an ambitious tax professional looking to step away from routine compliance and time-recording constraints? Would you thrive in a purely advisory-led role where you have the autonomy to mold the position around your technical interests and specialize across diverse areas of tax - all with absolutely no timesheets?

This Top 30 Firm is one of the UK's fastest-growing practices, operating across prominent hubs in London and the Midlands. The firm is widely recognized for its progressive, purpose-led approach, focusing heavily on building valuable client relationships rather than tracking hours. They provide a highly flexible, modern working environment that prioritizes genuine professional development and offers an agile framework completely free from traditional timesheet requirements.

As a Tax Advisory Senior Manager you will:

• Lead and deliver complex, bespoke tax advisory projects from scoping through to delivery, with a dedicated focus on corporate restructuring, corporate groups, business succession, and exit planning.
• Provide comprehensive transaction tax support, including undertaking corporate tax due diligence, designing tax-efficient acquisition structuring, and reviewing funds flows and transaction documentation.
• Deliver high-level property tax advice across client developments, disposals, and refinancing structures, including advising on SDLT/LBTT/LTT implications, group reliefs, and property-specific VAT considerations.
• Draft technical tax reports, HMRC clearance applications, and advice notes, collaborating directly with corporate finance, audit, and accounts service lines to identify high-value planning opportunities.
• Demonstrate strong UK tax technical knowledge across corporate tax, capital taxes, and transaction tax within a public practice environment.
• Possess explicit project management experience, showing the ability to handle complex M&A, restructuring, or property tax advice notes and manage competing transaction deadlines autonomously.

Benefits include:

• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Option to purchase 3 extra days holiday per year
• Paycare healthcare scheme (cashback for dental, optical, and professional therapies)
• Fully funded professional membership support
