Corporate Tax Manager in London

Become the new half of our Corporate Tax duo! We think we know what you’re looking for... you want it all, and why wouldn’t you? A big ask, but one we feel confident we can deliver on. Perhaps it’s a step up from your current role, to take on more complex tax work, or expand your advisory portfolio, more client meetings and the chance to build relationships both internally and externally. Maybe you’re looking for a firm where you feel valued, trusted, and challenged - without the stress of unrealistic workloads or endless overtime.

You’ll take ownership of your work here at Goodman Jones LLP, whilst developing your technical expertise, and work directly with clients—all while being part of a supportive team in our brand-new, loft-style Fitzrovia office. And the reason we’re hiring? We’re growing fast and need an ambitious Corporate Tax Manager to join Graeme as we continue building on our success with larger, more complex corporate clients whilst remaining loyal to the family businesses we have built our 90-year history serving.

For an independent firm our size, we deliver big results with a smaller, more agile team; rarely does a firm of our size have work with a variety of clients and projects of this scale, but we love working with intricate group structures, and the strategic advisory work that keeps us on our toes.

Graeme sums it up best: "I really enjoy working here because it’s challenging, rewarding, and no two days are the same. We’ve got the type of clients you’d expect from much larger firms but offer the culture of a firm that actually cares about its people and offers real progression." That’s what this role is all about—taking on responsibility, feeling valued, and growing your career in a collaborative environment.

As an independent firm, the path to equity partnership isn’t just a dangling carrot—it’s a real opportunity. Many of our Partners started here as Seniors, Supervisors, and Managers, proving that if you’re ambitious, there’s plenty of room to grow.

Graeme described it perfectly: "Visualise a Venn diagram; you have the Audit Team with their corporate tax work on one side, and me with the complex advisory pieces on the other. This role sits in the middle." Forget a big team, this is a dynamic duo. You and Graeme, working side by side on interesting, high-value corporate tax work.

You will get involved in:

• Advisory & Complex Compliance – Advising clients on group restructures, international tax matters, transaction tax, and more, while overseeing key compliance deliverables.
• Audit Team Collaboration & Complex Tax Enquiries – Working closely with the audit team to provide corporate tax insights during engagements, attend planning meetings, and deliver proactive tax guidance.
• Corporate Structuring & Transactions – Advising clients on corporate restructures, group reorganisations, acquisitions, disposals, MBOs, and EOTs, with a focus on tax efficiency.
• International Tax Expertise – Guiding clients through complex international tax issues, including CFC rules, double tax relief, and permanent establishment considerations.
• Tax Risk Management & HMRC Engagement – Handling tax risk assessments, CIR compliance, HMRC enquiries, and voluntary disclosures.
• Capital Allowances & Incentives – Advising on capital expenditure planning, SSE applications, and optimising claims for capital allowances.
• Client interaction – Acting as the go-to for clients, helping them navigate tax complexities with confidence.
• Process Improvement & Training – Driving efficiencies in tax advisory processes and delivering training sessions to upskill colleagues.
• Staying sharp – Staying ahead of tax changes.

Additional Information:

• Salary: £60-70,000 per annum
• Hours: 35 hours per week (full-time)
• Location: Hybrid (3 days in the office, 2 days working from home)
• Application Process: Please submit your CV. We respond to all applicants.

About You: Since you’re likely working in a similar Corporate Tax focused role in practice, you probably already have the skills and experience needed to transition seamlessly into this role. For clarity, we’re looking for individuals who are:

• Experienced: Strong technical skills in corporate tax advisory, particularly around group structures, transactions, and international tax.
• A Natural Leader: Proven experience in reviewing work and mentoring junior team members (audit in our case).

• Tech Pro: Comfortable working with tax and accounting software like CCH and Excel.
