Hopkins1@hays.comYour new companyThis forward-thinking Manchester-based accountancy firm has a long history of supporting a range of clients across the North West and the wider UK. This 5-partner firm employs over 80 staff covering key service lines such as taxation, advisory, accounting and audit. This firm has a unique portfolio of 'active' clients ranging from multi-million-turnover corporate clients, owner-managed businesses and start-ups.
Unlike many firms moving down the private equity route, they remain independent and this has only enhanced their proposition. Well-known for their high level of service, and a client base with a size, scale and nature similar to that of a Top 10, this is represented in the level and quality of work they do. Your new roleThe need for a Tax Advisory Senior Manager has arisen due to the success and organic growth of the firm and this role will work alongside a strong team of collaborative partners.
This is a key strategic hire to handle tax advisory work for some of their most active clients. The current tax service line consists of 8 tax advisers, and you will be working alongside an experienced former Big 4 Partner supporting a wide variety of businesses and owners. You will have your own portfolio of UK and international businesses, working with business owners and gaining involvement in everything from mergers, corporate restructuring (demergers / shares for share exchanges), exit planning and MBOs, Business Investment Relief and remittance planning, stamp duty land tax planning advice, to name a few.
This is a varied advisory role where your client exposure will be similar to that of a Big 4 or Top 10 accountancy practice but with a wider breadth of advisory projects.
What you'll need to succeed To be successful in this role, the firm is seeking a commercially minded CTA-qualified advisor who has solid corporate advisory and strong report-writing skills. The partners are keen to hear from entrepreneurial individuals who have worked within the Top 10 / Big 4, as well as those coming from smaller firms keen to develop their expertise working with larger businesses. What you'll get in returnIf you are a tax professional looking for more advisory work and more autonomy whilst working with and being supported by an energetic and experienced team of senior partners, this role would be perfect for you.
