Job Description
Corporate Tax Director
High Wycombe
£90,000 - £110,000+
I'm working with an established accountancy firm in High Wycombe that is looking to appoint a Corporate Tax Director as part of its continued growth.
This is not a role built around simply managing a tax compliance portfolio.
They want someone with real depth in corporate tax who can become a senior adviser to clients, develop relationships, identify opportunities and help grow the firm's corporate tax offering.
You will work closely with the leadership team and have the opportunity to make a visible impact on both the tax practice and the wider business.
The role would suit someone already operating at Director level, or an established Associate Director who is ready to take on a broader leadership and commercial remit.
The role
You will take responsibility for a portfolio of corporate tax clients while also playing an active role in developing new business and broadening existing relationships.
The emphasis is on high-quality advisory work, commercial judgement and being someone clients genuinely want to speak to.
Responsibilities will include:
- Advising owner-managed businesses and corporate clients on a broad range of corporate tax matters
- Taking ownership of senior client relationships
- Identifying tax planning and advisory opportunities within the existing client base
- Developing new relationships and winning new work
- Leading proposals, pitches and client meetings
- Working closely with colleagues across audit, accounts, outsourcing and private client tax
- Supporting and developing members of the tax team
- Helping shape the continued development of the firm's corporate tax offering
- Contributing to the wider commercial growth of the business
What they are looking for
The key thing here is genuine corporate tax expertise.
This is not aimed at a general practitioner who happens to cover some tax work. They want someone who has built their career in corporate tax and is comfortable being seen by clients and colleagues as a specialist.
You are likely to have:
- ACA, ACCA and/or CTA qualification
- Strong corporate tax experience within accountancy practice
- Experience advising OMBs, entrepreneurial businesses and corporate groups
- A strong advisory background alongside an understanding of compliance
- Experience managing senior client relationships
- Commercial awareness and the ability to spot opportunities
- Evidence of involvement in business development, whether through networking, referrals, cross-selling, proposals or winning new clients
- Experience managing and developing people
- The confidence to operate with a high level of autonomy
You do not need to arrive with a portable book of clients, but you should be someone who genuinely enjoys developing relationships and wants to build a profile in the market.
Why consider it?
The firm is well established, with around 50 people across audit, accounts, tax, outsourcing, payroll and advisory.
This is intended to be a significant senior appointment rather than simply another layer in the tax team.
There is an existing client base and established relationships to work with, but also plenty of scope to build.
For someone who wants more influence, more commercial responsibility and a bigger voice in the direction of a firm, this is a role with genuine substance behind it.
Location: High Wycombe
Salary: £90,000 - £110,000+, with flexibility for the right person
