Your new company
Growing firms talk about growth all the time.
This one is actually doing it.
A well-established, multi-office accountancy firm in the South is expanding its tax team and looking to appoint a Tax Manager as part of its next phase of growth.
This isn't a replacement hire, a reshuffle, or a backfill for somebody who's handed their notice in.
It's a brand-new role created because the client base, workload and ambition have outgrown the current structure.
The firm has built a strong reputation for client service, invests in its people, and offers the sort of long-term career prospects that are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Your new role
This is a broad, hands‑on Tax Manager position with real variety and proper autonomy.
You'll manage a mixed portfolio of personal and corporate tax clients (largely OMBs), act as a trusted adviser on more complex tax matters, and play a key role in developing a growing tax team.
Yes, there's compliance - but this role leans heavily towards advisory, oversight and leadership, rather than grinding through returns.
You'll be involved in areas such as
- Personal tax planning and complex compliance
- Corporate and owner‑managed business tax advisory
- IHT, estate planning, CGT and R&D exposure
- ERS, P11Ds and ATED
- Reviewing work, mentoring juniors and managing workflows
- Working closely with senior leadership on client matters and department development
In short: this is a proper manager role, not a senior stuck doing everyone else's work.
- What you'll need to succeed
- ATT/CTA qualified or active studier
- Around 4-5+ years' UK tax experience
- Strong personal tax and compliance background
- Some corporate tax and advisory exposure
- Experience reviewing work and supporting or managing a tax team
- Commercial, client‑facing and confident dealing with HMRC
- Someone who enjoys tax… but doesn't enjoy stagnation
- What you'll get in return
- £50,000+ salary, dependent on experience and qualifications
- Full‑time role with flexibility considered
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with buy/sell options
- Enhanced family leave policies
- Pension and a genuinely sociable culture
- Clear progression as the firm continues to grow
