Corporate Tax Manager or Senior Manager, London

The client:

My client provides tax advice to many large and medium-sized corporate clients across the UK and internationally. The business enjoys an established reputation for its work on behalf of entrepreneurial OMB clients, their owners, old money and new.

The team:

Staff tend to be Big 4 trained, although the talent pool boasts plenty of variety, within a friendly and yet highly professional working environment.

While the business has a good track record of cultivating the skills of employees and promoting internally, new talent is openly sought, in order to progress and enhance the firm’s standing.

The role in brief:

A talented and ambitious corporate tax manager or senior manager is sought in a role brought about through growth.

You will be responsible for the full management of a client portfolio consisting of OMB and listed, domestic and international clients, providing tax advice on a wide range of matters.

You will act as a technical resource to partners and staff in other departments too, where and when ad-hoc queries arise and you will also supervise and train junior staff.

Ideal candidate profile:

Likely to be ACA and/or CTA qualified, with strong corporate and international tax technical skills and experience in areas such as M&A, including tax efficient structuring and due diligence, corporate reorganisations (demergers and reconstructions), knowledge of international
tax principals such as TP, double tax treaties and BEPs.

Furthermore, it is likely that the successful applicant will also have experience of handling property taxation matters, including property development by UK and overseas companies, employee incentive arrangements such as EMI, ESS, unapproved shares plans and share valuations.

You will probably have a Big 4 or Top 10 accountancy firm background, but this is not essential and outstanding communication skills, with the ability to build and maintain excellent professional relationships with clients and colleagues.

What are the benefits?

In addition to a competitive basic salary plus benefits package, you will enjoy high quality corporate tax work that rivals the large firms, plenty of variety that spans compliance and advisory projects and the chance for further career progression, in a firm that has a good track record of promoting talent and rewarding high achievers.
