The role

We are looking for an experienced corporate tax specialist at Manager level to join our fast-growing and dynamic Southern Regional Group to provide direct support to the partners by managing the corporate tax affairs of an existing portfolio of primarily owner-managed business clients.

The mix of work will be varied as the client base is across a full range of business sectors, including property, innovation, farming, financial services, sport & entertainment and not for profit.

You will be involved in tax planning and advisory projects which will arise as a matter of course across this diverse portfolio of clients, such as property transactions, capital allowance claims, R&D tax credits and cross border transactions.

There will also be the opportunity to work on stand-alone tax advisory projects such as structuring acquisitions and disposals, group re-organisations, due diligence and structuring equity incentives.

The role will include some staff responsibilities and work planning. The individual will report directly to client partners.

Ongoing training will be provided, with the opportunity for the individual to attend the firm’s annual tax conference and attend both internal and external training sessions.

The role provides a wide range of interesting work for someone with a solid corporate tax background in a friendly and supportive environment.

This position will be based within one of these four offices but there will be opportunities to work on clients across all four offices.

There will be flexibility of working from home as part of our Agile Working Policy.
