Your new company
You will be joining a well‑established and reputable independent practice with a strong tax presence in the Manchester market.

Your new role
In this role, you will manage a portfolio of corporate clients ranging from owner‑managed businesses and SMEs to larger corporate groups. You will oversee all aspects of corporate tax compliance, ensuring accurate and timely submissions, advising on quarterly instalment payments, and identifying planning opportunities including corporate structuring, R&D tax relief, and capital allowances. You will also liaise directly with HMRC on behalf of clients, manage tax risk and compliance issues, and support more complex advisory projects, such as due diligence, share valuations, and international tax matters. A key part of the role will involve developing and mentoring junior members of the tax team, maintaining strong client relationships, and ensuring all work is completed within budget and communicated clearly throughout.

What you'll need to succeed
