You will be expected to look beyond the legislation and understand the commercial purpose of each transaction. \n \n Key Responsibilities \n \n\n • Leading tax advisory projects connected to business acquisitions, disposals and investments\n, • Advising shareholders, entrepreneurs and management teams before a business sale or exit\n, • Supporting clients with the tax structuring of proposed transactions\n, • Undertaking tax due diligence and identifying potential risks, exposures and planning opportunities\n, • Advising on share sales, asset sales, management buyouts and management buy-ins\n, • Supporting corporate reorganisations, demergers and pre-transaction restructuring\n, • Advising on capital gains tax, corporation tax and shareholder tax considerations\n, • Reviewing transaction documentation from a tax perspective\n, • Advising on warranties, indemnities and tax-related provisions within sale and purchase agreements\n, • Working alongside legal, corporate finance and other professional advisers throughout the deal process\n, • Presenting technical findings and recommendations clearly to business owners and senior stakeholders\n, • Reviewing technical work and supporting the development of less experienced team members\n, • Helping to develop the firm’s M&A and transaction tax proposition\n, • Identifying opportunities to support clients beyond the immediate transaction\n\n \n The Clients and the Work \n \n The firm’s client base includes entrepreneurs, privately owned companies and established business groups operating across a variety of sectors. \n \n Some clients will be preparing for their first acquisition. Others may be considering the sale of a business they have built over many years, taking external investment or implementing a wider succession strategy. \n \n The work is varied, commercially significant and often time-sensitive. Clients need an adviser who can explain complex tax matters clearly, understand the wider deal dynamics and remain calm when issues arise. \n \n You will have the opportunity to become closely involved in transactions rather than completing one isolated element of the process. \n \n Why Join? \n \n\n • This is not a large, heavily structured deals team where responsibilities are narrowly divided between different departments.\n, • You will have broad exposure across the transaction lifecycle and the freedom to take genuine ownership of your work.\n, • The firm combines the calibre and complexity of assignments often associated with larger professional services businesses with the pace, flexibility and influence of a founder-led advisory firm.\n, • You will work directly with senior decision-makers, develop close relationships with clients and contribute to the continued growth of the M&A tax function.\n, • The business has achieved significant year-on-year growth and continues to invest in its people, technology and infrastructure.\n, • For the right person, the package may also include substantial performance-related bonus incentives and the potential for longer-term equity participation.\n\n \n Your Background \n \n You will already have strong experience within corporate tax, transaction tax, deals tax or M&A advisory. \n \n\n • CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA or an equivalent professional qualification\n, • Experience advising on mergers, acquisitions, disposals or business investments\n, • A strong technical background in corporate tax or transaction tax\n, • Experience undertaking or reviewing tax due diligence\n, • Knowledge of transaction structuring and pre-sale reorganisations\n, • An understanding of the tax considerations arising from share and asset sales\n, • The ability to interpret complex information and identify commercially significant issues\n, • Confidence advising entrepreneurs, shareholders, investors and senior management teams\n, • Strong project-management skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines\n, • The ability to communicate technical findings clearly to non-tax specialists\n, • Experience reviewing work or supporting the development of junior colleagues\n, • International transaction tax exposure would be advantageous\n\n \n The firm will consider an established M&A Tax Manager or Transaction Tax Manager, as well as an ambitious Assistant Manager or experienced Corporate Tax Advisor with strong transaction exposure who is ready to progress.

Corporate Tax Manager – Advisory \n £60,000–£70,000 \n OTE £90,000 - £100,000 \n Fully Remote \n \n Our client is a high-growth tax and strategic advisory firm supporting entrepreneurs, privately owned businesses and ambitious companies across the UK and internationally. \n \n The firm has grown significantly in recent years by combining high-level technical expertise with a modern, commercially focused approach to corporate tax advice. \n \n As the business continues to scale, this is a key senior appointment for an experienced corporate tax professional who wants greater influence, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to help shape the future of an advisory-led tax function. \n \n This is not a traditional, compliance-heavy accountancy practice. You will be joining an ambitious, founder-led advisory business with a high-calibre client base, a strong market profile and clear plans for continued growth. \n \n The Role \n \n You will work closely with the senior leadership team, taking responsibility for complex corporate tax advisory projects while helping to develop the firm’s wider corporate tax offering. \n \n The client base includes founder-led businesses, owner-managed companies, scaling organisations and established privately owned groups. These are clients who require proactive, commercially intelligent advice rather than routine compliance support. \n \n Many are growing rapidly, restructuring their operations, preparing for investment or sale, completing acquisitions, expanding internationally or dealing with increasingly complex corporate tax matters. \n \n You will lead advisory projects, manage senior client relationships and provide clear, technically robust advice that considers both the immediate tax position and the client’s wider commercial objectives. \n \n Typical responsibilities will include: \n \n\n • Leading complex corporate tax advisory engagements for owner-managed businesses, privately owned groups and entrepreneurial companies\n, • Advising on corporate restructures, reorganisations, demergers and group simplification projects\n, • Supporting clients through acquisitions, disposals, investments and other corporate transactions\n, • Advising on tax-efficient growth strategies, succession planning and business exits\n, • Providing advice on corporation tax matters, capital allowances, loss utilisation and group relief\n, • Supporting businesses expanding or operating internationally\n, • Identifying and advising on relevant tax reliefs and incentives\n, • Acting as a trusted corporate tax adviser to business owners, directors and senior leadership teams\n, • Reviewing technical work and helping to develop less experienced members of the tax team\n, • Working with senior leadership to shape and grow the corporate tax advisory function\n, • Identifying opportunities to improve technical standards, service delivery and client outcomes\n\n \n Why This Opportunity Stands Out \n \n This role offers access to the quality of work, client complexity and technical challenge often associated with larger firms, but within a more agile, entrepreneurial and genuinely influential environment. \n \n You will not be one of many senior tax professionals within a large corporate structure. You will be a central figure in the firm’s next phase of growth, with visibility across the business and the opportunity to help build a corporate tax function of long-term value. \n \n The firm has achieved significant year-on-year growth and continues to attract increasingly complex advisory projects. There is a clear strategy for the future, continued investment in technology and infrastructure, and a strong appetite to keep raising standards across the business. \n \n For the right person, there is also the potential to benefit from extensive bonus incentives and longer-term equity participation. \n \n Your Profile \n \n This is a senior appointment, so it is essential that you already have a proven background in corporate tax advisory. \n \n Ideally, you will have: \n \n\n • CTA, ACA, ACCA or CA qualification\n, • Strong experience within corporate tax advisory\n, • Experience advising owner-managed businesses, privately owned groups or entrepreneurial companies\n, • The ability to lead complex advisory conversations and explain technical matters clearly\n, • Experience advising on corporate restructures, transactions, reorganisations or business disposals\n, • Strong technical knowledge and the ability to apply tax legislation within commercial scenarios\n, • Experience reviewing complex corporate tax work\n, • International tax exposure would be advantageous\n, • The confidence to work closely with business owners, directors and senior stakeholders\n, • An interest in helping to develop and grow a corporate tax advisory function\n\n \n This role would suit an experienced Senior Corporate Tax Manager, Corporate Tax Manager or Senior Corporate Tax Advisor who wants to move into a more entrepreneurial, advisory-led environment offering genuine influence and long-term opportunity. \n \n For further information or a confidential discussion, please get in touch.
