Corporate Tax Manager or Senior Manager

Your new company Join a leading accountancy practice ranked among the UK's top firms, renowned for its commitment to people and clients alike. With a strong presence across the South East and a brand-new office opening in Crawley, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team in a vibrant, well-connected location.

Your new role
As a Corporate Tax Manager or Senior Manager, you'll take ownership of a varied and challenging portfolio of ambitious, privately owned businesses with turnovers typically between £10m and £50m. Clients span sectors including technology, manufacturing, hospitality, transport, financial services, and professional services, giving you exposure to a wide range of commercial environments.

You'll play a key role in shaping the future of the tax team-mentoring junior colleagues, driving process improvements, and contributing to strategic growth initiatives.
For the right candidate, this role offers clear progression to Director level and beyond, with opportunities to influence firm-wide strategy.

* ACA, ACCA, or CTA qualification (or equivalent)
* Proven experience in corporate tax compliance and advisory work
