Summary

Your new company

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice with a strong presence across South Yorkshire. The firm has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality advice to a diverse client base and prides itself on developing long-term relationships with both clients and employees. The partners have created an environment where personalities thrive, ideas are valued and individuals are given the autonomy to make a real impact. As the firm continues to develop its tax offering, they are seeking an experienced Tax Manager to play a key role in shaping the future of the department

Your new role

As Tax Manager, you will join the firm and play a pivotal role in supporting and developing the tax function. This appointment has been created to provide additional support to the existing Tax Director. The role offers a broad mix of tax advisory and compliance responsibilities. You will work closely with an existing tax team of compliance specialists, providing technical guidance, leadership and support whilst helping to further develop the firm's advisory offering. Much of the advisory workload currently sits with the existing Tax Director, creating asignificant opportunity for the successful candidate to take ownership of client relationships and advisory projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing and developing a portfolio of tax clients and delivering high-quality tax advisory projects across a range of areas

Overseeing the firm's tax compliance function

Supporting and mentoring members of the tax team

Identifying opportunities to expand and strengthen the advisory offering

Working closely with partners to contribute to the continued growth of the practice

Acting as a trusted adviser to clients and building long-term relationships

What you'll need to succeed

The firm is looking for an experienced tax professional operating at assistant manager or manager level within practice.

You will ideally possess:

Strong tax compliance and advisory experience

The ability to manage and develop client relationships

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Commercial awareness and a proactive approach to business development

CTA, ACA and/or ACCA qualifications, or equivalent experience

Whilst technical expertise is important, the partners place greater emphasis on personality, attitude and ambition. They believe that technical gaps can be developed overtime and are therefore keen to meet individuals who are collaborative, commercially minded and motivated to contribute to the long-term success of the business. Candidates from larger regional or national accountancy firms would be of particular interest.

What you'll get in return

In return, you will be joining a supportive and ambitious firm that genuinely values its people and provides the opportunity to make a significant impact. Benefits include:

* A varied role combining advisory and compliance work

* The opportunity to shape and grow the firm's tax offering

* Direct access to partners and key decision-makers

* A collaborative and people-focused culture

* Long-term career progression opportunities

* Competitive salary and benefits package
