Corporate Tax Assistant Manager / Manager
Brighton | Haywards Heath | Bexhill (flexible) | From £48,000
Ready to work on genuinely complex tax without the Big 4 politics?
Our client is one of the fastest-growing firms in the South East and their Corporate Tax team is growing to match. They're looking for a sharp, technically strong Corporate Tax Assistant Manager or Manager to join them and take on meaningful, high-quality work from day one.
This isn't a compliance factory. You'll be working across large groups, international structures, listed clients and everything in between, tackling R&D, CIR, capital allowances, and complex group interactions alongside a team that genuinely values technical depth.
The Role
You'll sit at the heart of the Corporation Tax team, acting as a key technical resource across the wider group. That means:
- Advising on and reviewing complex/high-risk tax positions for a varied client base; large groups, international organisations, listed entities and owner-managed businesses
- Carrying out technical research on one-off transactions, R&D claims, CIR, capital allowances and group interactions
- Supporting colleagues across the firm with corporate tax queries; you'll be a go-to person
- Managing client relationships and workflow with a commercial, professional approach
- Reviewing compliance work prepared by junior team members and helping develop their skills
What You'll Bring
- CTA /ACA qualified (or finalist) with around four years' experience in corporate tax within an accountancy firm
- Strong technical skills and the confidence to navigate contentious or complex tax issues
- Experience working with large, high-risk clients (this is essential)
- A sharp eye for risk and the ability to identify issues before they become problems
- IRIS experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
