At a Glance
- Director-level, newly created role, one of the most compelling growth stories in the NI professional services market right now
- Increasingly international client portfolio, with serious traction across the US market
- Clearly defined progression beyond Director level
A large, global professional services practice with a genuinely fast-growing Belfast operation, increasingly recognised as one of the standout growth stories in the local market. The firm has deliberately invested in building out its Corporate & Transactions Tax capability, driven by a client portfolio that has expanded well beyond the local market into serious, sustained international activity, particularly across the US and ROI. This is a firm scaling with real intent.
The Role
This is a newly created Director-level position, reflecting genuine expansion. You will lead on complex corporate and transactions tax work, including tax due diligence, corporate restructures, shareholder exits and international tax matters such as withholding taxes, debt financing, corporate residency, permanent establishments and the tax structuring of international corporate groups. With the client base increasingly weighted towards US and international transactions, this role offers exposure well beyond what's typically available in the local market, working on high-profile, cross-border deals alongside senior colleagues and international teams.
