Your new company
A fast-growing, multi-office accountancy firm in the South is expanding its tax team and is looking to appoint an experienced Tax Manager as part of that growth. This is not a replacement, a reshuffle, or a "someone's leaving so we need cover" role. It's a genuine growth hire, created because the client base (and ambition) has outgrown the current structure.
Your new role
This is a broad, hands-on Tax Manager position with real variety and proper autonomy. You'll manage a mixed portfolio of personal and corporate tax clients (largely OMBs), act as a trusted adviser on more complex tax matters, and play a key role in developing a growing tax team. Yes, there's compliance - but this role leans heavily towards advisory, oversight and leadership, rather than grinding through returns.
You'll be involved in areas such as:

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
