They pride themselves on their collaborative culture, respect for work-life balance, and a refreshing approach to flexibility — including no timesheets and hybrid working as standard. As part of the firm's continued national expansion, we’re looking for ambitious professionals to join this award-winning team and be part of an exciting growth journey.

Your new role

As an Employment Taxes Assistant Manager or Manager, you’ll join a thriving service line, working across a broad range of clients and sectors. You’ll be involved in both technical advisory and compliance projects, including:

  • Annual compliance (P11D, PSA)
  • Advice on benefits, expenses, and salary sacrifice arrangements
  • Due diligence support for M&A activity
  • Construction Industry Scheme reviews
  • Termination payments and cross-border employment tax issues
You’ll also contribute to the development of junior team members and work closely with the wider tax team to deliver integrated solutions. Whether you’re an experienced Senior Associate, Assistant Manager, or Manager, you’ll be supported to grow and thrive in a role tailored to your level.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring:
  • Minimum 3 years’ experience (Assistant Manager) or 4 years’ experience (Manager) in Employment Taxes, gained in practice, HMRC, or industry
  • CTA and/or ACA qualified (preferred but not essential)
  • Strong technical knowledge across employment tax areas
  • Experience dealing directly with clients and intermediaries
  • Excellent project and time management skills
  • A collaborative mindset and interest in mentoring junior staff
  • Commercial awareness and a proactive approach to identifying tax risks and opportunities
  • Legal right to work in the UK and relevant UK tax experience

What you'll get in return

  • Competitive salary benchmarked against the Big Four
  • All-Employee Share Reward Scheme
  • Generous benefits package including voluntary benefits
  • No timesheets and genuine respect for work-life balance
  • Hybrid working as standard (home and office)
  • High-quality work and exposure to a diverse client base
  • Support from a team with deep expertise across all areas of tax
