Qualified Accountant, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, Tax Experience, Financial Reporting

Your new company

Hays are delighted to be supporting a mid-size services organisation based in Birmingham City to recruit a Tax and Financial Reporting Accountant.

Your new role

We are seeking a qualified Tax and Financial Reporting Accountant to join our expanding finance team in Birmingham City Centre. Whilst it is a blend of Tax and Financial Reporting, the role would ideally suit someone with more of a financial bias but with knowledge of tax.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering high-quality tax compliance, financial reporting, and broader finance support within a well-established and growing business.
Initially, the role will have a strong tax focus, taking ownership of:

UK corporate tax compliance
VAT returns and related advisory support
Tax governance and controls
Tax reporting and supporting year‑end processes
As the finance function continues to evolve, the role will broaden to include increased involvement in statutory financial reporting and management accounting, offering the successful candidate the chance to build a well-rounded and progressive finance skillset.

What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for someone who brings technical strength, professional curiosity, and a desire to grow.

A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA / ACCA /CIMA/ CTA) with post-qualification experience
Strong experience in UK corporate tax; VAT knowledge desirable
Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills
Confidence in working with complex financial information
Strong communication skills and the ability to work with stakeholders across the business
A proactive, collaborative approach and willingness to broaden your financial expertise

What you'll get in return

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business on a growth trajectory. The company offers a generous basic salary of up to £75,000 plus competitive benefits and 2 days hybrid working per week.
