Tax Manager & Head of Department – Entrepreneur-Led Advisory Firm \n Fully remote within the UK | Competitive basic salary \n Performance incentive worth up to 50% of basic salary \n \n This independent advisory firm is building its services around what entrepreneurial business owners are asking for: advice that connects tax with the wider decisions they are making about their businesses and personal wealth. Joining now gives you the opportunity to influence how that offering develops. \n \n Led by a founder recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe, the firm has doubled its revenue in each of the past four years. It is investing in senior expertise and bringing tax, strategic advisory and wealth management closer together, with the ambition of becoming a leading independent alternative to the Big Four. \n \n A major wealth-management partnership is already in place. Alongside the practice, the founder is building a private members’ club for successful entrepreneurs, with direct access to the tax advisory team included in the membership. \n \n Separately from the club, the founder has personally created and organised an exclusive upcoming event on Sir Richard Branson’s private island. It sold out within two weeks, generated an extensive waiting list and will bring together entrepreneurs representing approximately £3 billion in combined wealth. Further international events are being developed. \n \n A tax advisory team is already in place, delivering complex work for the firm’s existing clients. The firm is now strengthening that team with senior expertise and leadership as demand for its advisory services grows. \n \n Four specialist areas within one firm \n \n The firm is making separate appointments at Tax Manager and Head of Department level across four specialist tax areas: \n \n\n • Corporate Tax\n, • International Tax\n, • Mergers and Acquisitions Tax\n, • Private Client Tax\n\n \n You need depth in one of these areas, not expertise across all four. \n \n Clients who make the work interesting \n \n Corporate clients typically have turnover between £1 million and £30 million, while private clients generally have personal wealth between £3 million and £100 million. \n But the real interest is in what they are doing. \n \n They are buying businesses, expanding overseas, restructuring groups, bringing in investment, planning succession and deciding what comes next for the wealth they have created. Their business and personal interests frequently overlap, creating varied, technically challenging work with a clear commercial purpose. \n \n Depending on your specialism, you could be helping an owner structure an acquisition, prepare for international expansion or navigate the tax implications of a major change in their business or personal circumstances. \n \n You will work directly with founders and decision-makers, understand what they want to achieve and turn complex tax questions into advice they can act on. The emphasis is on advisory work, rather than routine compliance. \n \n Why join at this stage? \n \n You will have direct access to the Tax Director, Founder and senior leadership, with the opportunity to contribute ideas, challenge thinking and influence how your specialist department develops. \n \n Working alongside the existing team, you will help deepen its expertise and take meaningful ownership of client relationships and advisory work. There is scope to grow your responsibility as the business expands and contribute to the development of colleagues around you. \n \n Alongside fully remote UK working and a competitive basic salary, there is a performance incentive worth up to 50% of basic salary, linked to performance against Key Performance Indicators. \n \n Who this could suit \n \n A practice background is essential. These appointments are exclusively for tax professionals with experience gained in an accountancy practice or specialist tax advisory practice, including Big Four, national and regional firms. \n \n You will bring substantial advisory experience in at least one of the four areas, strong technical judgement and the ability to speak confidently with business owners. A relevant professional qualification, or equivalent technical expertise, should be supported by a track record of turning complex issues into clear, practical advice. \n \n If you want your next move to offer interesting clients, greater influence and the opportunity to help shape what comes next, please get in touch for a confidential conversation.

Senior Manager – Outsourced Finance\n Manchester | Hybrid working | £65,000–£80,000 \n We’re working with a growing accountancy and advisory firm looking to appoint a Senior Manager within its outsourced finance team in Manchester. \n This is not a traditional accounts role focused purely on year-end work and compliance. \n The team supports growing and established businesses that need additional finance leadership, better reporting or help improving how their finance function operates. Some clients require ongoing outsourced support, while others need assistance with a specific project, systems issue or period of change. \n You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients, overseeing the accounting work while building strong relationships with the people running those businesses. The role combines technical accounting, commercial advice, project work and team leadership. The role\n You’ll be responsible for: \n\n • Leading the delivery of management accounts, statutory reporting and wider accounting support across a portfolio of clients.\n, • Acting as a senior point of contact and understanding what each client actually needs from its finance function.\n, • Reviewing financial information and helping clients make better commercial decisions from it.\n, • Overseeing outsourced finance assignments from initial planning through to delivery.\n, • Supporting clients with one-off projects, including finance-system reviews, process improvements, controls work and financial-information clean-ups.\n, • Identifying weaknesses in existing reporting or processes and recommending practical solutions.\n, • Managing deadlines, budgets and resources across several assignments.\n, • Reviewing work and making sure clients receive a consistently strong service.\n, • Leading, coaching and developing members of the team.\n, • Working alongside colleagues from other specialist areas when a client requires broader support.\n, • Spotting opportunities to introduce additional services where they would genuinely benefit the client.\n, • Contributing to the continued development of the Manchester team.\nWhat we’re looking for\n You’ll need to be ACA, ACCA or similarly qualified, with experience gained in accountancy practice, outsourced finance, accounting advisory or a relevant industry position. \n You should also have: \n\n • Strong technical accounting knowledge, including UK GAAP and some exposure to IFRS.\n, • Experience managing a portfolio of clients or several complex finance workstreams.\n, • A solid grounding in management accounts and statutory reporting.\n, • Experience reviewing and taking responsibility for other people’s work.\n, • Confidence dealing directly with business owners, Finance Directors and other senior stakeholders.\n, • Examples of improving a finance process, reporting output, control or accounting system.\n, • An interest in using cloud accounting and finance technology properly, rather than simply maintaining the existing approach.\n, • The judgement to recognise what a client needs and explain it without unnecessary jargon.\n, • Experience developing people and managing competing deadlines.\n\n You do not necessarily need to have held the exact same job title before. An experienced Manager ready to step up could be considered, particularly if you already lead client relationships and outsourced finance work. \n Equally, someone currently working in industry may be relevant if they trained in practice, retain strong technical accounting knowledge and enjoy working across different businesses and projects. The opportunity\n This is a broad role with considerably more variety than a conventional accounts portfolio. You’ll have the chance to work closely with clients, improve finance functions and play a visible part in growing the Manchester team. \n The package includes: \n\n • Salary of £65,000–£80,000, depending on experience.\n, • Hybrid and flexible working.\n, • Private medical cover.\n, • Pension and life assurance.\n, • Enhanced family leave.\n, • Annual leave with options to buy or carry days forward.\n, • Paid volunteering time.\n, • Ongoing development and a genuine opportunity to progress as the team grows.\n\n If you’re technically strong but enjoy the commercial and problem-solving side of finance just as much, this could be a very good next move.
