Valuations Associate Partner Manchester | Competitive Salary (Big Four benchmarked) + Profit ShareAccountancy & Tax The Firm Rapidly expanding independent tax practice looking to strengthen their valuations offering in Manchester. They've built something genuinely different - a place where talented people can do excellent work without the politics and bureaucracy that typically comes with growth. The Role This is a proper Valuations Associate Partner position in their valuations practice. You'll be leading on complex valuation assignments across the full spectrum - share schemes, securities work, transaction valuations, probate, reorganisations, and distressed scenarios. Beyond the technical delivery, you'll be developing client relationships, winning work, and playing a key part in building out the valuations team. There's scope here to genuinely shape the service line as they grow. What They Need 10+ years in tax with deep valuations expertise. You've been around the block - practice background, industry experience, or a combination. Either way, you know what good looks like. You're technically strong across different valuation approaches and share structures. Employment securities, tax-advantaged schemes, CGT implications - this is bread and butter for you. More importantly, you can translate complex technical work into advice that clients actually understand and value. CTA or ACA qualification helps but isn't essential if your track record speaks for itself. What matters more is that you can lead projects, manage relationships, and bring people along with you. They want someone who's commercial, personable, and interested in developing the next generation of valuations specialists. What's On The Table Competitive salary benchmarked against what the Big Four pay for equivalent roles. On top of that, there's a genuine profit share scheme that covers all employees, not just equity partners. Strong benefits package, proper flexibility around working patterns, and a Manchester base with hybrid working baked in. They ditched timesheets completely because they'd rather judge people on output and client value than hours logged. There's an opportunity here to take genuine ownership and have real influence as an Associate Partner rather than just being another senior hire. Why Look At This Valuations Associate Partner role? If you're an Associate Partner or Director in accountancy who's tired of being a cog in a machine, this is worth exploring. The work's high quality, the culture's refreshingly straightforward, and there's actual room to grow your career. They're building something with intention and they need people who can help lead that.

Develop as a regional go-to professional, while working with UK-wide Experts Your new company My client is a well-regarded national and European advisory and accounting firm, with a "why not" investment and BD culture that encourages ideas and collaboration. The Forensic function has Partners in 3 locations, and a supporting Valuations function which is also entering a growth phase. Having made several acquisitions, the firm is now focused on organic growth and there is real momentum to pull through its SMs to Director and its Directors to Partner.

While still a young team/function they have already established themselves in the following areas: • Expert witness in commercial/ litigation disputes, • Dispute Advisory, • Loss of Earnings, • Contentious Valuations, • Litigation Support, • Investigative Accounting & Fraud Investigations, • Corporate Intelligence & Asset Tracing It is at your discretion what you want to market to, be known for and be briefed on, and the WIP coming through is likely to be a blend of the above with quantum matters always at the heart of the portfolio. Business Development is properly collaborative , as is the contribution calculation : it's important to note that when it comes to Partner track, fees are anything but simply calculated on own generation. Contribution takes many forms and the firm has metrics in place to recognise this. So you have every incentive (personal and corporate!) to grow your presence on the regional and national circuit. A full job spec is available of course. What you'll need to succeed This is exactly the right role for someone who feels they're within touching distance of Director in the next 12-18 months, but would like more support and market exposure to get there (and beyond!)

Including visa for partners/family. The business You’ll be joining an independent global consultancy that has specialised in project, cost and construction management for nearly two centuries, with its US headquarters in New York and offices across the major US markets. They’ve delivered billions of dollars’ worth of development across commercial offices, hospitality, leisure, and residential, and are known for long‑term, repeat client relationships rather than one‑off wins. In New York, the cost management team is growing fast, with a mix of UK‑trained and US‑trained professionals delivering multiple concurrent projects for blue‑chip clients. The role Title will depend on experience (Cost Manager, Senior Cost Manager, Associate Director or Director), but in all cases you will: • Lead cost management on multiple projects, from early feasibility and cost planning through to final account., • Own budgets, cost plans, forecasting and reporting, providing clear recommendations to clients., • Work in a faster‑paced environment where clients value timely, commercially focused advice over “perfect” reports, and where lump‑sum contracts and fewer detailed BOQs are the norm., • Attend and lead design and client meetings, representing the cost management function and challenging assumptions where needed., • Mentor and develop junior team members, contributing to a collaborative, high‑performance culture. At more senior levels (AD / Director), you’ll also: • Take a visible leadership role across the team and key accounts., • Play a part in business development – repeat work, new opportunities, and helping shape how the New York cost management offer grows., • Influence internal best practice, tools and processes as the team scales. About you You’re likely to be: • Currently working for a PQS / cost consultancy or client‑side team in the UK or Ireland., • Operating at strong Cost Manager / Senior Cost Manager / Associate Director level, with roughly 5–12 years’ relevant experience (flexible for the right person)., • Chartered (MRICS) or close to it, comfortable owning cost advice and defending your position with clients and contractors., • Happy to swap some UK “polish” for New York pace – you can still be rigorous, but you’re pragmatic and commercially minded., • Motivated by the idea of a genuine change – new country, new market, new way of working – rather than just a pay bump. There is also room for an experienced late‑career cost leader (c. 50s) who wants a defined, delivery‑focused Director role on major projects, without the expectation of building a big team or chasing partnership. What next? If you’re a UK or Irish cost manager who’s been quietly thinking “If I ever move abroad, it’ll be for something big,” this is that moment. You don’t need US experience. You do need a strong PQS track record, the confidence to step into a more fluid “cost manager” remit, and the appetite to build a chapter of your career – and life – in New York.
