You'll be joining a global, advisory-led tax consultancy where the UK business is growing quickly and Corporate Tax is a key part of that expansion. The structure is lean, which means you won't be operating through layers or waiting for opportunities to open up. The work is a mix of advisory and compliance, but with advisory driving the role. You'll be working with large corporates, multinational groups and complex mid-market businesses on cross-border structuring, transactions and reorganisations, and overseeing compliance as part of wider engagements. At this level, the role goes beyond delivery. You'll be leading client relationships, managing and developing a team, and working closely with senior leadership on complex projects. There is also a clear expectation that you will contribute to the growth of the Corporate Tax offering as the business expands in the UK and across Europe. What tends to appeal to people making this move is the shift in environment. It is more commercial, less process-driven, and gives you greater visibility over both clients and the impact of your work. There is a clearer link between what you contribute, how you are recognised, and how quickly you progress. The business itself is established but still scaling, which creates genuine opportunity. If you are looking for more ownership, stronger client exposure, and a clearer route to Director and beyond, it is worth a conversation.
