Take ownership of the advisory piece, shape the service line, mentor smart people Head of Tax Advisory - Top 50 Firm Some firms say they're "forward-thinking".This one actually is. You'll be joining an actively acquisitive Top 50 practice where curiosity isn't a buzzword - it's a culture. The partners like advisers who challenge things, ask "why?", and push technical thinking past the obvious. If you want a seat at a table where people genuinely listen, you'll get it here. The Tax team is genuinely high calibre. Bright, technical, collaborative, and used to dealing with clients who expect sharp, commercial advice - because their client base is exactly the type that keeps things interesting: tech, media, music, creative industries, and fast-growth businesses that don't stand still long enough for the tax legislation to catch them. The partners are dynamic. No egos, no micromanagement. They want someone who can take ownership of the advisory piece, shape the service line, mentor smart people, and be part of the conversations that drive the wider firm. If you've gone into industry for a while and miss the variety, challenge, and pace of practice - this is one of the rare roles that actually makes sense as a return path. You'll get the autonomy you've been used to, with the added advantage of interesting problems landing on your desk every day. You'll be working across corporate tax, shareholder planning, transactions, structuring, international issues, and the kind of "can we ?" queries that make the job fun again. But you won't be drowning in compliance - you'll be leading, shaping, advising, and elevating.They want someone credible. Someone who can win trust in the room without needing a song and dance. ACA/CTA helps, of course, but they care more about how you think than what's written after your name. The firm's growing. Properly growing. So this is a role with real influence and long-term opportunity, not a decorative job title stapled to a stagnant department. If you want the space, respect, and platform to be the adviser you actually trained to be - this is it. What you need to do now Send me a message or email for a confidential chat. #

You'll get the autonomy you've been used to, with the added advantage of interesting problems landing on your desk every day. You'll be working across corporate tax, shareholder planning, transactions, structuring, international issues, and the kind of "can we ?" queries that make the job fun again. But you won't be drowning in compliance - you'll be leading, shaping, advising, and elevating.They want someone credible. Someone who can win trust in the room without needing a song and dance. ACA/CTA helps, of course, but they care more about how you think than what's written after your name. The firm's growing. Properly growing. So this is a role with real influence and long-term opportunity, not a decorative job title stapled to a stagnant department. If you want the space, respect, and platform to be the adviser you actually trained to be - this is it. What you need to do now Send me a message or email for a confidential chat. #
