We are currently looking for a Corporate Tax professional to join our team supporting a well-established UK accountancy and tax advisory firm. This opportunity offers hands-on corporate tax work, exposure to technically interesting advisory projects, and the chance to keep building your UK tax expertise in a supportive, growth-focused environment.

If you enjoy combining strong compliance foundations with broader advisory exposure, this could be a strong next step.

You will:

• Prepare and review UK corporate tax returns accurately and on time
• Identify technical risks, compliance issues, and tax planning opportunities
• Support tax advisory and planning work across a range of client matters
• Assist on broader corporate and owner-managed business tax projects
• Contribute to work such as reorganisations, disposals, and due diligence assignments
• Help develop advisory opportunities within an existing client base
• Build strong working relationships with colleagues and clients
• Support audit and accounts teams on tax-related matters
• Contribute to technical content such as factsheets, articles, presentations, and training materials
• Keep up to date with UK tax legislation and relevant accountancy developments

What we're looking for

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Part-qualified or newly qualified ATT or CTA
• At least 2 years' experience in an accountancy practice
• Hands-on UK corporate tax compliance experience
• Practical experience preparing and ideally reviewing corporate tax returns
• Exposure to tax advisory or planning work, even if still developing in this area
• A solid understanding of UK corporate tax legislation and compliance requirements
• The ability to spot technical risks and planning opportunities
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organisational skills
• Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical matters in a practical way
• A collaborative, proactive approach and confidence working with different stakeholders

Experience supporting audit or accounts teams on tax matters would be advantageous.
