Job Description
Your new company
A well-established and highly regarded professional services firm with a strong UK presence is seeking to appoint an SME Corporate Tax Manager into a unique role within its Accounting & Outsourcing service line. The firm supports a diverse SME and owner‑managed client base and is known for its collaborative culture, strong technical standards, and emphasis on long‑term client relationships.
Your new role
This is an unusual and highly visible position, sitting within the AOS team but working very closely with the wider corporate tax service line. The successful individual will act as the SME corporate tax subject matter expert, taking ownership of corporate tax compliance and reporting matters for the SME client base and serving as a key bridge between accounting, outsourcing, and tax teams.
The role is largely standalone within the SME space, requiring someone confident in their technical ability and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy. You will collaborate with the main tax team on more complex matters while also supporting and educating colleagues within AOS, helping to raise capability and understanding of corporate tax across the business. A strong coaching mindset is essential, as you will regularly share knowledge, guide non‑tax specialists, and act as a trusted internal advisor. There is also a strong opportunity to present, influence, and contribute to the wider development of the firm's SME tax proposition.
What you will need to succeed
To be successful in this role, you will need demonstrable depth of experience in UK corporate tax compliance and reporting, specifically within the SME and owner‑managed business space. You may currently be operating at Assistant Manager, Manager, or Senior Manager level, with strong technical capability and the confidence to act as a go‑to expert. You will bring excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tax matters to non‑tax colleagues and clients in a clear and practical way. A genuine interest in coaching, mentoring, and disacknowledges is essential, alongside a collaborative approach and comfort working across service lines.
What you will get in return
In return, you will be offered a highly distinctive role with genuine visibility, autonomy, and progression potential. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to step into a subject‑matter‑expert position, broaden their influence, and shape how SME corporate tax services are delivered within a growing practice.You will benefit from a supportive and inclusive culture, strong flexibility around working arrangements, and a clear pathway for development as the SME tax offering continues to evolve. The firm offers a competitive remuneration package, ongoing professional development, and the chance to play a key role in bridging disciplines and adding real value to SME clients.
