Our dedicated specialist tax department comprises nearly 150 individuals, from trainees to partners. We’re one of the largest tax practices of any regional firm in the UK.

As part of the next stage of the expansion of our tax practice, we seek a key hire for a Corporate Tax Director – based in Bristol, Exeter, Southampton or Poole.

You will help manage and develop our corporate tax team and a well‑established portfolio of OMB/SME and large corporate clients, providing a mix of compliance and advisory services. You will play a key and leading role in developing and maintaining relationships with our corporate clients and will build strong links with the accounts and audit team to ensure a comprehensive tax service to clients.

You will provide technical and mentoring support to team members and be a key point of contact for HMRC. There is the opportunity to become involved in developing tax technical material and to prepare and present at internal and external meetings and seminars.

It requires UK‑based corporate tax experience and ideally you will be CTA qualified or equivalent.

This role comes with flexible, hybrid working and ample opportunities to develop and grow your tax career. We offer a supportive and flexible culture, taking your career seriously to enable you to be the best you can be. We’ve been certified as a Great Place to Work since 2022 and are ranked 24th among large organisations in the UK’s Best Workplaces 2024.
