Tax Manager

Tax Senior / Tax Manager, Southport, Salary: £Negotiable dependent on experience This is a chance to take full ownership of a substantial personal tax portfolio at an independently-run, well-regarded chartered accountancy firm.

You'll step into a role with genuine autonomy from day one, and a clear path to broaden into trust work, tax planning and Corporation Tax as you settle in. Tax Senior / Tax Manager – This Role Is Ideal For

A Tax Manager who is ready to run a sizeable portfolio (around 250 clients) as their own, rather than servicing one that belongs to someone else.

Someone who wants their remit to grow beyond compliance — into trust work, advisory and planning

A candidate who values a smaller, close-knit firm where they'll be known and can shape how their portfolio and career development, rather than being one of many managers in a large practice.

Tax Senior / Tax Manager – About the Firm This firm is an independently-run chartered accountancy practice based in the North West, providing accountancy and business advice to a loyal client base across the region. It's a close-knit team that prides itself on building strong, lasting client relationships — the kind of environment where a new manager's input is genuinely felt, not lost in a large hierarchy. Tax Senior / Tax Manager – Why This Role Exists The firm's personal tax client base has grown to the point where it needs a dedicated manager to take proper ownership of it, managing the day-to-day compliance workload while freeing up senior people to focus on higher-value advisory and business development work.
