Tax Manager - Growing Regional Firm

Our client is a well-established firm of Chartered Accountants that continues to grow in terms of client base and service lines. Led by four highly prominent Directors, this firm has a people-centric approach to management, engagement, and development. The growth, with staff numbers doubling in the last three years, necessitates the appointment of an additional team member as Tax Manager.

This is a superb opportunity to take on more responsibility and elevate your career while working with a supportive, professional, and inclusive team. The firm fosters a culture of openness and engagement, which is not often found in traditional accountancy practices.

There is significant demand in the local market for tax professionals at all levels. Abacus has successfully placed Chartered/Certified Accountants with extensive tax experience and Chartered Tax Advisors (qualified and qualifying). This client, having recently invested and expanded, is committed to adding more 'best-in-class' professionals to their long-serving, supportive team.

If you believe this environment suits you, contact Abacus to arrange an informal meeting with a firm representative to gain insights before applying.
