About the Tax Manager role
We are TC Group, the fastest-growing top 20 accountancy firm in the UK. We’re business advisors and accountants, with over 30 years of experience we’ve honed our skills and developed our service offering to deliver a much wider range of bespoke support and advice to ambitious business owners and their businesses.
We’re looking for a Tax Manager to join our growing tax team in Northampton in a true mixed tax role spanning compliance and advisory work.
You’ll manage a diverse client portfolio, lead on tax compliance delivery, and support (and increasingly own) advisory projects across a broad range of tax matters. This is an ideal role for a hands-on manager who enjoys variety, client contact, and problem-solving — with clear scope to develop advisory exposure and progress in the team
Key responsibilities of a Tax Manager will include:
- Manage a portfolio across a range of client types (e.g., owner-managed businesses, HNWIs, partnerships, trusts, corporates ).
- Review and oversee high-quality delivery of corporation tax and personal tax returns and computations, ensuring technical accuracy and deadlines are met.
- Identify risk areas, improve processes, and ensure consistent standards across the portfolio.
- Support and deliver advisory assignments (scope will reflect your experience), such as planning opportunities, restructuring support, transactions support, succession/wealth planning considerations, international/UK issues, trust and IHT planning and HMRC correspondence/enquiries.
- Spot opportunities in the client base and proactively raise them with tax team and wider team.
- Translate complex tax into clear, practical advice clients understand.
- Coach and support junior team members; review work and develop capability.
- Contribute to a collaborative culture and help strengthen technical and service delivery standards.
