Your new company You'll be joining a large, forward-looking organisation with a strong UK presence and a reputation for investing in its people. Known for its collaborative culture and commitment to continuous improvement, this is an environment where you'll work alongside skilled professionals across a range of business functions. You'll be part of a well-established tax team that plays a central role in supporting the organisation's financial integrity and long-term strategy. The business offers a supportive and inclusive culture, with excellent opportunities for professional development and exposure to senior stakeholders.

Your new role As a Tax Compliance Accountant, you will support the Senior Tax Manager with the full spectrum of corporate tax compliance activities for the UK legal entities. Your responsibilities will include collecting and analysing financial data from internal systems, preparing corporate tax returns for UK operations and overseas branches, and contributing to statutory reporting. You'll work closely with finance, commercial teams, and external advisors, ensuring accurate and timely tax submissions, robust governance, and strong technical standards.

You'll also support areas such as R&D claims, tax provisioning, transfer pricing documentation, forecasting, audit preparation, and compliance with wider reporting requirements. This is a varied and hands-on role that will give you visibility across multiple business divisions and the opportunity to contribute to continuous improvement within the tax function.

What you'll need to succeed You'll bring experience in UK corporate tax compliance, either fully qualified, part-qualified, or with relevant equivalent expertise. Strong attention to detail, analytical capability, and excellent communication skills will help you work confidently with stakeholders at all levels. You will be comfortable working with financial data systems, proficient across standard MS Office tools, and able to manage competing deadlines in a fast-paced environment. A proactive, flexible, and collaborative mindset is essential, and support is available if you are working towards a professional tax or accounting qualification.

What you'll get in return You'll join an organisation that places real value on employee wellbeing, development, and work-life balance. You can expect a comprehensive benefits package that includes generous leave, an excellent pension offering, flexibility around working patterns, and a wide range of wellbeing and lifestyle benefits. You'll have access to extensive learning opportunities through internal and external training platforms, with strong support for career progression. Additional benefits include performance-related incentives, financial wellbeing resources, and access to a suite of employee networks that promote an inclusive, supportive workplace culture.
