We are delighted to be recruiting an ambitious and technically strong Tax Manager to join our client, a forward-thinking, independent Chartered Accountancy Practice, with offices in prime Cambridgeshire locations.

The Firm

Our client is a highly regarded and innovative accountancy practice, known for delivering a high-calibre, partner-led service to a loyal and diverse client base. They invest heavily in their people, technology, and working culture, offering flexibility, progression, and genuine autonomy.

Their clients operate across a wide range of sectors, with varying levels of complexity across corporate and personal tax matters.

This is a standout career opportunity for a tax professional who is looking not only for their next role, but for a clear pathway into senior leadership as part of the firm’s long term growth plans.

The Opportunity

Reporting to their office just south of Cambridge, away from the city traffic, this role offers an excellent balance of strategic involvement, technical delivery, and mentoring junior team members.

You will work with a dedicated, driven, and talented tax team, while maintaining responsibility for your own portfolio of both corporate and private clients.

Key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing corporate tax computations
• Preparing and reviewing partnership, trust, and personal tax returns
• Managing and supporting R&D tax claims
• Assisting with and advising on tax planning strategies
• Working closely with managers and wider teams to ensure successful and timely job completion
• Acting as a mentor and leader within the tax team, supporting trainee development, reviewing work, and providing constructive feedback
• Acting as primary point of contact for your client portfolio, liaising directly to manage queries and relationships

About You

Given the technical requirements of this role—and the opportunity to progress into a more advisory post —we are keen to hear from experienced tax professionals who can demonstrate:

• ATT and/or CTA qualification, or significant relevant experience in a similar role
• Strong technical knowledge across corporate and personal tax
• Experience managing a mixedclient portfolio within an accountancy practice
• Confidence as a client-facing adviser and trusted point of contact
• Previous experience mentoring or managing junior team members
• A proactive, commercial, and collaborative approach

Why Apply?

This role offers more than just progression—it offers career longevity, influence, and ownership within a firm that values its people and plans for the future.

• Competitive salary that will reflect your experience
• Hybrid working
• Clear route toward senior leadership
• High-quality client work
• Supportive, modern culture
• Strong focus on professional development

If you’re looking to join a firm that genuinely invests in its people and offers long-term career potential, this could be the perfect next move.
