Talent Finance is partnering with a leading UK Top 10 accountancy firm on a rare leadership opportunity within its expanding South Coast practice. This is not a traditional Manager role. It is an opportunity to step into a position with real influence, ownership and visibility, helping shape the future direction of a growing regional corporate tax team.
If you are motivated by responsibility, enjoy building relationships and want to play a meaningful role in developing a service line, this role offers the platform to do exactly that.


The Opportunity
Created as part of sustained regional growth, this role sits at the centre of the firm’s corporate tax strategy across the South Coast. You will work closely with senior leadership, take ownership of key client relationships and play an active role in shaping how the team evolves over the coming years.
You will have the autonomy to influence how work is delivered, how people are developed and how the practice continues to grow, making this an ideal move for someone ready to broaden their leadership impact.


What You’ll Be Doing
• Leading the delivery of corporate tax compliance and advisory services across a varied and complex client portfolio
• Acting as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, providing commercially focused technical insight
• Driving quality, consistency and best practice across the corporate tax offering
• Supporting and developing a high-performing team, mentoring and coaching future leaders
• Contributing to business development initiatives and strengthening long-term client relationships
• Supporting workflow planning, resourcing and overall practice performance


About You
You will be an experienced Corporate Tax professional operating at Manager level, looking for a role where you can genuinely influence outcomes rather than simply manage delivery.
You will likely bring:
• CTA, ACA, ACCA qualification or strong qualified-by-experience background
• Strong technical credibility combined with commercial awareness
• Confidence working with senior clients and internal stakeholders
• A collaborative leadership style with a genuine interest in developing people
• Ambition to help shape and grow a regional practice


Why This Role Stands Out
• A genuine leadership opportunity within a growing Top 10 firm
• Real scope to influence strategy, culture and team development
• Flexible base across Poole, Southampton or Portsmouth
• Clear long-term progression and strong career visibility
• Supportive, values-led culture with an established regional presence
