About the Role
Let’s be honest—most tax jobs sound the same. A “great team,” a “competitive package,” and some vague promise of growth.
But what if this one actually delivers?
This top-100 firm in Stoke isn’t just growing—they’re building something. With an ambitious leadership team and serious investment into their Tax function, they’ve created a space where bright, relationship-driven professionals can step up, take ownership, and do genuinely interesting work with a wide variety of OMB clients.
You’ll be working shoulder-to-shoulder with a Partner and Director who are hands-on, supportive, and known for developing talent—not just delegating it. You won’t be boxed into a silo or stuck on endless compliance churn. Instead, you’ll be working across juicy advisory projects: restructuring, succession planning, IHT, CGT, employee incentives, HMRC enquiries—the works.
This is the kind of environment where mid-tier talent often outpaces Big Four careers. Why? Because you get access, variety, and visibility—and you get it now.
What Makes This Role Stand Out:
You might already be a Tax Manager who’s tired of plateauing or an Assistant Manager ready to finally take the reins. CTA is helpful, but not a dealbreaker. What really matters is your ability to manage client relationships, think commercially, and hold your own in front of both clients and HMRC.
If you’ve got a grounding in compliance but you light up when the advisory calls come in, this is your next move.

What Makes This Role Stand Out:
- Real advisory exposure – not just supporting, but contributing to meaningful planning and strategy work.
- A name that’s rising fast – this isn’t a sleepy regional firm; they’re snapping up market share and investing heavily in their people.
- Flexible hybrid working – without sacrificing the energy of a collaborative team culture.
- Genuine development – whether you’re newly CTA-qualified or heading for Director, they’ll tailor a path that fits.
