Our client, a leading independent, full-service tax advisory firm, is seeking an experienced tax professional to join their high-performing Equity Reward team. This strategic hire is due to continued growth and increasing demand across a broad client base, including OMB, listed groups, PE backed companies, and family-owned enterprises.

The role is open to Assistant Manager, Manager, and Senior Manager (acting or ready to take the next step), where you'll play a pivotal role in helping clients attract, retain, and incentivise top talent through equity-based reward solutions, from executive-level incentives to company-wide plans.

The important work you will be doing:

  • Advise on the design and implementation of a wide range of equity incentives, including EMI, CSOP, growth shares, freezer shares, ratchet shares, joint interests, and nil-paid arrangements.
  • Provide tax-technical input across the entire lifecycle of share plans, including implementation, secondary awards, restructuring, and transaction-related activity.
  • Lead due diligence reviews from an employment-related securities (ERS) perspective.
  • Work closely with clients to deliver high-quality, commercially driven advice.
  • Project manage complex engagements, supervise team members, and provide mentoring and on-the-job training.
  • Maintain high standards under time-sensitive or transaction-driven pressures, ensuring technical excellence and service delivery.

The skills and experience you will bring:

  • Ideally a minimum of six years' experience in equity reward/share plans and incentives.
  • Deep knowledge of relevant tax implications, including employment taxes and capital gains tax.
  • Strong grasp of related disciplines including tax valuation, accounting, company law, and employment law.
  • Proven ability to manage client relationships and deliver work to a market-leading standard.
  • Professional qualification such as ATT, CTA, ACA.

Why Join Our Client?

Our client is one of the UK's fastest-growing independent tax advisory firms, with a bold national growth strategy and a reputation for delivering high-quality work across all areas of tax.

  • No timesheets.
  • Work/life balance, and a hybrid working model (home and office).
  • Inclusion in an All-Employee Share Reward Scheme – offering a share of firm profits above a set threshold.
  • A competitive salary, benchmarked regularly against the rest of the market (Big-4 included).
  • A generous and flexible benefits package.
  • At our client, you'll work alongside some of the UK's top tax professionals in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment without the bureaucracy of larger firms.
