Employment Tax Manager

Employment tax sits at the intersection of tax, reward and regulation. The technical rules are complex, but the real value lies in helping businesses apply them in a practical way.

This role is part of a growing employment tax offering within an advisory-led firm. The team works with a wide range of businesses, from entrepreneurial owner-managed companies to larger organisations dealing with increasingly complex workforce structures.

The work is varied. It includes advising on PAYE and benefits, employment-related securities, share option arrangements, and employment tax due diligence on transactions. There is also regular involvement in IR35 status reviews, cross-border employment issues and reward planning for senior executives.
The position involves managing client relationships as well as delivering technical work. Much of the value comes from explaining complicated rules in a way that finance teams, HR leaders and business owners can understand and act upon.

The team itself is experienced and approachable. Partners remain closely involved in projects and there is a collaborative atmosphere where technical discussion is encouraged rather than avoided.

The role would suit an ATT or CTA qualified professional with strong employment tax experience and the confidence to deal directly with clients. A practical mindset is important, as the advice often needs to balance technical accuracy with commercial reality.

For someone who enjoys the technical side of employment tax but also values client interaction and advisory work, this role offers a good balance of both.
