Job Title: Corporate Tax Manager

Location: City of Cardiff, NP10

Salary: Up to £65,000 + Benefits (dependent on experience)

Why Choose Them?

They promote on merit and potential, not just time served.
Varied, Intellectually Stimulating Work: Work with a genuinely diverse client base - from ambitious entrepreneurs and privately-owned businesses to subsidiaries of international groups.

Team development and mentoring opportunities

The Individual:

Essential: Solid experience in corporate tax compliance and advisory across diverse clients
Ideal: CTA qualification (though they value proven expertise and will absolutely consider those qualified by experience - they look at the person, not just the letters after your name)

So, if you're tired of being just another number, craving real responsibility earlier in your career, or simply want to enjoy your work again in a supportive environment where your wellbeing matters - let's talk.
