Tax Accountant in Leicester

Job description

Tax Accountant

Location: Leicester

Salary: £50,000 to £60,000 + up to 15% bonus

Hybrid: Usually 2 to 3 days on site

If progression is important to you, this role stands out straight away. You’d be working with a Senior Tax Manager who has been promoted twice in four years, and there’s a clear, natural route into a future Tax Manager position as the team continues to grow.

If you’re looking for a broad tax role within a large, expanding retail group, this could be a great next step. The business continues to perform well, with strong trading results, steady revenue growth and ongoing investment across operations, digital and supply chain. They’ve also expanded internationally after a recent acquisition, adding more scope and complexity to the group’s tax profile.

The role

You’ll join a small, established Group Tax function and report directly to the Senior Tax Manager. The team covers all areas of group tax compliance including corporation tax, VAT, R&D claims, capital allowances and overseas tax. You’ll take ownership of tax planning, compliance, legislation updates and help ensure the group remains as efficient as possible from a tax perspective.

What they’re looking for

• Strong corporate tax background

• Ideally trained in practice

• Comfortable managing a varied, group-wide tax remit

• Able to support and develop an Assistant Tax Accountant

• Confident engaging with senior stakeholders, HMRC and external advisors

Why it stands out

• Clear progression into a future Tax Manager role

• Senior Tax Manager has progressed quickly (two promotions in four years)

• Broader scope and increased complexity following an international acquisition

• Strong bonus track record (up to 15%)

• 5% pension plus wider benefits

• Hybrid working with Tuesday as the core office day

If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, I’d be keen to hear your thoughts.
