Glasgow or Edinburgh (Hybrid Working) Up to £80,000 (DOE) + Excellent Benefits
If you’re one of the few Corporate Tax professionals who genuinely understands R&D Tax—and how it flows through into the tax return - this is a standout opportunity to step into a role with real ownership and long-term upside.
This isn’t a volume-driven R&D shop. It’s a strategic hire into a growing, well-regarded firm that wants someone to take control of their R&D offering and build it into something bigger.
The role
You’ll sit at the centre of the firm’s R&D client portfolio, working across technology, life sciences and manufacturing businesses, ensuring technical accuracy and commercial value at every stage. It is an oversight role – less doing; more owning, reviewing, leading and developing.
Your remit will include:
* Managing a portfolio of Corporate Tax and R&D clients
* Reviewing and signing off tax computations and returns, ensuring R&D claims are correctly embedded
* Overseeing junior staff who prepare the underlying work—driving quality and consistency
* Acting as a key point of contact for clients on R&D incentives, structuring and compliance
* Managing HMRC enquiries relating to R&D claims
* Identifying opportunities to expand and evolve the R&D service line
What they’re looking for
* Strong experience across Corporate Tax AND R&D Tax
* Proven ability to integrate R&D claims into tax computations and returns
* ATT / CTA / CA / ACCA qualified (or qualified by experience)
* Experience at review level
* Confident communicator with strong client-facing skills
* Commercial mindset—someone who can spot opportunities, not just process work
What’s in it for you
* Salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
* Hybrid working with flexibility across Glasgow or Edinburgh
* 35 days holiday + buy/sell scheme
* Strong pension + life cover
* Structured training and development support
* A genuine route to shape and grow a service line, not just operate within one
