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
