M&A Tax Manager

M&A Assistant Manager / Manager
£45,000 - £67,000
Leading independent Firm

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the high-growth Transaction Tax team at a leading independent firm.

This team has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, commercially focused advice across buy-side and sell-side transactions, advising on some of the largest transactions in the region.

With demand continuing to increase, the team is looking to appoint an ambitious Assistant Manager, Manager or Senior Manager to play a key role in its next phase of growth.

Team Structure

• The team is partner-led, with senior leadership spanning corporate and private client transaction advisory.
• Delivery is supported by a dedicated senior hire and a flexible pool of experienced tax specialists drawn from the wider firm when required.
• This structure mirrors that of larger national firms while retaining a local, agile and entrepreneurial feel, allowing the team to scale efficiently around transactions while maintaining technical depth and quality of service.

The Opportunity

• Typical deal size ranges from £5m-£50m (average £10m-£20m), and there are roughly 10-15 acquisitions per year
• Regular repeat transactions with existing clients and stakeholder
  You will work on either buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence, tax structuring on acquisitions and disposals
• Advising owner-managed and mid-market businesses, private equity-backed transactions

What We're Looking For

• Exposure to buy-side and/or sell-side transaction work or strong corporate tax technical grounding
• Experience working in a mid-market, fast-paced environment
• Confidence engaging with owner-managed businesses and private equity stakeholders
• A commercial mindset aligned with high-quality client service

Culture & Working Environment

• No rigid hybrid working policy - you manage your own time but despite this, the team naturally gravitates to the office to support development and cohesion
• High autonomy - employees inform, not ask, when taking time out
• No formal dress code
• Friendly and social culture with a strong mix of age groups
• Regular social activity - sporting events (snooker, darts), external events and occasional post-work pub visits
