Tax Manager/Director - Large Practice

Our client is a large accountancy firm based in Dublin. They employ in excess of 50 staff. Their client base comprises a wide range of indigenous, multinational and high-net-worth clients.

Role Overview

They have an established tax department with a number of tax professionals each having their own portfolio. Our client wishes to appoint a Head of Tax, who will take over running of the tax division within the practice. The main focus of the role is to develop the fee income of the division by providing additional services to existing clients and by attracting new clients. The main elements of the role will include:

Business Development

• Development of “tax products” for clients
• Managing fee targets
• Reviewing existing client profiles with a view to identifying tax planning opportunities
• Liaison with external organizations (i.e. Banks, Government bodies) to generate new business

Tax Consultancy

• Handling diverse tax advisory projects
• Attending as the “tax person” at meetings
• Interacting with solicitors and bankers in finalising deals
• Corporate and personal financial structures in regard to business acquisitions/structuring and reorganisations
• Wealth Management Strategies

Who will the role suit?

The successful candidate will manage and develop their own team. The candidate should have a number of year’s experience managing a large client allocation, both personal and corporate. This may be within a large or medium accountancy firm where they have experience of high volume taxation returns. The role could suit a Manager within a smaller firm who feels that they need to integrate into a larger structure to develop their career or a Manager in a Big 4/Top 20 practice looking to take ownership of a tax function in a smaller firm.

Career Prospects

As this is a newly created role within a progressive accountancy firm, the position offers career potential leading to partnership. Salary and benefits will reflect the seniority of this role.
