About Us:
We are a specialist boutique accounting and tax advisory firm focused exclusively on the UK–Australia cross-border space. We have built a trusted reputation for technical excellence and personalised service, working with private clients, SMEs, and trusts. Our team operates in both jurisdictions, and we provide a seamless compliance and advisory service across tax, structuring, and international reporting obligations.
Position Summary:
We are seeking a proactive and experienced Tax Manager to take over an established portfolio of corporate clients across both Australia and the UK. The role involves end-to-end management of compliance obligations (Australian and UK) for SME companies, trusts, and partnerships, with a focus on Australian compliance and limited UK corporate filings.
This is a client-facing role requiring strong technical capability, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently. Support and mentoring will be available, but the role is not suitable for a junior or training candidate.

UK Compliance
* Prepare and lodge UK VAT returns for a small number of corporate clients
* Manage UK payroll processing and year-end reporting
* Prepare UK company financial statements and corporation tax returns (CT600s)
* Manage UK Confirmation Statements and Companies House filings
You do not need prior experience in UK corporate compliance to be successful in this role. You just need to have a willingness to learn and apply new knowledge in this area.
Other Corporate Matters
* Set up Australian and UK companies and trusts
* Apply for ABNs, TFNs, and other ATO registrations
* Manage various ad-hoc corporate tasks as they arise
Skills & Experience Required:
* Minimum 3 years' experience in Australian corporate tax compliance (mandatory)
* Strong working knowledge of Australian company and trust compliance requirements
* Experience preparing financial statements using Xero
* High level of autonomy, initiative, and reliability in managing workload
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, including client interaction
* Experience with NowInfinity and/or UK software (e.g., TaxCalc, Companies House portal)
* Experience in UK corporate tax compliance
* Exposure to UK–Australia cross-border tax issues
Reporting Line:
