Distinct are proud to be partnering with International Personal Finance to recruit their next Group Tax Manager. This is a rare opportunity to shape tax strategy in an international business with purpose. International Personal Finance (IPF) helps millions of customers across Europe and Mexico access affordable credit and insurance products. While many financial institutions focus on customers who have the most options, IPF's purpose is centred on supporting those who often have the fewest. For more than a century, the business has helped widen access to financial services through a responsible and sustainable approach to lending. Today, IPF combines the scale and complexity of an international listed group with a culture that remains collaborative, entrepreneurial and genuinely people-focused. Following internal career progression, IPF is now looking to add a Group Tax Manager to its Leeds-based team, and this is a properly broad, hands-on role rather than one focused purely on compliance delivery. The role You'll take a hands-on lead across a wide range of UK and international tax matters, partnering closely with colleagues across finance, treasury and overseas operations. Day to day that means managing the tax affairs of UK group companies, including intra-group financing, CFC positions, CIR rules, R&D reviews and SAO requirements, alongside involvement in HMRC enquiries as they arise. You'll also pick up UK tax aspects of group treasury policy and play a key role in year end and interim tax reporting for IPF's consolidated accounts under IFRS, including review of overseas tax packs and UK tax calculations. There's a strong transfer pricing element too. You'll support the Group Head of Tax on the group's governance framework and get stuck into the ongoing development of transfer pricing strategy, including Master File and Country by Country Reporting, and supporting APA negotiations with revenue authorities. You'll be liaising regularly with in house local tax managers overseas, so this isn't a role where you're sat in isolation, it's genuinely cross border and collaborative. What they're looking for You'll be ACA or CTA qualified (or both), with in depth knowledge of UK taxation including international aspects such as CFCs and CIR. Strong technical skills, the ability to manage complex issues independently, and some direct experience handling HMRC disputes are all important here. Exposure to international tax or cross border transactions would be a real advantage, though none of that is a dealbreaker if your core UK technical background is strong. The package Salary: CompetitiveCar allowance: £6,000Annual bonus: 25%Pension: 10% employer contributionPrivate medical insurance: Family coverIncome protection: 50% salary protection for five years Based in Leeds on a hybrid basis (2 to 3 days a week in the office), this is a role that offers real strategic visibility, international exposure and the chance to broaden your technical and commercial expertise within a listed international group, all without losing the collaborative, down to earth culture IPF is known for. Interested? If this sounds like the kind of move you've been thinking about, I'd love to have a conversation. All enquiries handled in the strictest confidence. Distinct Recruitment Privacy Policy

Are you a Financial Controller looking for a business that is already in great shape - and wants you to make it even better? This is not a turnaround. There is no crisis to fix, no chaos to manage, and no fire to put out. This is a privately owned, £30 million turnover e-commerce business that has been growing steadily for years - and is now bringing in an experienced Financial Controller to help take things to the next level. The business is well-run, well-established, and financially healthy. What it is ready for now is sharper financial leadership. Better processes. Greater efficiency. And a qualified accountant who can sit alongside the CEO and help shape the direction of the business, not just report on it. Here is what makes this role genuinely interesting. The CEO is the former Financial Controller. They understand exactly what good finance looks like, they value the function, and they want a true right-hand person - not someone to hand reports to and wave off. You will have direct access, genuine influence, and a leadership team that speaks your language. You will inherit a small, solid finance team and have the scope to develop them. You will find plenty of opportunity to improve processes and drive efficiencies - not because things are broken, but because a growing business always has room to sharpen. And you will own the full financial operation: reporting, compliance, cash management, forecasting, budgeting, and the commercial insight that sits behind every significant decision. What is on offer: £70,000 to £80,000 starting salary + Benefits 33 days holiday including bank holidays4 days on site, 1 day WFH Clear progression opportunities - candidates are expected to grow with the business. Contributions are valued - no bureaucracy, quick and agile environment. You will be a qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, or ACA) with a background in an SME or commercial environment and the confidence to take full ownership of a finance function.
