This is a unique opportunity for experienced tax advisers who want to work with large and complex clients in a fast-paced environment where they can thrive and have a real impact. For those who want to break free of the traditional career structures of a professional services firm while still working with high-profile clients at the forefront of innovation we could be the perfect choice. We're ForrestBrown, a firm of chartered tax advisers specialising in research and development (R&D) tax, but also helping to amplify the benefits of scientific and technological advancement across a range of innovation focused tax reliefs. Our team has substantial experience and technical expertise which, combined with our passion for our clients and entrepreneurial spirit, helps us deliver outstanding results for a wide portfolio of innovative clients. We have offices in Bristol, Scotland and London and are proud to be one of the largest specialist R&D tax teams in the UK. Over the last ten years, ForrestBrown has developed a diverse client portfolio, providing market-leading advice to businesses of all sizes across a broad range of sectors, to help them access innovation incentives to fuel their growth. We are proud to already count FTSE-listed and S&P 500 businesses amongst our clients. Our portfolio of large and complex clients continues to grow and there is a strategic opportunity for us to support a greater number of large and complex businesses: those with multiple entities, complex tax profiles and multiple stakeholders. We are looking for an experienced tax advisor, with a track record in delivering innovation incentive advice for large businesses to help us manage a portfolio of clients, focused on complex claim preparation, and to help contribute to the further development of our reputation in this area, helping to leverage opportunities for further growth. As a tax manager, you'll act as a trusted adviser to a portfolio of clients and partners - there to advise, assist and update them on all aspects of R&D tax incentives. You'll need to get to know our diverse client base inside and out, understanding the wider tax and commercial impact of the advice you give - both on your clients' businesses and on the industry. You'll be a proponent for excellence in all that you do, helping us to lead the way on providing a pre-eminent and unmatched level of service. Teamwork and collaboration will be essential in this role. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team of accountants, lawyers and sector specialists across our offices to deliver bespoke, market leading, advice to our clients, supporting them in finding unique solutions to their innovation funding challenges. If you're looking for a change, and the opportunity to make a real difference and feel the impact of your work, this role could be for you. To be successful in this role you will hold a relevant tax or accountancy qualification (ATT, CTA, ACA or equivalent) and be commercially minded with 2-3 years ' post-qualification experience in tax (ideally corporate tax). You don ' t need to know all the specifics of R&D already - that ' s something we can teach you. If you are a self-starter that is looking to use their tax experience in a different environment, where your passion, ambition and excellence can be rewarded, then you could be exactly what we are looking for. We welcome applications from candidates that appreciate flexibility in their work schedule. At ForrestBrown, our culture thrives on collaboration, learning, and celebrating success together. While we embrace flexibility, we operate with a predominantly office-based structure, where employees spend at least three days in our vibrant offices (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), with hybrid working options available for the remaining days. Please note, we are unable to offer sponsorship for employment visas at this time. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.

Our team has substantial experience and technical expertise which, combined with our passion for our clients and entrepreneurial spirit, helps us deliver outstanding results for a wide portfolio of innovative clients. We have offices in Bristol, Scotland and London and are proud to be one of the largest specialist R&D tax teams in the UK. Over the last ten years, ForrestBrown has developed a diverse client portfolio, providing market-leading advice to businesses of all sizes across a broad range of sectors, to help them access innovation incentives to fuel their growth. We are proud to already count FTSE-listed and S&P 500 businesses amongst our clients. Our portfolio of large and complex clients continues to grow and there is a strategic opportunity for us to support a greater number of large and complex businesses: those with multiple entities, complex tax profiles and multiple stakeholders. We are looking for an experienced tax advisor, with a track record in delivering innovation incentive advice for large businesses to help us manage a portfolio of clients, focused on complex claim preparation, and to help contribute to the further development of our reputation in this area, helping to leverage opportunities for further growth. As a tax manager, you'll act as a trusted adviser to a portfolio of clients and partners - there to advise, assist and update them on all aspects of R&D tax incentives. You'll need to get to know our diverse client base inside and out, understanding the wider tax and commercial impact of the advice you give - both on your clients' businesses and on the industry. You'll be a proponent for excellence in all that you do, helping us to lead the way on providing a pre-eminent and unmatched level of service. Teamwork and collaboration will be essential in this role. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team of accountants, lawyers and sector specialists across our offices to deliver bespoke, market leading, advice to our clients, supporting them in finding unique solutions to their innovation funding challenges. If you're looking for a change, and the opportunity to make a real difference and feel the impact of your work, this role could be for you. To be successful in this role you will hold a relevant tax or accountancy qualification (ATT, CTA, ACA or equivalent) and be commercially minded with 2-3 years ' post-qualification experience in tax (ideally corporate tax). You don ' t need to know all the specifics of R&D already - that ' s something we can teach you. If you are a self-starter that is looking to use their tax experience in a different environment, where your passion, ambition and excellence can be rewarded, then you could be exactly what we are looking for. We welcome applications from candidates that appreciate flexibility in their work schedule. At ForrestBrown, our culture thrives on collaboration, learning, and celebrating success together. While we embrace flexibility, we operate with a predominantly office-based structure, where employees spend at least three days in our vibrant offices (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays), with hybrid working options available for the remaining days. Please note, we are unable to offer sponsorship for employment visas at this time. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship.
