Senior Tax Accountant

Core3 is delighted to be working with an established PE international organisation in Newport to recruit a Senior Tax Accountant.

This is a newly influential position for a tax specialist who wants greater ownership inside a business. Rather than sitting on the outside providing advice, you’ll become the internal point of expertise for tax, working directly with senior finance leadership and colleagues across the wider organisation.

Why join our client

There’s a clear opportunity here to make the role your own. The organisation wants to build stronger tax capability internally, giving you the scope to decide how processes should work, where controls need strengthening and when external expertise genuinely adds value.

You’ll inherit a varied international remit rather than a narrow specialism. Alongside corporate tax, you’ll gain exposure to indirect and employment taxes, international matters and tax governance.

There’s also a major finance systems project underway. As Senior Tax Accountant, you’ll have a voice in how tax requirements are incorporated from the outset, creating better data, reporting and controls for the future.

How you’ll make an impact

• Build greater tax capability internally and establish clear, repeatable ways of working
• Take responsibility for UK corporate tax activity and associated reporting
• Coordinate tax requirements across international entities, working with local specialists where appropriate
• Give practical tax guidance to colleagues when new transactions or commercial activity arise
• Improve visibility of tax positions, liabilities and future cash requirements
• Maintain appropriate governance, documentation and controls across the tax function
• Oversee indirect, employment and cross-border tax matters
• Manage transfer pricing and tax considerations arising from intercompany activity
• Ensure tax balances and provisions are accurately reflected within financial reporting
• Work directly with auditors, advisers and relevant authorities
• Represent tax during the implementation of a new finance system
• Use better processes and technology to reduce manual activity and improve reporting

Why you’re a great fit

You’ll be a qualified tax professional, such as CTA or equivalent, with the technical knowledge to take ownership rather than rely heavily on external advisers.

Strong UK corporation tax experience is important, including computations, provisions and returns. You’ll also understand the wider tax environment, with experience that could include VAT, employment taxes, transfer pricing, withholding tax, customs or international compliance.

You’ll have operated within an international or multi-entity environment and be comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders. Experience gained within a leading accountancy practice would be particularly relevant, as would experience moving tax activity from external advisers into an internal finance team.

You’ll also bring a process improvement mindset. Experience influencing ERP or finance systems changes from a tax perspective would be valuable, alongside strong Excel, analytical and communication skills.

What you’ll get in return

As Senior Tax Accountant, you’ll be given genuine ownership and the opportunity to shape how tax is managed across a growing international organisation.

• £80,000–£90,000 salary
• Permanent position
• Direct exposure to senior finance leadership
• Broad international tax remit
• Opportunity to establish stronger in-house tax capability
• Involvement in a significant finance systems programme
• Autonomy to improve tax controls, processes and reporting
• Exposure well beyond traditional tax compliance

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates who believe they meet the role requirements. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we’ll provide any reasonable adjustments you may need throughout the recruitment process.

Financial Controller | Purpose Driven Tech Platform

£70,000 to £80,000 + bonus + benefits | London | Hybrid, 3 days in office

We’re partnering with a purpose driven technology platform to appoint an ACA qualified Financial Controller into a highly visible role within its Finance function.

This is a business where the mission is real. Its technology is genuinely helping improve people’s lives, while the company continues to grow across the UK and internationally.

Finance is highly valued across the organisation and this is far more than a role sitting behind the numbers. Reporting directly to the Director of Finance, you’ll have significant ownership, manage a small team and build relationships across the wider business.

It could be an excellent next move for an ACA qualified accountant looking to continue their career within industry, taking on broader ownership and developing towards senior Finance leadership.

The role

You’ll take ownership across a broad Financial Control remit, including:

• Owning the global month end close and delivering accurate, timely reporting
• Playing a key role in half year and full year reporting under IFRS
• Leading the relationship with external auditors and supporting statutory reporting
• Taking ownership of technical accounting areas including revenue recognition, intercompany and capitalised development costs
• Preparing Finance reporting for Board packs
• Managing VAT, R&D tax claims and other UK reporting requirements
• Managing and developing a small Finance team
• Working across international entities and stakeholders
• Improving financial processes, systems, reporting and controls
• Supporting future ERP and wider Finance transformation projects
• Exploring how automation and AI can make Finance more efficient and scalable

The business is particularly interested in someone who doesn’t simply maintain existing processes. They want somebody who can understand what’s there, take ownership and continuously look at how Finance can operate better.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be ACA qualified, with strong foundations across financial reporting, audit and technical accounting, and now looking for your next move within industry.

You’ll be comfortable getting into the detail rather than operating purely at review level. Experience within an international, listed or technology environment would be advantageous, but isn’t essential.

More importantly, you’ll be proactive, confident and comfortable taking ownership. You’ll need the personality to build relationships across departments, manage and develop junior team members and operate within a Finance function that has real visibility and value across the organisation.

£70,000 to £80,000 + bonus + benefits
London based
Hybrid, 3 days per week in the office

If you’re an ACA qualified accountant looking for a broad Financial Controller role where you can combine strong technical Finance with genuine purpose and impact, I’d be keen to speak.

FP&A Analyst

£40,000 to £45,000 | Remote UK | Occasional London Travel

We’re partnering with a fast growing, private equity backed international business to hire an FP&A Analyst with a genuine passion for data, analytics and technology.

This isn’t a traditional FP&A role.

Sitting within Finance, you’ll work with large and complex datasets, using Excel, Power Query, SQL and Power BI to extract, manipulate, reconcile and analyse data before turning it into meaningful financial and commercial insight.

The business is also embracing AI within Finance, including extensive use of Claude, and is going through a wider transformation of its data and reporting environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Analysing and manipulating large financial and commercial datasets
• Extracting and transforming data using Excel, Power Query and SQL
• Building and maintaining reporting and dashboards in Power BI
• Performing detailed reconciliations across different systems and investigating variances down to source data
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting and management reporting
• Analysing revenue, pricing, KPIs and wider business performance
• Supporting complex royalty analysis across significant transaction volumes
• Contributing to management and Board reporting
• Using Claude and other AI tools to improve analysis, automate processes and work more efficiently
• Helping move Finance away from manual reporting towards a more automated and scalable data environment

The role will initially take ownership of regular reporting and analysis before progressing into increasingly complex projects and broader analytical work.

What we’re specifically looking for

This role needs someone who already has a strong technical and analytical foundation.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience within FP&A, Financial Analysis or a data heavy Finance role
• Advanced Excel, including experience manipulating large datasets
• Strong working knowledge of Power Query
• Experience using SQL to query or extract data
• Experience with Power BI and data visualisation
• Experience reconciling data between different systems and investigating discrepancies
• A solid understanding of financial information, including the P&L
• Exposure to budgeting, forecasting or management reporting
• An interest in AI, ideally Claude or similar tools, and how it can be applied to Finance
• The ability to work independently and stay productive in a predominantly remote environment

ACA, ACCA or CIMA study is welcome, but the strength of your data and analytical skillset is more important than an accounting qualification.

Why this one?

You’ll be joining during a major period of growth and data transformation, with the opportunity to work across Finance, commercial, operations and international teams rather than being restricted to one narrow area.

It would particularly suit someone who enjoys getting under the bonnet of data, finding discrepancies, solving problems and building better ways of doing things.

£40,000 to £45,000
Remote anywhere in the UK
Occasional travel to the London hub, likely around once per month
25 days holiday + bank holidays, private healthcare, life insurance and participation in an equity event incentive scheme

Accounts Receivable Assistant

£33,000 to £35,000 | Central London | Hybrid, 2 days in the office

We’re working with a seriously cool, fast growing B Corp consumer brand to hire an Accounts Receivable Assistant into their Finance team.

This isn’t your typical AR role.

You’ll own the fundamentals across invoicing, cash collection, customer accounts, reconciliations and month end, but you’ll also be highly visible across the wider business, regularly working with Sales, Commercial and Operations.

The business has an awesome, outgoing culture and, importantly, a genuine track record of developing people. There are multiple examples of individuals joining in junior Finance and AR positions and progressing into Commercial Finance and senior Management Accounting roles.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing customer accounts, invoicing and credit notes
• Proactively collecting cash and resolving customer queries
• Working closely with Sales, Commercial and Operations
• Ecommerce and retail sales to cash reconciliations
• Supporting month end and aged debt reporting
• Investigating discrepancies across systems and data
• Helping improve and automate Order to Cash processes
• Working with NetSuite and Excel

What we’re looking for:

Some previous experience within AR, Accounts Receivable, Credit Control or a similar Finance role is important, but personality is equally key.

You’ll need to be confident, outgoing and comfortable speaking to people across a business. Someone curious, proactive and keen to understand the commercial story behind the numbers rather than simply processing transactions.

For someone early in their Finance career who wants exposure, progression and the opportunity to develop beyond traditional AR, this could be a brilliant move.

£33,000 to £35,000
Central London
2 days per week in the office
