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.
