Purpose-led organisation driving modal shift | High-impact tax ownership | Broad role developing into reporting | Transformation and improvement focus
If you’re a Tax & Financial Reporting Accountant looking for a role where you can take real ownership of tax while building broader reporting exposure, this position offers exactly that balance.
You’ll step into a hands-on role with responsibility for UK corporate tax, VAT, and tax governance from day one. With around 70% of your focus on tax initially, you’ll also gain increasing exposure to financial reporting as the function evolves, giving you long-term breadth rather than a siloed path.
This role suits someone who wants to get into the detail, improve processes, and play a visible part in shaping a finance function undergoing change.
Package & Benefits
- Salary £75,000 per annum.
- Hybrid working with 3 days in the office and 2 from home.
- 25 days holiday plus pension scheme.
- Defined contribution pension with access to defined benefit after 3 years’ service.
- Salary sacrifice scheme available.
About the Company
You’ll be joining a purpose-led, asset-intensive organisation operating at scale across the UK logistics and infrastructure sector. With a focus on shifting freight from road to rail, the business is driving efficiency, sustainability, and long-term value. Following recent structural change, the finance function is being reshaped to improve controls, processes, and reporting quality.
Key Responsibilities
- Own UK corporate tax and VAT compliance, including returns, payments, and reporting.
- Lead tax reporting for statutory accounts and support IFRS reporting and disclosures.
- Maintain and improve tax controls, governance, and documentation including SAO compliance.
- Support financial reporting activities including month-end, balance sheet integrity, and stakeholder reporting.
About You
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong UK corporate tax experience.
- Hands-on experience across VAT and corporation tax in an industry or practice setting.
- Exposure to IFRS reporting with an interest in developing broader financial reporting capability.
