Corporate Tax Director - #2103401

Opportunities at Director level within a leading firm of Chartered Accountants are rare, and this Corporate Tax Director role in Leeds is a particularly significant one, sitting within a well-regarded and ambitious tax practice with the client base, the team, and the strategic vision to offer an outstanding platform for any senior corporate tax professional ready to operate at the very highest level of the profession, with flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.

Crowe Watson Recruitment is one of a very small number of specialist accountancy recruiters with the experience and professional credibility to handle a Director level appointment with the discretion and rigour it demands. The team has a deep understanding of the senior corporate tax market across the North of England, and for a career move of this magnitude, Crowe Watson is the partner you want alongside you.

As Corporate Tax Director, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of the firm’s corporate tax offering, leading a high-performing team, and overseeing a prestigious and complex client portfolio whilst working closely with partners to drive the continued growth of the practice. This is a role for an individual of genuine seniority who combines exceptional technical expertise with commercial acumen, leadership gravitas, and the business development capability to make a lasting impact at one of Leeds’ most respected practices.
