US Corporate Tax Senior Manager

US Corporate Tax Manager / Senior Manager (US‑Qualified CPA)

Location: London (Hybrid)

We are partnering with a growing advisory team in London that supports UK and international businesses as they expand into the US. This is a rare opportunity for a US‑qualified CPA to deliver high‑quality US corporate tax work while based in the UK, acting as the go‑to specialist for inbound US tax matters.

If you enjoy combining US domestic tax with international advisory, and want a role with real influence and client exposure, this could be an excellent next step.

The Opportunity

You'll serve as the US tax subject‑matter expert within a multidisciplinary UK‑based team, advising ambitious, high‑growth companies entering or operating in the United States. You will have significant autonomy, direct access to founders and CFOs, and the chance to shape and develop a specialist UK-US service offering.

Key Responsibilities

US Corporate Tax & Compliance

  • Prepare and review US federal and state corporate income tax returns.
  • Manage ongoing compliance for US subsidiaries of UK‑parented groups.
  • Assess state nexus, filing obligations and practical sales tax considerations.
  • Maintain and manage US compliance calendars and deadlines.

Advising UK Companies Expanding into the US

  • Advise on US entity formations, structure selection (C‑Corp, LLC, etc.) and initial compliance requirements.
  • Partner with UK tax teams on transfer pricing considerations, withholding taxes and cross‑border reporting.
  • Clearly explain US tax concepts to non‑US stakeholders, including founders, finance teams and legal advisers.

Collaboration & Client Delivery

  • Act as the US technical lead within a UK‑based advisory practice.
  • Work closely with UK corporate tax, payroll, legal and company secretarial teams.
  • Support proposals, scoping discussions and client meetings with clear, commercial advice.

Requirements

  • US CPA qualification (essential).
  • Strong background in US corporate tax and compliance.
  • Experience working with US entities owned by non‑US parents or with inbound/international US tax issues.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical matters simply, clearly and commercially.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • A unique chance to deliver high-quality US tax work while living in the UK.
  • High visibility with founders, CFOs and senior decision‑makers.
  • Opportunity to help build and shape a growing UK-US service line.
  • Work within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team across tax, legal and commercial specialists.
