We are seeking a Manager to join our growing Owner‑Managed Business (OMB) tax team. This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with a Partner, advising Irish entrepreneurs, family‑owned businesses and their shareholders on a wide range of tax matters across the business lifecycle.

This is an ideal role for a tax professional who enjoys technical work, direct client interaction and commercial problem‑solving, and who wants clear exposure to partnership‑level thinking and decision‑making at an early stage in their career.

Your responsibilities will include:

Advising owner‑managed businesses and shareholders on:

Business structures, reorganisations and group planning

Income tax, corporation tax and capital taxes

Succession planning, exit planning and shareholder issues

Leading tax advisory projects from planning through to implementation

Working directly with clients, including attending meetings and presenting advice

Preparing and reviewing technical tax memos and client deliverables

Supporting transaction‑related work (buy‑sell, MBOs, restructurings)

Reviewing tax compliance work for SMEs and their shareholders

Coaching and developing trainees and junior staff

Contributing to business development initiatives and client proposals

Working closely with the Partner to develop pragmatic, commercially focused solutions

About You

You are likely to have:

Qualified as a CTA (or equivalent), with solid Irish tax knowledge

2+ years post qualification experience in a professional services tax environment

Strong exposure to corporate tax, income tax, capital taxes and SME advisory work

A commercial mindset and genuine interest in how owner‑managed businesses operate

Confidence dealing directly with clients and senior stakeholders

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

A proactive attitude and desire to take ownership of your work

An interest in developing leadership and management skills as your role evolves

Why Join Us?

This role is designed to appeal to ambitious early‑career managers who want more than just technical work.

We offer:

Direct access to a Partner and involvement in client strategy discussions

Early responsibility and meaningful client exposure

A strong advisory focus rather than purely compliance‑driven work

Clear progression opportunities in a growing practice

A collaborative, supportive culture with a genuine investment in people

Competitive remuneration and benefits

You will work with a diverse portfolio of Irish owner‑managed businesses across a range of sectors, including property, retail, technology and family‑owned enterprises, advising entrepreneurs at key moments in their business journey.
