Tax Manager

🏢 This is a Hybrid role, working from our London (Moorgate) Offices 3 days per week.

Finance at Capital on Tap

Our Finance team sits at the heart of everything we do. The team is responsible for financial reporting, statutory compliance, payroll, and treasury across our UK and US entities, working closely with the rest of the business to ensure we have the financial foundations to keep growing. We're a lean, high-ownership team where you'll get real breadth across the finance function and plenty of opportunity to shape how things are done as we scale.

What You'll Be Doing

This is the first dedicated tax role in the business, reporting directly to the Financial Controller. You'll be responsible for all elements of tax, including corporation tax, VAT, transfer pricing, R&D tax relief and PSA, with a predominantly UK focus and some exposure to US federal and state tax reporting and compliance.

You'll have a significant opportunity to add value by reviewing, improving and creating the tax risk management processes and controls that keep the business compliant as it scales. This critical position requires strong technical tax knowledge, sound commercial judgement, and the ability to explain complex tax matters clearly to non-tax colleagues.
