My Tax Partner
Running a finance team in a fast-paced business means moving quickly. But when your finance team is lean and tax complexity is rising, it’s easy for strategic tax planning to fall by the wayside - until it starts keeping you up at night. My Tax Partner gives you the senior-level support to manage risk and plan with confidence.
Benefit from a tax director, without the overhead.
We act as your outsourced tax partner, bringing clarity, confidence and continuity to your tax strategy, so you can focus on scaling your business.
For many businesses, tax only becomes a priority when something goes wrong. You’re busy juggling funding rounds, restructures, employee share schemes, and maybe international growth. Meanwhile regulations shift. Transactions get complex. And without a dedicated tax lead, it’s hard to know what to prioritise, or where the risks are.
But tax isn’t just about avoiding pitfalls. With the right advice, it can be a source of opportunity and a driver of growth, through reliefs, incentives, and smarter structuring that supports your long-term plans.
That’s where we come in as your Tax Partner.
We work with CFOs and FDs across all size of businesses, from fast-growth start-ups to PLCs, who need senior-level tax insight, strategy and planning, without the cost or commitment of a full-time employee.
We act as your embedded, strategic tax partner, identifying risks, opportunities and efficiencies before they appear on your horizon. Whether you need technical input on a live issue or help setting the wider direction, we’re here for both. We do the heavy lifting, so your finance team can focus on what they do best.

Tax strategy that scales with your business
Partnering with HaysMac’s My Tax Partner service means entrusting your tax needs to dedicated experts who provide clear, actionable guidance for your tax strategy. Here are a few ways that we can help.
Addressing resource gaps
Perhaps you lack specialist tax knowledge and expertise, you’ve lost a key hire, or your finance team is over-stretched.
We bring senior-level tax insight tailored to your business so that you gain confidence in your decisions. With a plethora of sector and market knowledge, we take tax off your plate, so you can focus on driving your strategy. Think of us as an extension of your team, ready to step in as a tax director when and where you need us.
Navigating business changes
You might be going through a restructure, transaction, funding round, or expansion into new markets.
We anticipate challenges and identify reliefs and efficiencies early so that you can minimise risk during critical business changes. We’re in it with you, helping to build a resilient, adaptable business that can thrive through change.
Tackling tax complexity
You might be struggling to understand up-coming compliance deadlines, changing regulations, or new legislation.
We help you stay ahead, handling complex tax issues and flagging issues early, so you don’t have to firefight later. You gain peace of mind knowing there’ll be no surprises.
Strategic planning
It’s typical in situations like yours to feel under pressure and like you’re chasing your tail on budget cycles, audits or investor scrutiny.
Our regular agenda-led sessions help you plan – not just react. With a smarter tax strategy, you’ll grow more efficiently, make better decisions, and show stakeholders you’re serious about governance. We help you get in front of issues, not buried in them.
How it works
Working with My Tax Partner is straightforward, flexible and designed to fit around your business goals.
Step 1: Complimentary discovery session
You’ll meet 2–3 of our senior tax professionals, with an agenda tailored specifically to your business. We come prepared with insight into your recent developments and sector-specific risks and opportunities based on our experience with clients operating in similar sectors and markets to you. This means that we focus on what matters most to you.
Step 2: Clear, actionable next steps
We follow up with an agreed scope of any work identified during the meeting; no jargon, no pressure, just practical recommendations aligned with your goals.
Step 3: Ongoing strategic input
We meet with you again in 3-6 months (or more regularly if required), updating you on ongoing work, refreshing your tax agenda to reflect new developments and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. It’s a rhythm that gives you confidence and clarity, and keeps your tax strategy evolving with your business.
And beyond…
We become an extension of your team, someone who understands your business, your goals, and your priorities. No hard sell. No generic advice. Just practical, proactive tax support tailored to you.
