Alternative Accountancy Tax Leaders
Leadership, strategy and innovation
For tax leaders in the UK’s mid-top tier accountancy firms
2-3 March 2027
Wyboston Lakes Resort, Bedfordshire
#TaxLeaders2027
The tax world is shifting – fast.
MTD pressures, rising regulation, capacity constraints and higher client expectations mean tax leaders are carrying more strategic responsibility than ever.
That’s exactly why we’re launching Alternative Accountancy Tax Leaders, a sharp, practical half-day event built exclusively for Tax Partners, Heads of Tax and senior tax leaders from the UK’s Top 300 accountancy firms.
No fluff. No sales pitches. Just practical, relevant conversations on:
- Building/Leading instead of building and retaining high-performing tax teams
- MTD readiness and risk – fixing what’s still not working
- Tech that genuinely transforms workflow
- Managing risk in an evolving landscape
- Rethinking the future of tax advisory
You’ll join a room of peers who understand your world – all sharing experiences, challenging thinking and leaving with ideas you can implement.
Watch our highlights reel from Alternative Accountancy 2026
A must-attend day
As part of Alternative Accountancy Tech, which is now in its 10th year, you’ll benefit from two powerful events in one, at the same venue.
Your day starts with the morning Alternative Accountancy Tech programme, where we showcase the latest innovations driving growth, productivity and profitability across accountancy firms.
Then… after lunch, tax leaders break away into a focused, closed-door agenda dedicated to solving the biggest challenges facing tax teams today.
Your invitation also includes:
- A complimentary overnight stay on Tuesday 2 March
- Access to day two of Alternative Accountancy Tech on Wednesday 3 March
The agenda highlights will include:
- Capacity, workflow and productivity – getting hours back in the tax team
- AI, automation and tech – what’s transforming tax today
- Regulation and risk – staying ahead without drowning in compliance
- Building a future-ready tax function – powered by the right tech stack
- MTD readiness and risk – fixing what’s still not working
- Talent, pricing and profitability – protecting margins while evolving the proposition
Grow with confidence
Get clarity on what’s next (and what to do about it)
Tax is being pulled in every direction from MTD and regulation to resourcing pressures and rising client demands. Step out of delivery mode and reset your thinking, sharpening your priorities, your operating model, and your plan for what comes next.
Learn from tax leaders who live your reality
Join Tax Partners and Heads of Tax from the UK’s Top 300 firms for experience-led discussion. We’ll be talking about what’s working in firms right now - across people, process, pricing, and performance.
Relationships to last a business lifetime
This isn’t a one-off conference chat. It’s an invitation-only peer community built on the Alternative Events culture - where trust, openness and practical support are central, and conversations continue long after the event.
Two events in one (and the headspace to think properly)
Get the best of both worlds: the morning Alternative Accountancy Tech programme focused on innovation and productivity, then a closed-door Alternative Accountancy Tax Leaders agenda in the afternoon. Plus, a complimentary overnight stay — so you can properly switch off, connect, and reset your strategy.
