Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Enjoy personal tax and ready to take your knowledge further?

Whether you're looking to specialise or build on your existing tax experience, this opportunity offers varied client work, exposure to more complex tax matters and full study support towards ATT and CTA qualifications.

We're recruiting for an established and growing accountancy practice in Wimborne, where you'll help individuals, high-net-worth clients, sole traders and landlords navigate their personal tax obligations.

You’ll build relationships, develop your technical skills and work towards managing your own client portfolio—with ongoing learning and progression opportunities along the way.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Preparing and submitting Self Assessment Tax Returns for a varied portfolio.
• Helping clients with personal tax queries and providing practical advice.
• Gaining exposure to buy-to-let property, foreign income, residency and Capital Gains Tax.
• Liaising directly with clients and HMRC to resolve queries and enquiries.
• Keeping client records accurate and ensuring compliance deadlines are met.
• Building trusted, long-term client relationships.
• Developing towards responsibility for your own portfolio.

• A good working knowledge of UK personal tax compliance.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confidence communicating with clients and HMRC.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach.

• £26,000-£30,000 salary, depending on experience.
• Full ATT and CTA study support to help you progress professionally.
• A generous study budget and ongoing CPD.
• Opportunities to develop your career and manage your own client portfolio.
