Job description

Job Title: Accountant / Personal Tax Manager

Location: Midsomer Norton

Salary: Up to £50,000 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience

Job type: Full Time, Permanent

The company:

The Company work with ambitious business owners. Ambition is a subjective word and can range from wanting to be the next Richard Branson down to just having a little more work/life balance. Whatever level of ambition the client has, we will look to help them achieve it. We have a wide range of skills from traditional online accounting and VAT filings, through to statutory accounts. Taxation work includes usual Self-Assessment filings and personal tax planning. We are able to offer advice on a large range of business requirements. Finally, we can provide a range of legal services and we can even undertake probate work. These skills allow us to and assist you and your family from cradle to grave…… and beyond! In short, our purpose is to make the difference on your journey.

The role:

We are seeking a suitably qualified personal tax manager to run our business private client portfolio. The applicant should ideally be qualified and have good organisational skills to ensure compliance requirements are always achieved. The applicant should have a "can do" attitude that aligns to our values.

The role entails preparing and managing the Self-Assessment returns for our clients, which will include liaising with the accounts team and overseeing the work of tax work completed by assistants. The role would suit someone already in a similar role or, may be a step up for an experienced assistant looking for progression. In light of the ever-changing tax laws, current working in a tax practice environment is essential.

Please note, there is a non-contributory pension scheme included as part of the package.

Candidate requirements:

A good and current knowledge of the various UK tax laws is required to specifically include knowledge of landlord buy to let income and gains. There are also some cases where overseas income or residency rules or knowledge and experience of onshore trusts are key. There will be a large amount of client contact and so excellent inter personal skills plus an ability to translate complex tax law into the language of a lay person is essential. As the role is predominantly customer facing and most clients live close to our offices, the position is office based only. Whilst the role is based at our Head Office, there will be a need to visit our other office from time to time, plus possibly client visits.
