We're working with an established and highly regarded accountancy practice in Reading that's looking for a Personal Tax Senior to join its growing Private Client Tax team.

You’ll have plenty of autonomy over your own portfolio while working closely with experienced tax professionals, giving you the opportunity to further develop your technical knowledge and progress longer-term.

The Role

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Preparing Self-Assessment tax returns for individuals, sole traders and partnerships
• Managing your own portfolio and acting as a key contact for clients
