Job description

Our client, a prestigious full-service Top 100 legal practice with an outstanding reputation for private client services, is searching for a Private Client Trusts and estates Tax Specialist to join its dynamic and ever-growing Private Client team. This exciting role is focused on tax and accounting compliance support for trusts and estates, working closely with a team of experts who thrive on delivering exceptional results.

What You'll Be Doing

In this role, you'll take on the challenge of preparing detailed and accurate estate accounts, annual trust account, trust & estate tax returns, IHT returns, CGT returns, & more. Your responsibilities will also include managing trust administration tasks, updating the Trust Registration Service, and supporting the firm's trust company as a professional executor and trustee.

You'll be at the heart of a team that values work-life balance, collaboration, and technical expertise. There is also some scope to get involved in advisory projects, and identifying planning opportunities is encouraged to ensure the best possible outcomes for clients and help the Private Client team maintain its top-tier reputation.

Who They are Looking For

The ideal candidate will have at least three years of practical experience in accountancy or tax and a solid understanding of trusts and estates. If you hold qualifications like STEP, ATT, or CTA, that's a huge plus, but if you're eager to achieve these, our client is more than happy to support you.

You should have excellent attention to detail, strong IT skills (especially Excel), and the ability to multitask while remaining calm under pressure. Experience with CCH Personal Tax or CCH Trust Accounts software is an advantage, but a proactive and adaptable attitude will serve you just as well.

This role is for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys a good work life balance, and takes pride in delivering work of the highest standard.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers the chance to work with one of the UK's most respected Private Client teams. The team is known for its expertise in complex matters, including cross-border work and dual-qualified legal services.

You'll benefit from hybrid working, which allows you to work remotely for up to 40% of your time. You'll also enjoy a competitive salary and a generous benefits package. The firm actively supports professional development, offering fantastic opportunities to enhance your skills and grow your career.

About Our Client

With a team of nearly 70 professionals and three London offices, our client's Private Client department is renowned for its technical expertise and innovative approach. The firm takes a collaborative, client-focused approach to all matters and has built a reputation for providing outstanding service, often acting as trusted advisers to other legal professionals.
