Job description

Location: Maidenhead, Sevenoaks or Oakham.

An opportunity has arisen to join Wilson Partners, an award-winning Accounting, Tax and Corporate Finance firm recognized in 2023 and 2024 as ‘Outstanding to work for’ by Best Companies.

We work with ambitious SMEs, their owners, and Private Equity houses, combining the financial expertise, experience, and accessibility of our talented team to help them achieve their goals. Like our clients, we’re ambitious too. We aim to be a top 20 accounting firm by 2026, investing in our people and providing innovative, value-added accounting, tax, and corporate finance solutions that empower clients to make better decisions.

Your new role

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in tax. You’ll work with a varied portfolio of clients, predominantly tech start-ups and scale-ups. You’ll collaborate with our Innovations Director to ensure R&D claims are accurate and completed within agreed timescales.

This role is mainly client-facing. You’ll discuss the latest technology developments with clients’ technical teams, helping to identify eligible R&D activities and documenting these to support R&D claims. The role suits someone communicative, with a background in IT/Computer Science and an interest in technology. You’ll need to be a good team player with excellent organizational skills, capable of managing your workload and deadlines.

Wilson Partners was established in 2008 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, by brothers Allan and Chris. From the outset, the focus has been on team culture, driven by the belief that our business is all about the people. With offices in Maidenhead, Cambridge, Sevenoaks, Woking, Plymouth, Oakham, and South Africa, and a team nearing 300, we’re here to make a positive impact. Our growth means we are always looking for great talent.

We do things a little differently. We’re business enthusiasts who happen to be accountants. We challenge and seek to be challenged, striving for excellence so our clients and team see the value in our work and the difference we can make.
