An established and highly regarded accountancy practice in Tunbridge Wells is looking to welcome an experienced and capable Tax Accountant into the team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident, technically strong tax professional who enjoys variety and is looking to take on a visible, impactful role in a supportive and forward-thinking firm.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and high-performing environment, working with a wide range of clients and delivering a full spectrum of tax services – both advisory and compliance-based. There’s real scope here for someone who enjoys problem solving, thrives on responsibility, and wants to play a meaningful role in a respected practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Delivering expert tax advice across a broad range of areas, including income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, estate planning, and group restructuring
• Preparing and reviewing tax returns and computations for a wide-ranging client base – individuals, owner-managed businesses, and corporate groups
• Supporting colleagues with tax queries, and acting as a technical resource across the firm
• Providing proactive tax planning and advisory support to help clients optimise their tax positions
• Handling HMRC correspondence and resolving enquiries and disputes on behalf of clients
• Monitoring tax legislation changes and ensuring both internal processes and client affairs remain compliant
• Mentoring junior team members, offering both technical and professional guidance
• Playing a key role in high-value advisory and restructuring projects

What We’re Looking For

• CTA qualified (or qualified by substantial experience)
• Strong all-round tax knowledge, gained in a practice environment
• Confident communicator with the ability to build trusted client relationships
• Commercially minded, technically strong, and solutions focused
• Highly organised, with a sharp eye for detail and a proactive approach
• Comfortable juggling deadlines, managing multiple priorities, and advising colleagues at all levels

Nice to Have (But Not Essential)

• Experience managing a portfolio of tax clients
• Prior team leadership or mentoring responsibility

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary (market rate, depending on experience)
• Death in Service Insurance (5x salary)
• Private Medical Insurance
• A stable, supportive team and great working culture
• The opportunity to work on interesting, varied, and rewarding tax work every day

This is a brilliant role for a technically strong and people-savvy tax professional looking for more than just a job – it's a chance to step into a valued, long-term position with plenty of autonomy and support.
