Let's talk about the role...

As a Tax Advisory Consultant, you'll be at the heart of our tax team, working directly with managers and directors to give clients clear, proactive advice that makes a real difference. No two days look the same, and you'll have the support and room to grow your own client portfolio. You'll:

• Deliver practical, commercial tax advice to owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and private clients, from corporation tax and VAT to capital gains, inheritance tax and succession planning
• Spot opportunities and risks for clients, turning technical tax rules into clear, plain English recommendations they can act on
• Plan and lead advisory projects such as business sales, restructures, share schemes and extractions of profit, from first conversation to final report
• Work alongside managers, directors and colleagues across the group to bring in specialist input, including R&D, capital allowances and corporate finance
• Build long-lasting relationships and become the trusted go-to for your clients, getting under the skin of their business and personal goals
• Review and sign off tax computations and returns, supporting compliance colleagues where needed
• Coach and develop trainees, and keep up to date with legislative change so our advice stays ahead of the curve

Let's talk about you and your skills...

Hungry for a new challenge, you'll:

• Hold ACA, ACCA, CTA or ATT qualifications, or be part-qualified and working towards them
• Have solid experience in a tax advisory role within an accountancy or professional services firm
• Bring strong technical knowledge across a range of taxes, with a particular interest in owner-managed business and private client work
• Communicate brilliantly, explaining complex points simply to clients and colleagues alike
• Be confident managing your own workload and deadlines, with a keen eye for detail
• Enjoy working as part of a team and sharing knowledge with the people around you
• Have a curious, innovative mindset and a passion for finding the best solution for every client
