Job description

At Robson Laidler Group, we believe tax advice should do more than ensure compliance. It should create opportunities.

As a Tax Consultant, you will work closely with ambitious business owners, entrepreneurs, investors and families to help them make better decisions, protect their wealth and achieve their long-term goals.

This is a highly visible advisory role where your expertise will directly influence the success of our clients and the growth of our business. You will combine technical excellence with commercial thinking to identify opportunities, solve complex challenges and deliver meaningful outcomes that genuinely improve clients’ financial positions.

You will become a trusted adviser, building long-term relationships and helping clients navigate every stage of their journey – from business growth and succession planning to wealth preservation and strategic tax planning.

For the right person, this role offers the opportunity to develop a market-leading advisory profile, contribute to the future direction of our tax services and play a key role in the continued success of Robson Laidler Group.

Job Overview

Delivering Exceptional Tax Advice

• Providing proactive, commercially focused tax advice that delivers measurable value to clients.
• Identifying opportunities to improve tax efficiency, protect wealth and support business growth.
• Advising on a broad range of personal, corporate and strategic tax matters.
• Ensuring all recommendations are technically robust, commercially practical and aligned to clients’ wider objectives.
• Managing risk effectively and maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.
• Supporting the wider Robson Laidler Group with specialist tax expertise and strategic insight.

Becoming a Trusted Adviser

• Building deep, long-lasting relationships with clients and becoming their first choice for strategic tax advice.
• Understanding clients’ ambitions, challenges and future plans.
• Leading meaningful conversations that help clients make better decisions.
• Delivering proactive advice before clients realise they need it.
• Creating exceptional client experiences that drive loyalty, advocacy and referrals.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the Group to deliver joined-up solutions for clients.

Driving Growth and Opportunity

• Identifying opportunities to expand existing client relationships through additional advisory services.
• Contributing thought leadership, technical insight and practical content to support the firm’s marketing initiatives.
• Developing your professional profile and representing the firm within the business community.
• Building strong relationships with professional introducers, intermediaries and strategic partners.
• Helping shape and grow the firm’s tax advisory offering through innovation and continuous improvement.

Contributing to a High-Performing Team

• Acting as a role model for technical excellence, professionalism and client service.
• Sharing knowledge and supporting the development of colleagues across the business.
• Investing in your own learning and staying ahead of legislative and market developments.
• Embracing new technologies and helping clients navigate change, including developments such as Making Tax Digital.
• Contributing positively to the culture, vision and success of RL Group.

What success looks like…

Success in this role is measured by more than technical expertise.

You’ll be successful if:

• Clients view you as a trusted adviser and actively seek your guidance.
• You consistently identify opportunities that create meaningful value for clients.
• Your advice generates positive outcomes while protecting clients from unnecessary risk.
• You contribute to the growth and profitability of the tax advisory team.
• You strengthen relationships that lead to referrals, recommendations and repeat business.
• You help develop the next generation of advisers within the firm.
• You embody and champion our values in everything you do.

The job specific requirements we would expect you to demonstrate are:

• CTA qualified or qualified by experience.
• 8+ years’ tax experience.
• At least 4 years’ post-qualification experience.
• Strong technical knowledge across tax advisory disciplines.
• Commercially minded with the ability to translate technical advice into practical outcomes.
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills.
• Proven ability to identify opportunities and deliver value for clients.
• Strong organisational and project management skills.

Personal Qualities

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Curious and commercially aware.
• Analytical and solution-focused.
• Confident in challenging conventional thinking.
• Proactive rather than reactive.
• Trusted by clients and respected by colleagues.
• Adaptable in their approach and communication style.
• Motivated by helping clients achieve their goals.
• Ambitious for both their own success and the success of the wider business.

What you can expect from us

• Participation in our Four Day Working Week (after successfully completing probationary period)
• Paid time off to volunteer and help the community in a way you are passionate about
• At least 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Additional holidays will accrue from your third year of being in our team
• Your birthday off each year, if it is a normal working day, to do something special
• A genuinely supportive, down-to-earth team
• Flexibility and trust in how you work
