The Opportunity

GMP Recruitment are delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded, independent accountancy and advisory practice in Gloucestershire to recruit an ambitious Mixed Tax Senior / Associate Manager.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established and growing tax team, working with an interesting portfolio of owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and private clients.

Our client has built an enviable reputation for providing commercially focused, relationship-led advice and offers a collaborative environment where individuals are encouraged to develop their technical expertise, take ownership of client relationships and progress their careers.

The position offers a varied combination of tax compliance and advisory work, making it particularly attractive to someone looking to broaden their exposure beyond traditional compliance.

The Role

Reporting to senior members of the tax team, you will manage a varied portfolio of clients, providing high-quality tax compliance and advisory services.

• Managing a portfolio of owner-managed businesses, company directors and private clients.
• Preparing and reviewing Corporation Tax and Personal Tax computations and returns.
• Providing commercially focused advice on a range of tax matters.
• Supporting advisory projects involving business acquisitions, disposals, succession planning and restructuring.
• Assisting with tax-efficient remuneration, dividend planning and shareholder matters.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships, acting as a trusted point of contact.
• Identifying opportunities to deliver additional value through proactive tax planning.
• Supporting and mentoring junior colleagues, reviewing work and encouraging technical development.
• Working closely with colleagues across accounts, audit and wider advisory teams.

About You

We are keen to speak with tax professionals who enjoy combining technical expertise with genuine client engagement.

Ideally, you will demonstrate:

• Experience within a UK accountancy practice, working across Personal Tax, Corporation Tax or Mixed Tax.
• ATT, CTA, ACA or ACCA qualifications, or be working towards a relevant professional qualification.
• A sound understanding of UK tax legislation and compliance requirements.
• Exposure to owner-managed businesses and their shareholders.
• An interest in developing broader tax advisory experience.
• Strong communication skills and confidence in managing client relationships.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach.

Previous experience of specialist sectors or complex advisory assignments would be advantageous, although not essential.

Candidates currently operating at Tax Senior level who are ready to take the next step towards management are particularly encouraged to apply.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary of £42,000 – £55,000, dependent on qualifications and experience.
• Hybrid working arrangements and flexibility.
• A varied portfolio of established and growing businesses.
• Exposure to interesting and technically challenging tax advisory projects.
• Support towards professional qualifications and continued development.
• Genuine opportunities for progression into management and senior leadership.
• A supportive, collaborative team culture.
• The opportunity to build long-term client relationships within a respected regional practice.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional tax compliance position.

Our client is seeking someone who wants to become a trusted adviser to business owners, helping them navigate important commercial decisions while developing their own technical and professional capabilities.

Whether you are an established Mixed Tax Senior looking for greater advisory exposure or an Associate Manager seeking a fresh challenge, this opportunity offers the platform, support and client variety to take your career forward.
