We are looking for a Tax Partner to join our new Cheltenham office as we commence the next phase of our ambitious growth plans.

We’ve just been ranked fifth in the Accountancy Age Mid-Tier Power Rankings – and we’re the highest ranked firm in the South West. This comes on the back of nearly 20% growth last year, several award wins, and record-breaking recruitment taking our headcount to nearly 40 partners and 500 people.

But we’re not stopping there. We’ve got ambitious plans to double the size of our business over the next few years. Core to this growth is the recent integration of another business to form a new Cheltenham office – strengthening our footprint in the South West, and we’re now looking to expand further in the Three Counties region.

We are keen to hear from talented accountants with a proven track record in Corporate Tax. The role offers an opportunity to work with a variety of clients, including entrepreneurial private businesses, venture capital-backed companies, and corporate groups across sectors such as technology and fast-growth companies, including household names.

As a key member of our Cheltenham leadership team, you will play a significant role in developing our client base across Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and the wider South-West region.

You should be a strategic thinker capable of leading and developing teams and providing trusted advisory services to a diverse range of clients.

This is a great opportunity for someone eager to take a leading role in the growth of our practice, working with a supportive partner group committed to business development and growth.

You will be part of a rapidly expanding Top 100 firm that values its people and offers a fantastic working environment.

Your role will encompass client service delivery, people management, and business development responsibilities.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

1. Managing and growing our Tax client base, including developing existing relationships and acquiring new clients.
2. Playing a pivotal role in Business Development activities and building/maintaining a network of local and/or specialist contacts to support our growth.
3. Contributing to People Management within our Tax teams, including recruiting, coaching, and succession planning.

About you

To be considered, you should be/have:

1. Appropriately qualified with experience in Tax.
2. A strong business developer eager to build contacts within the local business community.
3. Strong technical skills and experience.
4. An excellent communicator with interpersonal skills who can influence at all levels.
5. A strong People Manager who enjoys building and developing teams.
6. Keen to contribute to the overall success of Bishop Fleming.
