Job description

Your New Company

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to join an ambitious and growing professional services firm as a Tax Partner in Aberdeen. This is a senior appointment with the opportunity to play an important role in developing the firm's tax presence across Aberdeen and the wider North East market. The firm is keen to talk to established Partners as well as ambitious Directors who are ready to make the step into Partnership and want the opportunity to genuinely influence the direction and growth of a tax business.

Your new role

As Tax Partner, you'll take a leading role in growing and developing the tax offering in Aberdeen, combining high-level client advisory work with relationship development, market engagement and leadership.

The firm is deliberately open-minded about tax specialism. Personal Tax and Corporate Tax experience would be particularly attractive, but applications are welcomed from senior tax professionals across a range of disciplines who can bring strong technical expertise, commercial credibility and relationships within the market.

You’ll work closely with business owners, entrepreneurial and privately owned businesses and senior stakeholders, providing strategic tax advice while identifying opportunities to broaden relationships and introduce clients to the wider capabilities of the firm.

This is also an opportunity to build something. You'll have the scope to develop your own market, strengthen existing relationships and help shape the future tax proposition in Aberdeen rather than stepping into a narrowly defined Partner remit.

What You’ll Need To Succeed

You’ll be an experienced tax professional operating at Partner or Director level, or an established senior leader with a credible route to Partnership.

While Corporate Tax or Personal Tax would be the preferred background, the firm is interested in the individual first and will consider strong candidates from other tax disciplines.

You’ll bring a strong technical foundation alongside the commercial skills expected at this level. You should be comfortable developing senior client relationships, identifying opportunities, winning work and representing the firm externally.

Just as importantly, you’ll need the ambition and entrepreneurial mindset to help grow a tax business and establish long-term relationships across the Aberdeen and North East market.

What You’ll Get In Return

This is a rare opportunity to take on a genuine Partner-level position with the freedom to influence how the role and tax offering develop.

You’ll be joining an ambitious firm where growth, collaboration and doing things differently are encouraged. Rather than inheriting a tightly prescribed portfolio, there is the opportunity to bring your own strengths, relationships and ideas and make a real impact on the business.

For an experienced Director considering their route to Partnership, this also presents an opportunity to have a confidential conversation about what that progression could look like.
