Job description

Our client is growing its Private Client tax team and is looking for a Tax Senior who wants to do more than process returns. You will work directly with high net worth individuals and families, getting to know their circumstances properly and helping them make sound decisions about their tax affairs.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the technical side but also likes the client relationship. You will be trusted with complex work from day one, in a team that invests in its people and backs them to progress.

Key responsibilities

Preparing and reviewing complex personal tax returns for a portfolio of private clients, making sure everything is accurate and compliant. Advising clients on tax planning opportunities that fit their wider financial goals. Keeping on top of legislative changes affecting private clients and flagging what they mean before clients have to ask. Building strong, trusted relationships with clients and their other advisors, including wealth managers and solicitors. Working closely with colleagues across the team to deliver a joined up service, and spotting ways to make processes work better.

About you

You will have solid experience in private client tax compliance and advisory, with a good working knowledge of the rules that affect high net worth individuals. You are detail focused and analytical, but you can also explain a complicated tax position in plain English. You are committed to your own development, whether that means working towards the CTA or building on it. Experience with international clients or working alongside wealth management and legal advisors would be a real advantage.

Genuine client contact and advisory work, not just compliance. A supportive team where your development is taken seriously. Exposure to complex, varied private client work. A clear path to progress to Manager and beyond.
