  • Overseeing international reporting requirements (e.g. AEOI frameworks)
  • Providing technical input to support legal/advisory colleagues on complex client matters
  • Delivering bespoke tax and accounting support on ad hoc projects


Candidate Profile

  • Professionally qualified (e.g. ACA, CTA, STEP or equivalent)
  • Extensive experience in personal tax compliance
  • Strong technical knowledge of UK tax, with exposure to trusts and fiduciary structures
  • Experience advising high-net-worth and/or internationally mobile clients

  • Collaborative, hands-on leadership style


Opportunity
