Job description

A highly regarded and growing accountancy practice is looking to recruit an experienced Personal Tax Senior or Assistant Manager to join its thriving tax team.With offices across the UK, this firm combines the resources, technical expertise and career opportunities of a national organisation with the welcoming, supportive culture typically associated with a smaller independent practice. You'll be joining a close-knit team where people are approachable, collaboration is encouraged, and your contribution is genuinely valued.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced tax professional looking to further develop their expertise while working with a diverse and interesting client portfolio.

The Role

Working closely with Managers, Directors and Partners, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of personal tax clients whilst supporting a range of compliance and advisory projects.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing a portfolio of personal tax clients, ensuring all deadlines are met.
  • Preparing personal tax computations and returns for review.
  • Reviewing tax work prepared by colleagues outside of the tax team.
  • Handling complex HMRC correspondence and enquiries.
  • Providing technical guidance to colleagues and clients.
  • Assisting with tax planning and advisory assignments.
  • Identifying planning opportunities for clients.
  • Advising on Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax matters.
  • Supporting and mentoring junior members of the tax team.
  • Conducting technical research and contributing to specialist projects.

About You

You will be an experienced tax professional who enjoys building relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

The successful candidate will ideally have:

  • ATT qualification.
  • Around 5-6 years' post-qualified personal tax experience.
  • Strong technical knowledge across personal taxation.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities.
  • Good commercial awareness and client-facing skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail and analytical ability.
  • Experience using CCH Personal Tax software (desirable).

Why Apply?

This firm has built a reputation for combining technical excellence with a genuinely people-focused culture. While the business continues to grow nationally, it has worked hard to retain the friendly, supportive environment of a smaller practice.

You can expect:

  • A collaborative and welcoming team environment.
  • Exposure to a varied and high-quality client base.
  • Direct access to experienced Directors and Partners.
  • Excellent opportunities for career progression and development.
  • Full support towards further professional qualifications, including tuition, study materials, exam fees and paid study leave.
  • Increasing annual leave entitlement linked to service.
  • Pension scheme.
  • Life assurance.
  • Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Retail and lifestyle discount scheme.

If you're looking for a role where you can continue developing your tax career without losing the personal, friendly culture that makes work enjoyable, please contact Cara Whyte at Hays or apply online.
