Job description

An opportunity for a talented personal tax adviser to join the partnership of a high-profile London accountancy firm.

Their Private Client team handles high-end UK and international personal tax work and is independently recognised for its expertise in the field. The team is undertaking a succession-planning exercise and is keen to appoint a direct-entry partner with excellent international private client tax planning skills.

Very much a client-facing advisory role, the incoming individual will undertake ad hoc income and capital taxes planning work for an impressive client list of HNW entrepreneurs, business owners and wealthy families. They will also assist fellow Personal Tax partners with the management, leadership and direction of the Private Client Tax team. The role will also include raising the profile of the service line, through networking and business development initiatives.

The incoming individual therefore needs to be a commercial team leader, as well as a strong personal tax technical adviser. A portfolio of clients awaits, but strong business development experience is important.

The role would suit an existing Partner, looking to progress their career within a firm where Private Client Tax is a prominent service line. Alternatively, an experienced Personal Tax Director who is ready to step up to partnership. Either way, the individual will be CTA qualified with extensive personal tax advisory experience.

Salary dependent on experience: £Six figures + route to equity
