This is a rare opportunity to work alongside the Senior Tax Manager to help build and centralise the firm’s tax function , creating a dedicated internal tax capability to support both the business management and accounts teams.
The role offers a unique blend of firmwide tax support and hands-on client portfolio responsibility , providing broad exposure across multiple taxes and complex, high-profile clients.
The Opportunity Historically, tax compliance and queries such as VAT, payroll, and reporting requirements have been handled across various teams, with responsibility shared between business managers, accounts, and external advisers.
The firm is now investing in a centralised tax function , and this role will play a key part in ensuring tax compliance is managed efficiently and consistently across the business.
You will report directly to the Senior Tax Manager and work closely with colleagues across the firm.

• Acting as a central point of contact for internal tax queries
• Supporting tax compliance across personal tax, corporation tax, partnership tax, and VAT

• Musicians and performers
• Producers and creatives

These clients often have complex financial affairs, making this a varied and engaging role.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to help build and shape a new tax function
• Exposure to high-profile music and entertainment clients

• Close working relationship with senior leadership
• Genuine progression opportunities as the tax team grows
• Collaborative and supportive environment

Salary and Benefits

• £45,000 – £60,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working
• Competitive benefits package
• Excellent long-term career progression

The Bigger Picture This role offers the chance to step into something more than a traditional Tax Senior position. You’ll be part of building a function, supporting a creative client base, and developing your career within a growing and dynamic environment.
