  • Experience across both compliance and advisory work
  • Commercially minded with an interest in business development
  • Able to explain complex tax matters clearly to clients
  • Ambitious to ultimately lead and grow a Tax department
  • Experience across every technical area isn't required
ProgressionThis position has a clearly defined route:
Tax Senior Manager → Head of Tax → Salaried Partner → Equity Partner
The intention is for the successful candidate to progress to Head of Tax within approximately 2–3 years , subject to the growth of the department, with a route to Equity Partner within approximately 3–4 years .
Package & Benefits
  • £70,000 - £90,000 basic salary
  • 15% commission on first-year fees from newly generated Tax work
  • 7.5% commission on first-year fees from new work generated from existing clients
  • Annual salary reviews
  • Discretionary firm-wide profit share
  • Hybrid working – minimum 3 days in the office / with clients
  • 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
  • Private medical insurance
  • Pension
  • Professional subscriptions covered
  • Training and CPD costs covered
  • Genuine route to Equity Partnership
Interested?This is a particularly strong opportunity for a technically capable and commercially ambitious CTA who wants to build something of their own rather than simply inherit another portfolio .
