Trust & Tax Manager - Leading London Firm £63k-£73k

An opportunity to join the award-winning Private Client team of a high-profile accountancy firm.

Our client is recognised as one of London’s premier providers of private client tax and trusts advice to domestic and international UHNWIs. Their Trusts team is growing and is keen to appoint an additional Tax & Trusts adviser at Manager level.

The role will involve taking responsibility for a portfolio of offshore and onshore trusts, acting as their primary point of contact. You will work closely with Directors and Partners on ad hoc trust structuring, IHT planning, estate/succession advice, establishment and winding up of trusts. 

In addition, you will oversee the preparation and review of trust accounts and trust returns by junior staff.

The successful candidate is likely to be STEP qualified (potentially also CTA) and will certainly have demonstrable experience of advising on trust taxation, IHT and estate planning. They will be looking for a modern, supportive environment in which to develop their career towards Senior Manager and Director grades.

The firm is embracing hybrid working and scope exists to work from home 2-3 days a week, if one wishes. Ref 663

IHT & Estate Planning Director - London £Six Figures

We are working on a new opportunity based in the award-winning Private Client Tax team of a high-profile accountancy practice.

Working alongside some of the profession’s leading personal tax and trusts advisers, you’ll advise UK and international UHNW individuals and families on inheritance tax, succession planning and the use of on and offshore trust structures. As a key member of the broader Private Wealth team, the role requires:

• Experience of leading IHT and estate planning projects relating to multi-generational families
• The ability to act as one of the Private Client team’s ‘go to’ advisers on IHT-related matters
• Experience of managing HNW clients from introduction and engagement, to nurturing ongoing relationships and identifying new planning opportunities
• Experience of building third-party networks and developing new clients
  
  

This is very much a client and third-party facing role as a key point of contact and therefore requires excellent relationship management skills. The role also involves supervising, mentoring and developing junior staff.

It is likely that the successful candidate will be CTA/ACA qualified (possibly also STEP) and will certainly possess a strong technical understanding of inheritance tax and estate planning.
