Personal Tax Senior Manager / Associate Director - Tunbridge Wells

Our client offers high quality, new-money entrepreneurial Private Client Tax work without the commute into London.

You’ll join an established and high-profile team, advising regional, London and international wealth. The client base includes PE executives, HNW business owners, serial entrepreneurs and wealthy families. The team undertakes  income and capital taxes planning, shareholder planning, exit strategies for business owners, property-related advice, residence/domicile issues and succession planning.

The team is busy, growing and keen to appoint an additional CTA at Senior Manager or Associate Director level. You will take responsibility for a portfolio of HNW/UHNW individuals and their families, as their key trusted adviser. This will predominantly involve identifying and advising on ad hoc personal tax planning projects. You’ll have the opportunity to work with experienced partners and to build a name for yourself in the region. There is also scope to work with partners and directors on networking and business development initiatives. 

The role would suit an experienced London Manager or Senior Manager looking to pursue their Private Client Tax career outside the Capital. Alternatively, a CTA from a strong regional practice locally. Either way, support will be provided with progression towards AD and Director grades. Some PE-related personal tax experience would be helpful, but is not essential. Strong previous experience of income and capital taxes planning for HNWIs is important.

Salary will be dependent on experience, but is likely to be in the region £75k-£90k + bens.

The firm encourages a healthy work/life balance culture, including hybrid working. So if you’re looking to take your career forward whilst also enjoying life in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding Kent countryside, drop me an email for further details – michaelhowells@howellsconsulting.co.uk  Ref 5141

Tax Investigations Assistant Manager - London £53k-£63k

A fantastic opportunity to join a high-quality Tax Dispute Resolution team. 

Our client is a high-profile, award-winning London accountancy firm that has built a strong reputation in the Personal Tax field. 

Their Tax Investigations offering is core to the Private Client department's success and is widely respected across the profession. Demand for their expertise continues to grow and the team is now keen to appoint an additional adviser at Assistant Manager level. 

Working closely with leading tax investigations specialists, you will support a range of clients with their representations to HMRC. This will include managing a varied portfolio of tax investigation, tax dispute and tax disclosure cases including agreeing strategies and fee structures. You will draft reports and disclosures to HMRC and robustly defend your clients’ positions.

All of this will require some previous experience of tax investigation work, including HMRC enquiries, making disclosures and penalty mitigation. This could have been gained in a pure tax dispute resolution role, but the position would also suit a personal tax adviser with enquiries/investigations experience looking to specialise in tax investigations work.

You will also have a strong technical grasp of UK personal taxation and be ATT, CTA or HMRC qualified. Previous experience of COP8/9 is desirable although partners/directors will provide assistance in that area.
