Roles

Our client has built a reputation as a leading adviser to HNW/UHNW individuals. Their Private Client Tax offering includes a specialist US/UK team that provides personal tax advice to wealthy private clients (FS executives, business owners, entrepreneurs and their families). 

Demand for their expertise continues to grow and they are keen to recruit an EA/ATT dual-qualified Manager, to provide personal tax advisory and compliance services as a strategic member of the team.

You’ll take responsibility for a HNW client portfolio as their primary point of contact. You’ll also work closely with some of the profession’s leading US/UK Partners, who will support you with your own progression towards Senior Manager and Director grades.

The role requires a strong technical grasp of US and UK personal taxation, gained in a leading UK tax team. It would suit either an existing Manager seeking a new challenge, or a talented Assistant Manager ready to step up to Manager grade.

You’ll have gained the EA and ATT qualifications, but the role also requires excellent client relationship management skills and a commercial approach to WIP, recoverability and identifying new business opportunities.

The firm has adopted hybrid working, with many of the team coming into the office 2-3 days a week. However, there is scope to work more remotely if one wishes.

Salary will be dependent on experience and grade but their Manager band runs to £75k + Bens. 

This is a super opportunity to manage a portfolio of HNW US-connected private clients, as their key trusted adviser.
