Your new company Join a nationally respected firm in audit, tax, advisory and consulting, where people feel supported, included and genuinely enjoy their work. As the Tax team grows, they're looking for a Senior Manager to help shape the future. It's a place where careers flourish, contributions matter, and making a positive difference-for clients, communities and colleagues-is part of everyday life. Your new role This is a key role within the Private Client team, where you'll provide expert technical guidance and exceptional client service. You'll manage a key portfolio and play a vital part in driving business growth. The role includes leading within the management group and supporting colleagues across the team. You'll need to engage confidently with high-net-worth clients and their advisors, translating complex tax matters into clear guidance. Mentorship will be a core element too, offering support and training to junior team members. You'll be responsible for reviewing tax returns and computations within agreed deadlines, ensuring the delivery of compliance is both efficient and well-controlled. You'll support senior colleagues with tax planning and contribute to ad hoc projects as needed. Building and maintaining strong client relationships will be a key part of your role, alongside managing expectations with care and clarity. Your technical expertise should cover a broad range of areas relevant to private clients-particularly international tax matters, property, income tax, CGT, IHT, trusts and estates. You'll be well-versed in UK resident and non-dom tax matters, including offshore trusts and structures, and stay informed on both domestic and global tax legislation. You'll produce tailored, high-quality written reports suited to a variety of audiences-from clients with limited financial knowledge to experienced offshore trustees. In some cases, you'll prepare court-appropriate documentation for expert witness work in financial remedy proceedings. Managing work in progress will be essential, including meeting recoverability targets and ensuring fee quotes remain realistic and transparent. You'll maintain regular contact with clients, respond promptly, and anticipate their needs while keeping them informed throughout the process. Professional risk must be carefully managed through thorough documentation, collaboration with senior colleagues, and adherence to proper review procedures. You'll also take on other responsibilities as required to meet evolving business needs. What you'll need to succeed This role suits a tax manager aiming for senior level, or a senior manager seeking something new. You'll be proactive, professional, and able to meet client needs with minimal supervision. Experience managing high net worth clients is key. CTA is essential; STEP or ADIT is a plus. Strong relationship-building skills and commercial awareness are important. You should be organised, well-informed on tax, and supportive of your team's growth. Skills, Knowledge & Experience You should have broad tax experience and work well with minimal Partner oversight. You'll meet deadlines, handle billing, and manage expectations. Partners rely on you, and your team looks to you for direction. Technically, you'll understand private client tax, especially cross-border issues. You're recognised for your expertise and comfortable with HMRC. You handle high-pressure advice with confidence. You understand client risk appetite and tailor communication accordingly. You help clients stay up to date and offer strategic, personalised solutions. You build knowledge across the firm and connect with quality intermediaries. You lead by example, earning trust from your team. Your judgement is respected, and your input valued. You tackle tough situations with composure and clarity. What you'll get in return You'll be part of a collaborative, inclusive and welcoming culture that's committed to supporting your growth and development. With access to specialist knowledge, valuable resources and ongoing learning opportunities, your career here can be both satisfying and rewarding.

Financial Accountant, International Group, Coventry, Hybrid £45,000 - £50,000 Bonus First time movers from practice and industry candidates welcome to apply! I am supporting a high growth, private equity backed international group in the appointment of a Financial Accountant into its group finance function. This is a business that has scaled rapidly over the last two years, both in the UK and internationally, creating the kind of complexity and technical exposure that makes this an outstanding opportunity for both first time movers from practice and candidates already established in industry finance. The role sits within a small, highly capable group financial reporting team that acts as the technical hub for the wider finance function. You will report into an experienced Group Finance Manager, with regular exposure to senior leadership and the CFO, and operate in a flat, collaborative environment where ideas are welcomed and challenged constructively. Why this role works for first time movers from practice The business offers a rare first move into industry where technical skills are genuinely valued. The scope of the role mirrors many of the challenges faced in practice, including complex consolidations, multi jurisdiction reporting, VAT and intercompany, but with the added benefit of ownership, commercial context and the chance to see the full end to end process. There is strong support, a sensible handover, and a leadership team that has a proven track record of developing and promoting people who perform. Why this role works for candidates already in industry For those already in an industry environment, this role offers increased technical depth, international exposure and a clear step towards senior group reporting positions. The team has grown through internal promotion, and there is a visible pathway into more senior roles for those who demonstrate capability and drive.

Travel to the London head office is required approximately once per quarter, alongside attendance at company events to build commercial understanding of how the numbers are generated. What they are looking for A qualified accountant, or a strong part qualified accountant with relevant experience Candidates moving from practice or already in industry are equally encouraged Exposure to consolidations, intercompany and VAT reporting Experience within a multi entity environment, ideally with international elements A proactive, can do attitude and strong team ethic What s on offer Salary of £50,000 plus annual bonus, historically paid at 100% 25 days holiday plus pension Hybrid working International exposure within a growing group Clear and proven progression, evidenced by recent internal promotions Optional performance related equity participation This hire is part of long term succession planning following an internal promotion, and interviews are already underway.

Audit Manager - Leatherhead - up to £70,000 - Must Love Spreadsheets and a Good Challenge!Tired of the same old audits, cookie-cutter clients, and endless ticking and tying in corporate beige offices?Looking for a role that gives you variety, autonomy, and just the right amount of chaos (the good kind)? You're in the right place.On the lookout for an Audit Manager Extraordinaire, someone who knows their GAAP's from their IFRS's, speaks fluent Excel and genuinely enjoys untangling the financial spaghetti that clients never thought needed untangling.This is not your average "sign here, tick box, move on" audit gig.You shall be working on clients that range from innovative tech firms and luxury retailers to high-speed motorsport companies and eccentric art collectors.About our clientThey are a mid-tier accountancy and tax firm with a pedigree that stretches back almost a hundred years.
