Job Description

Shape Your Future in Private Client Tax


Are you ready to take the next step in your tax career? Our client is looking for a proactive and experienced Private Client Assistant Tax Manager or Supervisor to join their collaborative team in Southampton. This is a fantastic opportunity to manage a diverse portfolio, deliver exceptional client service, and be part of a firm that truly values development, quality, and long-term relationships.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead on tax compliance for individuals, trusts, and partnerships
  • Review and prepare tax returns with precision and attention to detail
  • Build strong client relationships, liaising confidently with clients and HMRC
  • Spot tax planning opportunities and support advisory projects
  • Mentor and develop junior team members, helping them grow

What You'll Bring

  • ATT/CTA qualified (or working towards)
  • Previous supervisory experience within a tax team
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A collaborative mindset and a passion for continuous learning

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just another tax job-it's a chance to join a firm that puts people first. You'll be part of a team that values relationships, encourages growth, and fosters a genuinely supportive culture.

You'll enjoy:

  • Flexible working hours and hybrid options
  • Generous holiday allowance + option to buy more
  • Comprehensive training and funded study support
  • Regular team socials and wellbeing initiatives
  • Cycle to Work Scheme, EAP, and more
  • Office perks like fresh fruit, snacks, and even creative extras (think online art classes!)
