Working with a diverse portfolio of entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals, we build long-term relationships by providing trusted advice tailored to each client's circumstances and goals. Our values underpin everything we do: Customer First, Passion, Integrity, Excellence.

As our advisory offering continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Private Client Tax Advisory Manager to join the team.

Role overview

This is a genuine tax advisory role focused on delivering high-quality planning advice rather than compliance work. You will work closely with a varied client base, advising on complex tax matters and identifying proactive planning opportunities that add real value. The successful candidate will be confident managing advisory assignments independently and bringing established expertise from day one. We are open to both full-time applicants and experienced advisers seeking a reduced working pattern of two to four days per week.

Duties

• Providing tailored tax planning advice to private clients and owner-managed businesses.
• Advising on Inheritance Tax planning, including estate and lifetime planning strategies.
• Supporting clients with trusts and succession planning matters.
• Delivering property tax advice relating to acquisitions, disposals and ownership structures.
• Identifying tax efficiencies and proactive planning opportunities.
• Managing complex advisory assignments independently from instruction through to delivery.

• Contributing to the continued growth and development of the firm's advisory services.

Ideal candidate

• A minimum of five years' recent experience delivering tax planning and advisory work.
• Strong technical knowledge of: Private client tax, Inheritance Tax (IHT), Trusts and Property tax.
• The ability to manage complex advisory work with minimal supervision.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to identify planning opportunities that benefit clients.
• A proactive and solutions-focused approach.

Please note: This role is not suitable for candidates whose experience has been predominantly tax compliance, tax return preparation or team management without hands-on tax planning exposure.

• Flexible part-time working available (2 to 4 days per week).
• Opportunity to shape and influence a growing advisory function.
• Exposure to interesting and varied advisory work.
