Salary: £26,000 – £30,000+ (dependent on experience and study progress)
Location: Coventry
Are you at the start of your tax career, making strides in your professional qualifications, and looking for a role that offers far more than standard return processing?
We are seeking an ambitious Junior Tax Assistant with 1 to 2.5 years of practice experience to join our dynamic team. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone looking to build a strong foundation in personal and corporate tax while gaining exposure to complex, high-value work early in their career.
The Role
Your core focus will be managing end-to-end tax return preparation and processing. However, unlike standard roles at traditional firms, you won’t be boxed into basic compliance. Given our diverse range of tax advisory and specialized probate work, this role offers genuine long-term scope to develop into advisory services and niche practice areas at an accelerated pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Preparing personal and business tax returns for a varied client portfolio.
- Collating and reviewing client financial records, income details, and tax documentation.
- Assisting senior staff with tax advisory projects, research, and technical query resolution.
- Supporting compliance and administrative workflows across tax and probate engagements.
- Acting as a proactive point of contact for client queries.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: 1 to 2.5 years within an accountancy practice or specialized tax environment.
- Qualifications: Actively studying or starting toward ATT, ACCA, or CTA.
- Skills & Attributes: Strong numerical accuracy, excellent attention to detail, and solid clear communication skills.
- Personality: Enthuastic, proactive, and keen to learn. We highly value the right cultural fit and a strong work ethic.
What We Offer
- Salary: Up to £30,000 (flexibility to go above for candidates bringing top-end experience and exceptional fit).
- Study Support: Full encouragement and support toward your professional qualifications.
- Career Growth: Direct exposure to advisory work and specialized practice areas that standard firms rarely offer at a junior level.
- Work Environment: A supportive, collaborative team dedicated to your long-term professional development.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications for this role from candidates that do not have the right to work in the UK, or require visa sponsorship, either currently or in the future. This includes those currently on a graduate visa.
