£55,000 - £70,000 + benefits
Location: Leeds
Role: Private Client Tax Manager

What if your next role was about the client - not just the tax return?

We're looking for a Private Client Tax Manager to join an ambitious Leeds practice where relationships, advisory work and commercial thinking sit at the heart of the role.
You'll work with entrepreneurs, business owners, HNW individuals and families, helping them navigate everything from day-to-day tax matters through to major life and business decisions.
This is a role for someone who enjoys getting to know their clients and becoming a trusted adviser.

What will you be working on?

Expect a varied mix of compliance and genuinely interesting advisory work, including:

• Managing a portfolio of HNW private clients.
• Advising entrepreneurs and business owners.
• Income Tax, CGT and IHT planning.
• Trust and estate matters.
• Succession and family wealth planning.
• Tax considerations around business sales and disposals.
• Shareholder and remuneration planning.
• Advising on changes to ownership and wealth structures.
• Identifying tax planning opportunities.
• Working alongside corporate tax and wider advisory teams.
• Building and developing long-term client relationships.
• Mentoring and developing junior team members.
• Supporting business development and networking.

The people you'll work with

This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit a list of tax returns.
You'll work with successful people with complex financial affairs, often alongside their wider professional advisers.
You'll get involved in understanding their businesses, families, wealth and future plans - and help shape the tax strategy around them.

Why Leeds?

This is a chance to join a growing team where you can have visibility, influence and ownership.
You'll be able to:

• Build your own client relationships.
