Glasgow | Hybrid Working | Up to £100,000 + Benefits
Lusona is working with a highly regarded specialist tax practice in Glasgow to recruit a Tax Director as part of the continued development of its senior team. This is an excellent opportunity for either an established Tax Director looking for greater autonomy and influence, or an ambitious Senior Manager who is ready to make the step up to Director.
Our client has developed an excellent reputation within the Scottish marketplace for providing high-quality tax advice to owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and their owners. Much of its work is generated through longstanding client relationships, repeat business and referrals from the wider professional community. The successful individual will take a senior role within the practice, with Corporate Tax as their primary specialism, spanning both compliance and advisory work.
The role
Working closely with the Partners, you will:
- Take senior responsibility for a portfolio of owner-managed and privately owned business clients.
- Oversee the delivery and review of corporate tax compliance, ensuring consistently high standards of technical quality and client service.
- Lead and contribute to a broad range of corporate tax advisory projects, responding to the commercial and strategic issues facing entrepreneurial businesses and their owners.
- Act as a trusted adviser to business owners, shareholders and senior management teams.
- Manage more complex technical matters and provide guidance to colleagues where required.
- Identify opportunities to provide additional advice across existing client relationships.
- Work alongside the Partners on key client matters and the continued development of the practice.
- Build and maintain relationships with professional contacts and referral partners.
- Lead, coach and develop members of the tax team.
- Ensure appropriate standards of quality, risk management and delivery are maintained across your portfolio.
About you
You are likely to be operating at Senior Manager or Director level within an accountancy firm, tax consultancy or specialist tax practice.
You will bring:
- Strong UK Corporate Tax expertise across both compliance and advisory work.
- Significant experience advising owner-managed and privately owned businesses.
- The technical credibility to lead complex client assignments.
- Strong commercial awareness and the ability to understand the wider objectives behind a client's tax requirements.
- The confidence to advise business owners and senior stakeholders directly.
- Experience managing significant client relationships.
- Strong leadership skills with experience coaching, mentoring and developing colleagues.
- A relevant professional qualification such as CTA, CA, ACCA and/or ATT.
Experience of Private Client Tax would be advantageous, particularly where this involves advising business owners and shareholders alongside their corporate interests, but it is not essential.
