Tax Advisory Associate Director in Bristol

Tax Advisory Associate Director

Bristol, Gloucestershire, South Wales | Top 100 Firm | High-Profile Technical Role

If you’re the kind of tax professional who lights up when faced with complexity – who enjoys turning knotty legislation into clear, commercial advice – this is the kind of role that rarely appears outside the Big 4… but it’s based in the South West.

This is a newly created position at a fast-growing, independently owned advisory firm with a national reputation for technical excellence. The Partners here aren’t chasing shareholder targets or grinding out volume. They want someone who’ll shape the firm’s thinking, lead complex advisory work, and become a visible authority both in the office and across the wider professional community.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading the delivery of restructuring, M&A tax advice, and other complex projects

• Translating dense technical detail into practical advice clients actually understand

• Working with Partners on new business proposals and relationship growth

• Acting as a trusted adviser to entrepreneurs, investors, and management teams

Why This Role Is Different:

• Recognition – You’ll be seen as a go-to expert, not tucked away in the background

• Variety – Clients span sectors, sizes, and challenges—no day looks the same

• Influence – You’ll help shape the firm’s technical approach and mentor rising talent

• Balance – No endless travel, no London burnout—just high-quality work, locally rooted

What You’ll Need:

• Deep technical knowledge across corporate and personal tax issues

• Clear written and verbal communication—able to translate, not just interpret

• Commercial thinking with an instinct for opportunity

• Desire to lead, educate, and contribute at a strategic level

What’s On Offer:

• A platform to be seen as a true technical leader

• Support from partners who value thinking, not just billing

• Exposure to complex, high-value projects

• Competitive package up to £100,000 and flexible working from a growing South West hub
