Description
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced compliance-focused tax professional to join a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Stamford as Private Client Tax Manager, taking ownership of a well-established compliance function within a firm that values technical accuracy, efficient delivery, and the development of its people, with flexible working, a company pension, and much more on offer.
Crowe Watson Recruitment is a specialist accountancy recruiter with a genuine understanding of the private client tax market, and the team brings particular insight into compliance-focused roles, recognising the distinct skill set and career motivations that set these professionals apart from those working primarily in advisory. That understanding allows Crowe Watson to make introductions that are genuinely well-matched, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach to private client tax recruitment. Candidates consistently value the precision and care the team brings to every search.
Stamford is a charming and historic market town with a strong and loyal client base, and this firm has built an excellent local reputation for the quality and reliability of its private client tax compliance service. As Private Client Tax Manager, you will take full ownership of the compliance process for a varied portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and estates, ensuring the accurate and timely delivery of self-assessment returns whilst managing the workflow and quality control of the wider compliance function. This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in technical accuracy and process efficiency, within a firm that offers a stable, well-organised, and supportive working environment alongside a clear pathway for those looking to broaden into advisory work over time. You might not meet all the criteria, but if you are passionate about developing yourself and your career, we’d love to hear from you.
Crowe Watson is acting as an Employment Agency. References to pay rates are indicative and salary is dependent on experience.
