Description
This is a solid and well-rounded opportunity for an experienced Private Client Tax Senior to join a leading firm of Chartered Accountants in London, where the client base is established, the work is technically varied, and the culture is one that genuinely supports the people within it. The firm offers flexible working, a company pension, and much more, and is looking for someone who takes real pride in the quality of their work and the relationships they build with clients.
Crowe Watson Recruitment is a specialist accountancy recruiter that has earned its reputation the right way, through years of honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely candidate-focused work across the UK practice market. The team understands the private client tax space inside out, and brings that understanding to every search they undertake, whether that means identifying the right cultural fit, the right technical match, or simply taking the time to have a proper conversation about what a candidate actually wants from their next role. It is that attention to detail that keeps both candidates and clients coming back.
The firm’s private client offering is well established and highly regarded, with a diverse portfolio spanning high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, and entrepreneurs across a broad range of backgrounds and financial complexity. As Private Client Tax Senior, you will manage your own portfolio with a good degree of autonomy, delivering compliance and advisory work across income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax to a consistently high standard. The team is experienced, collaborative, and genuinely supportive, and for someone with the right background and ambition, there is a clear and realistic route to assistant manager level in a practice that rewards hard work and initiative. 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.
