Private Client Tax Manager - Fast Track to Associate Director

Private Client Tax Manager - Fast Track to Associate Director

City of London | Independent Accountancy Practice | £70,000-£75,000 | Progression to Associate Director within 6 months

Are you an ambitious Private Client Tax Manager looking for a genuine opportunity to progress into a senior leadership role?

An established and highly regarded independent firm of accountants, based in the City of London, is looking to appoint an experienced Private Client Tax Manager to join its growing tax team.

With an impressive portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and private clients, the firm offers an excellent platform for an ambitious tax professional looking to take the next step in their career.

Crucially, this opportunity comes with a clear and committed pathway to Associate Director within just six months, subject to performance.

The Opportunity

This is much more than a traditional Tax Manager position. Alongside managing an established portfolio of personal tax clients, you will have the opportunity to influence the strategic direction of the department and play a key role in its continued development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing a portfolio of private clients, delivering high-quality personal tax compliance and advisory services.
• Reviewing work prepared by junior members of the team, ensuring technical accuracy and excellent client service.
• Supporting, mentoring and developing junior tax professionals.
• Building strong relationships with clients and identifying opportunities to provide additional advisory services.
• Working closely with the partners to drive the growth and development of the tax department.
• Contributing to strategic planning, business development and the broader commercial objectives of the firm.

About You

We are looking for an ambitious and commercially minded tax professional who is ready to move beyond the traditional Tax Manager remit.

Ideally, you will have:

• CTA qualification, or equivalent relevant experience.
• A strong background in private client/personal tax gained within an accountancy practice.
• Proven experience managing a portfolio of clients and supervising junior staff.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to build relationships with clients and colleagues.
• A strategic mindset, with the ambition to contribute to departmental growth and business development.
• A genuine desire to progress into a senior leadership position.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Accelerated career progression: A clearly defined route to Associate Director within six months, subject to performance.
• Competitive salary: £70,000-£75,000 per annum.
• Impressive client portfolio: Exposure to a high-quality private client base.
• Strategic influence: The opportunity to help shape the future direction of the tax department.
• Independent firm environment: Work closely with the partners in a business where your contribution can make a tangible difference.
• Leadership development: Take on greater responsibility for people management, client relationships and departmental growth.

This is an excellent opportunity for an established Private Client Tax Manager who feels ready for the next stage of their career but is frustrated by the lack of progression within their current firm.

If you are looking for a genuine route to Associate Director, rather than another Tax Manager position with vague promises of future progression, we would be delighted to hear from you.
