Tax Senior / Assistant Manager - Music & Entertainment

Up to £62,000 + Benefits | Central London | Hybrid Working

Fancy working with artists, musicians, DJs, actors and some of the most exciting businesses in the creative industries?

I'm working with a growing specialist advisory firm in Central London that's looking to recruit a Tax Senior or Assistant Manager to join its expanding tax team.

This is a genuinely different opportunity for someone with a background in UK Personal and Corporate Tax who would like to work with a more interesting and varied client base than the traditional accountancy practice environment.

The firm provides tax, accounting and business management services to clients across music, entertainment and the wider creative industries. Its client base includes recording artists, bands, DJs, actors, record labels, artist managers and entertainment businesses.

With more than 400 clients and an international presence across the UK and US, the business continues to grow and offers an opportunity to develop your career within a specialist environment.

Whether you're an established Tax Senior looking for your next step or an Assistant Manager ready for a fresh challenge, this is an opportunity to broaden your technical experience and work with a genuinely different client base.

The Firm & Client Base

This is a specialist advisory business working at the intersection of tax, accounting and the creative industries.

You'll be supporting a diverse range of clients, including:

• Music: Recording artists, bands, touring musicians and DJs.

• Entertainment: Actors, performers and other creative professionals.

• Music businesses: Record labels, music publishers and artist management companies.

• Creative businesses: Agencies and businesses operating across the wider entertainment sector.

The business also has specialist teams covering business management, accounts and royalties, giving you the opportunity to work alongside colleagues with complementary expertise.

It's a collaborative, sociable environment with an interesting client base, an international outlook and plenty of opportunity to build relationships across the industry.

The Opportunity

Working closely with the Tax Director and wider team, you'll be involved in a broad mix of Personal and Corporate Tax compliance, advisory work and client relationship management.

The role offers plenty of variety, with responsibilities tailored to your experience.

These will include:

• Managing a portfolio of Personal and Corporate Tax clients.

• Preparing and reviewing tax returns and computations.

• Reviewing work completed by more junior team members, where appropriate.

• Supporting tax planning and advisory projects, including technical research and report preparation.

• Building strong client relationships and providing practical, commercially focused advice.

• Identifying tax planning opportunities and helping deliver appropriate advisory solutions.

• Managing compliance deadlines and ensuring work is completed accurately and efficiently.

• Supporting and mentoring junior colleagues.

• Working closely with the Tax Director and collaborating with the wider business management, accounts and royalties teams.

You'll have the opportunity to develop your technical expertise across both Personal and Corporate Tax while gaining exposure to the specialist considerations that come with working in the music and entertainment industries.

About You

We're keen to speak with Tax Seniors and Assistant Managers who have a good grounding in UK tax and are looking for an opportunity to broaden their experience.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience across UK Personal and Corporate Tax within an accountancy practice.

• ATT and/or CTA qualifications, or be working towards them.

• A strong understanding of tax compliance, with some exposure to advisory or tax planning work.

• Experience managing client relationships and dealing directly with clients.

• Experience reviewing work or supporting junior colleagues, appropriate to your level.

• Strong communication and organisational skills.

• A proactive, collaborative approach and an interest in developing your career.

You don't need previous Music & Entertainment experience.

What's important is a solid technical foundation, an interest in the client base and the enthusiasm to develop within a specialist advisory environment.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Work with recording artists, musicians, DJs, actors, record labels and businesses across the creative industries. It's a chance to develop relationships with a genuinely different type of client.

Room to Develop

With the business continuing to grow, there's scope to take on more responsibility, strengthen your technical expertise and progress your career.

Salary & Benefits

• Salary up to £62,000, depending on experience.

• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office and 2 from home following probation.

Interested?

If you're a Tax Senior or Assistant Manager looking for a more interesting client base, a broader mix of Personal and Corporate Tax and the opportunity to develop within the Music & Entertainment sector, I'd love to tell you more.

You don't need to be actively looking. If the idea of working with a different client base and joining a growing specialist business appeals, I'm always happy to have an informal, confidential conversation.
