Tax Manager

Tax Manager/ Senior Tax ManagerGeneralist + HNW & Trusts | Complex Advisory There comes a point where progression isn’t about another title, it’s about influence.If you’re capable of more ownership, more say, and more impact, but the structure above you feels static or overcrowded, this could be the step that changes things. This is a long-established firm that has deliberately chosen independence and long-term thinking over scale for scale’s sake. No PE. No roll-ups. No disappearing into a 300-person headcount. Just a high-calibre team doing genuinely interesting work and doing it well. The roleYou’ll take ownership of a varied and technically strong tax portfolio, covering closely held businesses, partnerships, individuals, and Trusts & Estates. The work is broad, but not basic.This is not a compliance-heavy. You’ll be involved in planning, advisory, and long-term client strategy, trusted to run relationships properly, not just process returns. Clients are complex, established, and advisory-led. This is very much consultative accounting, not “mom and pop”. You’re encouraged to think commercially, add value, and work closely with clients, without the pressure of being thrown straight into BD. You don’t need to bring a book. The client base is strong and stable. That said, if you do introduce new relationships, you’re rewarded properly: • 15% of client revenue for life• 9% profit-sharing contribution This is a rare combination: stability and entrepreneurship. Leadership is younger, ambitious, and collaborative. Future peers. Decisions are made quickly. Good ideas are listened to. Independence is non-negotiable, and partnership or ownership is a genuine, structured outcome for the right person. Small by design. Sophisticated by nature.
