You will play an important part in getting client work underway, supporting take-on and early-stage delivery, and completing initial review work.

• Contribute to high-quality UK private client tax advice and compliance for high-net-worth individuals and family-office clients. 

• Work with increasing autonomy, taking ownership of agreed activities and keeping colleagues informed of progress, risks and next steps. 

• Support matters involving family-office structures, trusts, offshore trusts and related private client issues where relevant. 

• Develop constructive client relationships and contribute to responsive, commercially aware day-to-day service. 

• Delegate appropriate work to junior colleagues as your role develops, providing clear direction and reviewing outputs. 

• Collaborate across the wider team to share knowledge, maintain consistent standards and support effective client delivery. 

Skills, experience, and knowledge you'll need 

• A recognised tax qualification, such as the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) qualification, or an equivalent required tax credential.
