Job Description
Senior Tax Accountant - Music & Entertainment - Location: London / Hybrid
We’re working with a specialist media and music accountancy firm looking to hire a Senior Tax Accountant to join their growing Tax & Compliance team.
This isn’t your typical general practice role.
Our client works with a diverse portfolio of musicians, artists, bands, touring professionals and high-profile creatives, alongside trusts and owner-managed businesses. The work is fast-paced, varied, and often a little more interesting than your standard SME tax return.
The firm is building out its year-end and compliance tax function, and this role will sit at the heart of it — focused on producing returns, managing compliance, and handling HMRC queries across a unique and high-profile client base.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of a compliance-heavy portfolio while supporting the wider firm on tax matters.
Key responsibilities include:
* Preparing personal, corporate and partnership tax returns
* Managing a portfolio of individuals, trusts and creative businesses
* Handling HMRC enquiries and compliance queries
* Supporting with VAT, payroll, P11Ds and Making Tax Digital requirements
* Assisting with year-end reporting and ensuring all deadlines are met
* Working closely with accounts and business management teams
The work is deadline-driven, detail-focused and requires someone comfortable operating in a busy, specialist environment.
About You
We’re looking for a technically strong tax professional who enjoys compliance-led work but also wants exposure to a more exciting and creative client base.
You will likely have:
* 3+ years’ experience in a tax-focused practice role
* Strong experience preparing personal and/or corporate tax returns
* Experience dealing with HMRC enquiries
* ACA, ACCA, ATT or CTA (qualified or part-qualified)
* Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
Why Apply?
* Work within a true media and music accountancy specialist firm
* Exposure to musicians, touring professionals and high-profile creatives
* Varied work beyond standard SME practice
* Growing, centralised tax team with progression opportunities
* Competitive salary and long-term stability
If you’re a tax professional looking to step into a specialist media and music accountancy environment with a genuinely interesting client base, we’d love to hear from you.
