Private Client Tax Advisor/ Semi-Senior
£30,000 - £38,000 + Study Support London Hybrid
I'm partnering with a well-established multi-national private client tax practice to recruit a Private Client Tax Assistant / Semi-Senior for their London office. This is a genuine opportunity to join a highly supportive, people-centric firm with exceptional staff retention (many team members have 10-20+ years' tenure) and a reputation for long-term career development.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Standout client base: Professional sportspeople (golfers, tennis players, cyclists), actors, entertainers, and high-net-worth individuals
* Variety and exposure: No pigeon-holing - encouraged to build broader experience and carve out your own technical niche
* Strong training culture: Full ATT study support via Tolley's, monthly line-manager catch-ups, and progression based on readiness (not rigid timelines)
* Genuinely supportive environment: "The nicest practice I've ever worked for" - feedback from 20-year team member (ex-Big 4)
* Sociable culture: Monthly socials, payday lunches, Friday takeaways, birthday celebrations, January tax-season party
The Role
You’ll join a close-knit 7-person London Private Client team working across UK private clients, sports & entertainment, and some dual UK/US tax exposure.
Responsibilities
* Prepare UK self-assessment tax returns for diverse client portfolio
* Support with HMRC correspondence, client queries, and client coordination
* Attend client meetings and complete meeting notes
* Prepare basic tax calculations and estimates
* Maintain online HMRC accounts and prepare forms for submission
* Draft client emails and request further information for returns
* Attend HMRC webinars and training to build technical knowledge
* Work collaboratively with Assistant Managers, Managers, and Senior Managers
Client Base Includes
* Professional golfers, tennis players, and cyclists
* Actors and entertainers
* High-net-worth individuals
* Some dual UK/US tax clients (training provided)
What You'll Need
* Previous experience in UK private client / personal tax (practice background preferred)
* Studying towards or interested in studying ATT (full support provided) or qualified
* Keen to learn, progress, and develop in a specialist private client environment
* Comfortable working collaboratively in a sociable, professional team
* Strong client service mindset and attention to detail
What's On Offer
Salary & Benefits
* £30,000 - £38,000 depending on experience
* Full ATT study support via Tolley's (course fees, revision courses, study leave for each exam)
Working Pattern
* Hybrid (typically 3 days in the office)
* Predominantly office-based for development and collaboration
* One core day per week where the full team is present for client meetings
* Software: CCH
Culture & Development
* Monthly line-manager catch-ups with clear goals aligned to next-level job specs
* Annual reviews
* Progression based on readiness, not rigid timelines
* Deep technical support and collaborative knowledge-sharing
* Genuinely family-feel environment with strong retention
Interview Process
* Stage 1: Virtual interview (relaxed, conversational - CV walkthrough, reasons for leaving, career motivations, cultural fit)
* Stage 2: In-person interview at London office (more technical discussion)
Why Join Now
This firm offers something rare: genuine variety, interesting clients, and a workplace where people stay long-term because they're valued, supported, and developed. Unlike larger practices, you won't be pigeon-holed - you'll be actively encouraged to build broader experience and progress at your own pace.
