Private Client Tax Manager – Thame
We’re working with a top 30 accountancy firm in search of a Private Client Tax Manager for its Thame office.
Real clients. Real progression. No micromanaging. They’ve carved out a strong niche in farming, agri-business, landed estates, and private clients.
You’ll be trusted to manage a solid portfolio from day one - compliance and advisory - with minimal hand-holding in a genuinely supportive environment. It’s a firm that values different perspectives, backs its people to grow, and offers proper flexibility: three days in the office, two from home, and hours you can shape around your life.
What you’ll actually be doing:
* Running a broad portfolio of private client tax work (you won’t be spoon-fed - they want someone who knows what they’re doing)
* Supporting the Partners on compliance and advisory projects
* Building proper relationships with clients, not just firing out emails and hoping for the best
* Bringing your technical brain to the table and actually using it
What they’re offering:
* A grown-up hybrid setup (3 days in, 2 days WFH after probation)
* Flexible hours - core hours 10-4, work around that
* Friendly culture (as in, actually friendly and the people are awesome)
* Ambitious but not cutthroat - plenty of room to grow with them but without the pressure of larger firms
What you’ll need:
* ACA/ACCA or ATT/CTA qualified
* At least 3 years’ post-qualified UK experience
* Ideally, some exposure to landed estates, farming or similar clients - not required though
If you like ticking boxes and hiding behind a team, this won’t be for you. But if you want to be trusted to do a great job with great people, it's worth a look.
